Leak Detection and Localization

Cutting-edge AI technology to detect leaks and anomalies

Combating Water Loss

Ageing infrastructure, growing urbanization, rising costs: it is becoming increasingly important for supply management to ensure that expensively treated water is not lost. In complex water distribution systems, the search for leaks and their precise localization can take a lot of time.

Traditional Approach

Slow Leak Detection

Often takes days or weeks to identify leaks.

Inaccurate Leak Localization

Typically struggles with pinpointing exact locations.

Extensive Repair and Restoration Efforts

Leads to higher costs and longer downtimes.

High Ecological Impact

Increased CO2 emissions.

Resource Waste

Significant loss of valuable resources like drinking water.

Preventio's Solution

Rapid Leak Detection

identifies leaks in under 1 hour.

Precise Leak

Localization pinpoints leaks within 3 meters in 10 hours.

Cost-Efficient Management

reduces repair and restoration costs by 60% through early detection and preventive measures.

Significant Environmental Benefits

with a reduction of CO2 emissions by 378 kg/km; district heating networks can save up to 3740 kg/km of CO2.

Resource Conservation

prevents loss of vital resources like drinking water, enhancing sustainability.

1. Digitizing your pipe network

We digitize, correct, and enrich your current GIS data set.
Integrate the data of the current sensors. In case new sensors are required we calculate the network’s critical joints for a targeted retrofitting using our Optimal Sensor Placement.
We create a Digital Twin which can be used to simulate different scenarios, optimize system maintenance, and prevent downtime.

2. Hydraulic Calibration

We create a hydraulic model of your network and continuously calibrate your network through data analysis. We utilize historical anomalous events to refine our pre-trained AI models, and alternatively employ targeted emptying of the pipes. This process automatically determines the location, volume, and duration of water withdrawal, thus minimizing energy and volume losses. Our approach ensures a dynamic and responsive calibration, adapting to changes in real-time, operating 24/7.

We use historical anomalous events to calibrate pre-trained AI models and alternatively targeted emptying of the pipes. We automatically determine the location, volume, and duration of water withdrawal, therefore minimizing energy and volume losses.
