Water networks

We have revolutionised the pipeline design process, making it possible to plan and design pipelines more quickly and efficiently. Our proprietary software Moata Route Optimiser builds on detailed knowledge of appropriate construction techniques, minimising the social and environmental impacts of pipelines and reducing embodied carbon and whole-life costs. 

• Sensors and IoT devices – installation of sensors throughout the water network for real-time monitoring of flow rates, pressure and water quality, as well as leak detection.
• Data analytics – use of big data analytics to process and interpret data collected from the sensors, providing valuable insights into network performance.

• Real-time leak detection – using acoustic sensors and other technologies to detect leaks as soon as they occur, minimising water loss and damage.
• Predictive maintenance – using predictive analytics to anticipate and address potential issues before they lead to significant problems.
• Non-revenue water – applying data analytics skills to understand the commercial and physical losses.

• Automated valves and pumps – implementation of automated control systems to manage water flow and pressure dynamically, ensuring optimal performance and reducing energy consumption.
• Supervisory control and data acquisition – use of SCADA systems to provide centralised monitoring and control of water network operations.

• Continuous monitoring – tracking of water quality parameters such as pH and turbidity to ensure safe drinking water.

• Automated response – automated systems to respond to water quality issues, such as adjusting treatment processes or isolating affected sections of the network.

• Smart metering – installation of smart meters for real-time monitoring of water usage, helping you and your consumers to manage demand more effectively.
• Demand forecasting – using data analytics to predict water demand patterns and optimise supply accordingly.

• Energy efficient operations – optimising the operation of pumps and other equipment to reduce energy consumption and capture energy recovery.
• Integration with renewable energy – incorporating renewable energy sources, such as solar powered pumps, to enhance sustainability.

• Real-time alerts – enabling an immediate response to issues such as pipe bursts, contamination or other emergencies.
• Crisis management – advanced tools for managing and mitigating the impacts of emergencies on water supply and distribution.

• Automated reporting – automating the collection and reporting of data to regulatory authorities to ensure compliance with water quality and environmental regulations.
• Transparency – enhancing transparency and accountability through improved data availability and reporting.

• Interconnected systems – ensuring that different components of the water pipelines and networks can communicate and work together seamlessly.
• Standardisation – adopting industry standards for data formats and communication protocols to facilitate interoperability.

• Consumer portals – providing consumers with access to instantaneous usage data and alerts through web portals or mobile apps.
• Incentive programmes – implementing programmes to encourage water conservation and efficient usage among consumers.
