Our capabilities begin with a strong understanding of the long-term condition and performance of pipe materials and extend through asset and hydraulic modelling techniques to provide innovative approaches to understanding leakage and the effects and benefits of management techniques.
Burstfinder is GL Water's innovative and award winning leakage and demand location technique, which enables utilities to identify hotspots for further investigation.
Using state of the art techniques Burstfinder uses pressure data measured in the field to run an optimisation within a hydraulic model to locate "hotspots" for further investigation. Being based on pressure rather than noise, Burstfinder operates equally well on all pipe materials and can localise anomalies to a street level, which enables improved effectiveness of leakage detection teams.
