Since this summer, Calgary entered a state of “emergency”--- the main feeder pipes bursted open. Calgary’s water restrictions were not only depressing for me–without a stable water supply, water parks, saunas, and long cozy baths—but also devastating for competitive swimmers like my brother, who needed to practice swimming for his swim meets. I wondered “What caused the Bearspaw Main Feeder break in the first place?” Since then, my twin and I went into a deep rabbit hole, entering a journey of researching pipelines! We realize there are methods of detecting and repairing pipelines, yet each has limitations. I was curious if I could find a solution that’ll prevent emergencies from happening again. We challenged ourselves and designed a device, the InnoRepair Bot, to conduct on-line repairs within pipelines, on AutoCAD software. It was a difficult designing process, but the most challenging part was presenting our prototype to industry experts and asking for feedback. I feared my idea being straight-up rejected—I’ve put so much time and effort into it. And yes, our idea was questioned at first. An engineer expert for Non-Destructive Testing told me that it’s difficult to conduct internal, on-line pipeline repairs. The risk of contaminating the fluid running through the pipeline during repair is too high. It’s difficult, but it doesn't mean it’s impossible! I soon came up with an updated dome design to suck up all the water and debris during the repairing process. Without having the guts to contact industry experts in the first place, I wouldn’t have received their invaluable feedback and encouragement to investigate further. All innovations need to undergo many cycles of refining. The challenge, however, is persevering through trials and errors–standing up from where I’ve fallen and keep on facing forward, despite knowing that I might face another round of rejection again.
