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.ELIOS 3 was selected after a comprehensive evaluation of its ability to address sections where high flow volumes and flow speeds prevented the use of a CCTV inspection vehicle, as well as worker safety, the quality of captured footage, and the cost balance compared with conventional methods.
