FiberSense DigitalLeak - Water Infrastructure Monitoring Software
DigitalLeak from FiberSense provides an advanced solution for the ongoing challenge of water loss in global infrastructures, primarily caused by burst water mains, leaks, operational inefficiencies, and unauthorized connections.Although existing point sensor-based systems offer various approaches, they fall short in achieving network scale impact required for significant progress in this domain. Responsible for about 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions,water and wastewater infrastructures present severe economic and environmental risks if left unaddressed. DigitalLeak stands out by utilizing fiber optic cables already present in the ground for effective and economical monitoring per mile. This solution is designed to rapidly detect and respond to bursts and threats, offering insights essential for efficient water leak management and conservation. DigitalLeak aims to transform industry standards, presenting itself as a pivotal tool in enhancing water security and management practices.
Round the clock next generation monitoring of water infrastructure.
Water loss remains a pressing concern on a global scale, with burst water mains being a primary contributor. This challenge is compounded by leaks, operational inefficiencies, and unauthorized connections. Despite a variety point sensor-based monitoring systems, in their various forms and flavours, the industry has yet to see a real network scale breakthrough in tackling this persistent and significant issue.
With water and wastewater infrastructure account for approximately 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions. And the projected cost of inaction on water-related risks is up to five times greater than the cost of proactive measures, the time to act is now.
FiberSense’s DigitalLeak provides water network operators with innovative monitoring technology that delivers game-changing data and insights needed for rapid detection and response to bursts and other threats to water security. DigitalLeak is the first solution offering the economics per mile necessary for total coverage — a vital component for water leak reduction to be truly effective. DigitalLeak is poised revolutionise the water industry, setting a new standard in water leak management and conservation.
By leveraging fiber optic cables already in the ground, DigitalLeak provides:
- Precise Burst Detection: This allows for the rapid dispatch of field crews for early intervention and remediation.
- Localization: Pinpoint accurate alerts and identification of water points of interest reduce wasted time in locating breaks and other emergencies.
- Cost-Efficiency: By leveraging a turnkey, fully outsourced, fiber-based sensing service at scale, water companies can monitor their entire network at a fraction of the total operational cost of point sensors.
- Continuous Monitoring: DigitalLeak’s sensing technology offers non-contact, real-time surveillance of water pipes, ensuring early issue detection and reducing downtime, disruptions, and water loss.
- Enhanced Reporting: Continuous, in-depth monitoring delivers valuable data sets that enrich water operations and improve reporting to regulators, shareholders, and the public.
- Iterative Solution: Our ever-evolving platform brings features such as ‘leak before break’ closer to realization.
