Saving water, saving energy

Permanently installed noise loggers can dramatically cut water losses due to pipework leaks. These instruments attach to underground pipe fittings and transmit leak data by radio signals to a receiver. With help from Halma underground leak monitoring systems, the Birmingham Water Works Board, Alabama, USA, located over 700 pipework leaks and reduced water leakage in the city of Birmingham by 55% over a two-year period. Installed throughout the city of Las Vegas, USA, our leak monitors detected over 250 leaks, saved over 65 million gallons of water and cut more than $100,000 in electricity costs in just one year.

Environmental data logging

Our datalogging systems collect, collate and transmit data about environmental conditions using conventional telemetry or satellite communication technology in very remote locations. River flows and levels, reservoir levels, sewer overflows and pipeline flow rates from treatment works can be monitored. Recorded environmental data is transmitted straight to the user’s computer or mobile device.

Reducing the likelihood of pipe bursts

Water companies in many countries use Halma electronic pressure controllers to prevent bursts in underground water pipes. These instruments measure and locally adjust water pressure to protect distribution networks from damage.

Using Halma automatic pressure controllers, Bristol Water, UK, maintains a continuous supply for customers in its hilly territory while preventing high water pressures that could burst pipes.
