Items this document does not state (17)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Against a backdrop of aging social infrastructure, growing renewal needs, labor shortages and fiscal constraints, there is a need to shift from conventional inspections centered on manual labor to mechanized, labor-saving and standardized inspections. Sewer pipelines in particular present challenges, including narrow, enclosed spaces, toxic gases, oxygen deficiency, and high temperatures and humidity.
