How the impacts of water leakage can be reduced by monitoring the asset health of pipelines
Despite being the most essential method of transporting water, pipelines typically aren’t considered in asset maintenance programs (AMPs). Not only that, but a significant portion of the UK water pipeline network is aging, buried underground and more prone to leakage, which can have severe impacts for customers, surrounding areas and water utilities themselves.
In this article, Atmos’ Business Development Director for water Martin Duff discusses how the impacts of water leakage can be reduced by prioritizing the asset maintenance of pipelines.
The following areas are covered in the article:
- Clean water pipelines
- Wastewater pipelines
- Noise correlation
- Flow balance
- Pressure distribution analysis
- Negative pressure wave
- High resolution data
Monitoring asset health starts with reliable pipeline leak detection. Find out more by reading the full feature in this issue of Water Industry Journal or click the image to read.
