Suez Case Study
Suez set Inflowmatix the challenge of demonstrating our InflowSys™ platform against the following four objectives:
- Monitor the dynamic hydraulic behaviour of the Verneuil sur Seine and Vernouillet network via high frequency pressure measurements (128 S/s).
- Apply analytics to characterise observed pressure variations using Cumulative Pressure Induced Stress (CPIS™) modelling and calculate covariates for pipe deterioration modelling.
- Evaluate potential enhancements to PREVOIR™ using the monitoring technology and CPIS™ related covariates and analytics provided by Inflowmatix.
- Gather preliminary insights through this initial case study and provide data for a conference paper to be presented at Lesam - 17 June 2017
Solution
Following consultation with Suez, Inflowmatix performed a series of due diligence activities in order to maximise the accuracy of the agreed outcomes. This included measuring the accurate elevation of the assets where devices were deployed to enable and build a clearer and more accurate hydraulic model. Post due diligence and planning, the InflowSys™ solution was deployed; a leading data analytics suite to monitor high frequency transient sources and dynamic pressure variability additionally measuring the Cumulative Pressure Induced Stress (CPIS™) within a water network.Solution deployment took place over a 5 week period in two phases and included deployments of 54 deployments using 27 InflowSense™ devices. During the trial there were no device failures and a number of devices were retained in the network
