What if your rising main could tell you there was a problem before it failed?
Rising sewer mains are a critical part of wastewater infrastructure, and their failure comes with significant costs for operators in the form of environmental damage, operational disruption and increased repair and maintenance. However, issues with rising mains often start long before the catastrophic failures that make the headlines, and operators that want to reduce the risk to their networks and the surrounding environment need to detect and address defects as early as possible.
Our recent piece in Water Industry Journal explains how continuous hydraulic monitoring can spot the transient pressure signatures typical of developing leak faster, before a more significant failure occurs. By complementing SCADA systems design for operational management, advanced analytical techniques allow operators to detect and locate a leak, then respond proactively as part of a strategy of condition-based asset management.
As the water industry builds towards a smarter, digital-first way of working, continuous hydraulic monitoring will become an effective tool for the creation and operation of the resilient infrastructure demanded by regulators. By offering insight into the hydraulic behavior that contributed to a defect or leak, the technology can inform preventative network design and operation, building efficiency as well as resilience.

Atmos Insight offers high-resolution IoT monitoring for the water industry
Our real-time monitoring platform for water utilities combines leak detection, high-frequency transient pressure monitoring and ultrasonic flow measurement to provide continuous visibility of pipeline behavior. Atmos Insight provides the operational visibility that operators need to catch changes in how their pipelines are running before they turn into problems, as well as find efficiencies that allow them to save on operating costs.
Working with our easy-to-deploy hardware and with an intuitive and clear user interface, the platform adds context to leaks and other abnormal events, while reducing noise that operators have to sort through. Atmos Insight reduces the delay from information to action and removes the need for advanced analytics expertise, meaning that issues can be fixed fast, no matter who’s in the control room.
