Water Audit - On Site Survey

Water leak detectionA site survey is undertaken following on from the desktop study, or at customer request in order to understand the supply, distribution and infrastructure regimes.

Depending on the nature of the site, our engineers will attempt to match whatever pipework plans  are provided and verify these against the actual confirguration.  Anomalies and errors will be reported directly to the client, this being part of our standard reporting procedure.

Our engineers have extensive experience in the water industry and will be able to identify likely risk areas, including potential contamination issues. The real benefit of the activity however is to account for apparent losses, confirm legitimate usage and minimise your bill.

Where losses to ground are proven not to have been returned to the sewer network, it may be possible to make a claim against the sewage provider to recover monies inappropriately charged.

The main objective of our engineers is to do a consumption analysis, identifying and locating water wastage and leakage, bad practices and the opportunity for reducing water consumption with associated cost-savings.

It will also include, where appropriate, comment on any on-site effluent treatment to ensure environmental compliance and disposal at least cost.

Close co-operation and communication will be maintained with all relevant site staff to achieve an understanding of all site processes that use and dispose of water.

Real Time Access to Water Consumption Data

In some cases, we might advise the use of the latest GSM technology and logger systems.

This will allow virtual real time access to water consumption data. Short duration readings are taken allowing a compilation of meaningful profiles showing both day and night consumption.

The nightline gives detail of the base consumption and is the  figure on the graph  that  indicates lowest water use.

All of this aids a focused approach towards additional water efficiency investment measures in  terms of revised process control, reduced consumption and increased financial benefit.
