Innovative leakage technology is set to be showcased at the upcoming Global Leakage Summit 2018 next month which takes place in London on 13th-14th March.
With 35 expert speakers, 12 sponsors and 25 exhibitors, delegates at the Summit will learn about the latest case study results and technology solutions for maintaining and operating water networks.
From ‘intelligent asset management’ to ‘ensuring sustainability and resilience’ the Summit agenda has a specific focus on improving network operations. Smart technologies – for monitoring, analysing and communicating data from the water network - and then having the right technology for better handling and understanding of the data - are increasingly key to achieving operational efficiencies and driving down leakage in the water sector.
Innovative technologies and updates being showcased at this year’s Summit include:
- Anglian Water’s ‘shop window’ of technology innovation, from pressure transient monitoring to thermal and spectral imaging drones
- Permanent acoustic monitoring on a network-wide scale
- Using the Internet of Things to handle and understand ‘big data’
- A ‘leak before break’ concept to drive investment in strategic infrastructure
- An update on tests on the uncertainty of measuring water into supply
- A new portable flow meter for meeting challenges of flow measurement in large mains
- A pressure reducing valve with an entirely new control concept
- Using corrugated stainless steel pipes to minimise corrosion and provide longevity
- A new non-intrusive leak repair technology – a long awaited addition to water infrastructure operations
