Detectronic, a water monitoring company, and its Australian channel partner, Environmental Data Services (EDS), announced that they are set to deliver an important field trial project for a large water authority.
Covering three separate catchment sites over six months, the flow survey project will see the unnamed water authority deploy a number of Detectronic’s LIDoTT® smart sensors: multi-sensor sewer monitors incorporating temperature, pressure, and ultrasonic level technologies to provide continuous data in surcharge conditions.
“As a result of the positive trial phase earlier this year, we were invited to tender for the field trial and consequently won the tender,” said Sebastian Harper, managing director of Environmental Data Services. “The objective of this particular field trial is to enable the water authority to enhance its understanding of the overall sewer network with a view to further improving performance, efficiency and environmental sustainability.”
“In six months, the water authority will have a . . . highly accurate picture of these specific areas of the network that have been monitored.,” continued Harper. “This will inform the implementation of a wider smart sewer network that consistently performs with zero major blockages, and without the spills or pollutions that can cost water companies millions to resolve.”
“Winning this tender is a tangible milestone for Detectronic and our channel partner, EDS,” said Dave Walker, co-founder of Detectronic. “We’re looking forward to working with the water authority and supporting them to further improve the resilience and performance of their wastewater network.”
