Water Matrix is pleased and excited to be partnering with Utilis. Their technology represents an incredible advancement in leak detection and will be a valuable solution for our customers.

Sean Kimmons, President, COO | Canada

Utilis Solution will help us maximize the value of our customers’ water products and services by optimizing water distribution system performance and reliability, minimizing delivery costs, and reducing the annual value of water lost leakage on a client’s transmission and distribution mains through active network leakage control measures.

The Intelligent Water Networks (IWN) is focused on trialling and evaluating emerging technologies that could benefit Victorian water consumers. As part of this strategy we are working with Utilis to develop their evolving technology. We are in the process of expanding our trial from metropolitan areas to regional areas.

Innovation is one of the key values in HERA Group, that it is constantly looking to become more efficient and to deliver the best service possible to our customers. With this goal in mind we run a pilot with Utilis in the city of Ferrara, the results were good and we’ve decided to engage in a multi annual service contract with Utilis for leak detection using satellite based technology.

About Us

Around the world, 46 billion liters of treated water are lost every day.

Although non-revenue-water problem is important, solving it is limited by today’s leak detection technologies. These technologies are limited: they require expensive labor and hardware – even when the systems are software-based. At some point, and despite the waste of water, utilities can’t make widespread use of current leak detection technologies, since they don’t make economic sense.

Enter Utilis.

Using technology that is used to look for water on other planets, Utilis analyzes satellite imagery to detect leaks and non-revenue-water. The result? Leak detection that covers thousands of square kilometers at once. The leaks are displayed in user friendly GIS reports including street locations, with great accuracy, saving significant labor associated with finding leaks with current methods.

Utilis uses aerial imaging –

taken from satellite mounted sensors – to spot leakage in underground distribution pipes. The raw imagery is then overlaid on GIS systems and is processed by Utilis’ unique algorithms. The Utilis algorithm detects treated water, by looking for a particular spectral “signature” typical to drinking water. Eventually, the user is presented with a leakage graphic report overlaid on a map with streets and pipes.

How our technology works

1
Satellite Image Acquisition

Raw satellite images of the area are acquired.

2
Radiometric Corrections

Utilis takes the raw data and prepares it for analysis, by filtering bounces from buildings and other manmade objects, vegetation hydrologic objects, and more.

3
Algorithmic Analysis

Utilis uses advanced algorithmic analysis to track the spectral “signature” of potable water in the ground.

4
Web based app and intuitive UI

The leaks are displayed in user friendly GIS reports including street locations.

Service

The Utilis service is provided periodically, on a monthly, quarterly or half-year basis;

at the beginning of each period, Utilis presents a graphic and/or tabular Leakage Report containing location and estimated size of suspected leaks. The information is displayed on top Google Maps or Google Satellite layer.

Utilis periodic Leakage Reports benefits include: early leaks detection and repairs verification, that significantly contribute to NRW reduction.
Repetitive update of the leakage reports improve accuracy of findings, thus enabling composition of more efficient operational work-plans.
