Managing ​Utility ​Networks with ​Data Driven ​Solutions

540 Technologies, an environmental and data solutions provider that works with utility systems and other companies to help them become more efficient, cost effective and environmentally responsible, recently added pipe diagnostics, smart lighting and smart grid solutions to its offerings.

The company – which launched in March under the name FlowNetworx to offer solutions, expertise and training in water-loss management as well as wastewater metering and monitoring – is now doing business as 540 Technologies to better reflect the company's growing smart city portfolio.

In addition to its services and solutions for water leak detection, leak pinpointing, water pressure control, data acquisition and management, wastewater metering and monitoring and waterflow measuring for district metered areas, 540 Technologies now provides expertise in smart streetlighting, smart electric metering and assessment of underground water infrastructure.

In addition to working with public and private utilities, 540 Technologies provides environmental and data solutions to cities, counties, municipalities, colleges and universities, and civil engineering firms as well as amusement parks, resorts and retail property management companies.

"We live in a world where advancing technologies are making it possible for utilities, businesses, and institutions of higher learning to provide better, more responsive service to the people they serve – all while operating more efficiently and cost effectively and with greater environmental responsibility," said Shawn Pulford, 540 Technologies' chief executive officer.

"We partner with leading-edge equipment manufacturers to bring our customers the best available technology solutions in each of these sectors. Beyond that, our in-house experts offer our customers the insight, analysis and training to implement the smart city solutions they need."

Through distribution relationships with its individual technology partners, 540 Technologies is the exclusive source of the manufacturers' products and services in selected territories. The company's current technology partners include Fluid Conservation Systems of Milford, Ohio (water loss management, data acquisition and cloud-based hosting and wastewater metering and monitoring); Aquam Corporation of San Diego, California and Manchester, United Kingdom(pipe diagnostics); Hydreka of Limonest, France (waterflow measuring for district-metered areas); and Sensus, a Xylem brand, of Raleigh, North Carolina (smart streetlighting and smart electric metering).

540 Technologies is a former business unit and current affiliate of LB Water Service, Inc., a leading distributor of waterworks infrastructure products in the Mid-Atlantic region.

The company has helped hundreds of counties, municipalities and utility providers find and pinpoint leaks in their underground water-distribution networks, resulting in a savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions of gallons of clean drinking water.

Since March, 540 Technologies has expanded its leak detection and other water-loss management solutions to other distribution regions beyond LB Water's footprint, including Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine.
