Crumbling water systems, caused by degraded infrastructure, aging parts, and the accelerating pressures of climate change, are costing water companies millions of pounds each year. The cost to replace these assets, or even to keep up with asset maintenance, is causing a strain on already stressed budgets. Safeguarding assets, systems optimization and improved resiliency are real challenges that require effective and innovative solutions.
Every day, about 91 billion gallons of drinking water are lost through leaks, according to the International Water Association. The US Environmental Protection Agency reports that, on average, 14 percent of treated water in the United States leaks out. In some water systems, as much as 60% of water is lost. In its recent report, the UK Environment Agency stated most water companies in 2022 were not meeting basic environmental requirements when it comes to leaks, pollution, flood risk management and drainage and wastewater plans. In the face of increased pressures from accelerating climate change and inflationary pressure on costs, an innovative approach to solving these challenges faster and more efficiently is required.
Our team works around the globe to develop digital water solutions by adopting innovative technologies for the sustainable management of water systems, flood protection, resilience and condition assessment.
