about us
AI analytics that help utilities predict and prevent wastewater network failures
Trusted by water utilities across the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, and now supporting utilities in the United States.
Proactive.
Predictive.
Powered by AI.
StormHarvester is a software company that uses advanced machine learning to help wastewater utilities predict blockages, pump station failures, rising main bursts, spills and inflow and infiltration before they cause flooding or pollution.
Our sensor-agnostic platform analyses data from the level and pump sensors utilities already own, and turns it into accurate, prioritised alerts that operations teams can trust. The result is fewer false alarms, fewer reactive callouts and clearer evidence for capital planning decisions.

CEO & Founder
Our Story
StormHarvester began in 2012, when founder and CEO Brian Moloney was working as a civil engineer in Australia. After years in engineering consultancies specialising in wastewater design and hydraulic modelling, he could see that the data needed to prevent flooding and pollution already existed. It just was not being used.
Our early work focused on predicting how rainfall affects network performance. That led to a highly accurate machine learning system for detecting blockages and anomalies, launched in 2016 with support from Queen's University Belfast and TechStart Ventures.
Today StormHarvester analyses data from sensors across wastewater networks in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and the US. In 2025 we raised £8.4m in Series A funding, led by YFM Equity Partners with Emerald Technology Ventures, to double our team and expand internationally.
