Water Network Monitoring & Leak Detection // Pipe Condition Assessment

Aquarius ​Spectrum is a ​leading ​provider of ​advanced leak ​detection ​solutions for ​water loss ​reduction, ​burst ​prevention & ​pipe condition ​assessment. ​Aquarius ​solutions are ​optimizing the ​maintenance and ​operational ​costs. Our ​products are ​currently ​monitoring more ​than 2,000 ​Miles of water ​pipes around ​the world ​helping major ​water utilities ​reduce their ​Non-Revenue-​Water (NRW) and ​reduce their ​M&O costs by ​using fixed and ​mobile acoustic ​sensors. ​

Aquarius’​ wide range of ​innovative ​solutions ​enables ​Utilities to ​proactively ​monitor any ​water pipe ​materials and ​diameter, while ​tracing leaks ​and pinpoint ​their exact ​locations ​automatically ​on daily basis. ​This is ​performed by ​using highly ​sensitive ​sensors, ​management ​software and ​mobile ​application. ​ The main two are:

AQS-SYS: Automated continuous monitoring of water pipe networks using fixed correlating sensors and cloud-based software, automatically providing accurate GIS presentation of leaks and pipe condition. AQS-SYS asset management capabilities enables decision support and optimized budget planning of infrastructure maintenance.

iQuarius™: An easy-to-use smartphone-based leak detection solution using mobile sensors enabling to pinpoint leaks by listening, surveying and performing correlation. The mobile solution includes BackOffice supervision and data analysis.

The Aquarius-​Spectrum’​s patented leak ​detection ​solution ​differs from ​conventional ​leak detection ​such as noise ​logging in both ​design and ​methodology. ​Aquarius-​Spectrum ​automatically collects daily ​acoustic ​samples from ​its sensors ​that are ​monitoring the ​water ​distribution ​network and ​correlates them ​automatically. ​This unique ​multi spectral ​correlation ​provides ​reliable leak ​detection, ​accurate leak ​location and an ​estimation of ​the leak size ​for all the ​pipe materials ​and diameters. ​Reaching such ​high-quality ​results is ​enabled by ​collecting and ​analyzing large ​acoustic ​samples which ​are transmitted ​over a standard ​3G ​cellular ​network. 

Aquarius is ​successfully ​deployed in the ​largest water ​utilities in ​Israel, USA & ​the UK markets. ​

Key Advantages

Detection by Correlation

- More sensitive & immune to background noise - detects small leaks.

- Accurate leak location – pinpointing leaks.

- Detects broken water meters & hydrants.

 - Provides leak size estimation.

Continuous monitoring vs. on-demand correlation

– Performs daily automatic correlations locating small leaks as they appear vs. looking for leaks on specific occasions.

3G Cellular communication vs. Private Networks

– Increases flexibility and bandwidth which enables sending more data to be analysed on the server.

Faster deployment and lower cost

- On average 2 sensors are required to monitor 1 km of metal pipe. 

 

Pipe Condition Assessment

Pipe replacement cost about $1M per 1 km.

- Detects malfunctioning equipment (valves, air vents, meters).

- Replacement prioritization by condition rather than age.

- Extend the life of existing assets.
