Inflow & Infiltration Detection

Detect and target problem areas

Spills start

small, and we

stop them early.

Inflow and infiltration can overwhelm wastewater networks, causing unnecessary treatment costs, environmental harm, and damage to infrastructure.

StormHarvester’s I&I Detection technology continuously monitors your network, turning silent risks into visible insights. By identifying problem areas early, utilities can take targeted action, preventing excess flow from entering the system and avoiding costly consequences.

Pinpoint the sources, protect the system

Detecting inflow and infiltration (I&I) early is crucial for maintaining the efficiency of wastewater systems and to avoid the consequences that ripple across operations, budgets, and the environment.

Stop Spills

Act before excess flow reaches critical points. Prevent flooding and environmental harm.

Protect Networks

Reduce strain and extend asset life. Avoid unplanned downtime with proactive detection.

Target Repairs

Focus resources where they matter most. Pinpoint problem areas to optimise budgets.

How inflow & infiltration works

StormHarvester’s I&I Detection platform monitors wastewater networks at both site level and across the entire asset base, identifying problematic areas before they escalate.

Using AI and predictive analytics you can detect between Inflow and Infiltration, the system gives a clear view of what’s happening at every asset.

\

Determine the drivers behind the spills throughout your network.

\

Pinpoints I&I at the macro-level (network/catchment wide) and micro-level (individual asset level).

\

Highlights exact locations for targeted investigations and repairs.

\

Differentiates between I&I for faster root-cause analysis and intervention.

Inflow & Infiltration Detection

Pinpoint i&i across your entire network

From identifying problematic catchments to uncovering the root causes of spills, StormHarvester helps you detect and address Inflow & Infiltration with precision.

Network Visualisation

Network Visualisation allows you to see when and why your network is at capacity, and where spare capacity might exist. Each individual site is tagged with risk of I&I and tidal ingress which is useful tool for triaging and situational awareness.

This insight can be used by utilities to help with decision-making and where to spend capital. Removing inflow at the source is almost always a more economical decision than having to build and maintain new wetlands.

Southern Water

Southern Water

Southern Water previously relied on static Hi-Hi alarms to monitor its pump stations. During periods of heavy rainfall, these alarms would trigger, offering little clarity on which sites genuinely required attention. As a result, many alerts were routinely “paused”, and critical issues often went undetected until pumps had already failed.

South West Water started a trial with StormHarvester in 2023 for Blockage Detection, monitoring 300 sites initially. South West Water made the conscious decision to end the blockage detection trial early due to the StormHarvester platform demonstrating benefits to the business.
