Target network areas with excess flow
I&I (Inflow and Infiltration) is caused by excess water flowing into the sewer system. This additional water strains the capacity of the sewer system and can lead to spills.
The StormHarvester solution detects I&I at a site level as well as across the entire network, allowing identification of problematic network areas.
Gain a greater understanding into what is happening at each asset across the entire wastewater network.
Long term data trends can be visualised, showing the influences behind spills.
- Custom long-term visualisation showing trends over 3+ years
- Drivers behind spills
- % chance of overflow with varying intensities of rainfall
Benefits:
- Traditionally, I & I has been costly and time-consuming to identify, without frequent site visits and flow monitoring surveys. Inflow and Infiltration detector solves this issue.
- Water utilities can consider anomalous levels from independent sensor to full wastewater network. This informs understanding of performance and impacts at sensor location, pipe and full network levels.
- Water utilities can visualise the actual performance of their network under different conditions using real life data rather than using expensive time-consuming theoretical models of the wastewater network. Performance can be replayed to enable holistic, causal analysis of I & I issues.
Network Visualisation allows you to see when and why your network is at capacity, and where spare capacity might exist.
This insight can be used by utilities to help decision-making with where to spend capital. Removing inflow can be a more economical decision rather than having to build and maintain new wetlands.
“The I&I tool has not only provided us with another tool to help reduce spills and pollution, but a data driven tool to help scope, size and prioritise the right solutions and investment. Another win for machine learning”
