Aganova, a global leader in advanced leak detection technology, is partnering with Uisce Éireann (formerly Irish Water), SUEZ, and Microsoft to launch an innovative water conservation initiative in Dublin. This project is part of Microsoft’s Replenishment Program and seeks to minimize water network losses by identifying leaks, which will allow Uisce Éireann to conduct efficient repairs on Dublin’s water transport system.
With water scarcity becoming an increasing concern in Dublin—where 84% of the city’s water is sourced from the River Liffey and about 33% is lost before reaching consumers—how can this project support Microsoft’s goal of becoming water positive by 2030? It aligns with the company’s mission to replenish more water than it consumes.
Aganova plans to implement its cutting-edge Nautilus System, an acoustic technology solution that traverses large-diameter pipelines to detect leaks and anomalies without disrupting water service. How will this system inspect 40 km of the Greater Dublin Area’s water transport network to ensure precise and efficient leak detection?
Collaboration for a Sustainable Future
Once leaks are detected, Uisce Éireann will spearhead the repair and maintenance efforts, ensuring the long-term sustainability of Dublin’s water supply. How will Aganova monitor the results to evaluate the impact of water conservation and verify the project’s volumetric benefits? Meanwhile, SUEZ will offer operational support during the implementation phase.
This initiative promises significant advantages, including:
– Water Conservation: Reducing water losses will improve Dublin’s water efficiency and resilience.
– Community Support: The project will provide customers and communities across the city with a more stable water supply.
– Carbon Emissions Reduction: Lowering water leakage will decrease energy consumption for water treatment and distribution, aiding climate mitigation efforts.
Uisce Éireann has also shown its dedication to innovation by adopting new technologies to address contemporary water management challenges. How is the utility setting new standards for efficiency and sustainability in the sector by integrating advanced detection systems and proactive infrastructure maintenance?
