Social housing provider Vico Homes Ltd has awarded a contract for the Aquila 2c real-time closed loop water monitoring system with an estimated value of £584,208 (including VAT).
The contract covers the supply, installation, cloud based monitoring access, alarm configuration and ongoing data insight functionality associated with the Aquila 2c Water Monitoring System across 25 sites.
The system is a real time, cloud enabled corrosion and water quality monitoring system used to monitor dissolved oxygen, pressure, temperature, conductivity, pH, make up water volumes, galvanic corrosion and crevice corrosion within closed loop heating and chilled water systems.
Earliest date the contract will be signed is 30 April 2026.
Current estimated start and end contract dates are 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2031 with further possible extension options up to 31 May 2035.
The direct contract award has been made to Hevasure Ltd. as a single supplier for technical reasons as follows.
The Aquila 2c system provides a unique combination of:
- Continuous monitoring of 10+ corrosion and chemistry related parameters;
- Data captured at 15 minute intervals and stored in the cloud;
- Integrated GSM/Wi Fi communication;
- A proprietary dashboard and alerting ecosystem, with visual indication of individual parameter conformance to spec via use of traffic-light icons
- Sophisticated analytics platform enabling trends to be captured together with the ability to annotate charts to capture key events
- Overall corrosion health assessment based on the output of multiple sensors
- Monitoring of dissolved oxygen, pH, water make-up volume, pressure, temperature, galvanic currents and associated corrosion rate, crevice corrosion (of steel and copper) and inhibitor concentration via conductivity conversion.
- Cumulative values over time of corrosion, dissolved oxygen and galvanic currents
Vico Homes Ltd explained that there is no alternative system available in the market that delivers this same integrated suite of sensors, cloud capabilities and validated corrosion analytics from a single unit, which is required for interoperability with the existing condition monitoring infrastructure.
