Acoustic Analysis - SME Water Ltd

The prevalence of acoustic logging in the UK has surged over the past 5 years, with significant investment in permanent fleets of acoustic loggers across much of the UK’s water networks. We specialise in making sure our clients are getting the most out of their fleets by making sure their analysts have the right information to make informed decisions.

Acoustic Analysis

Burst localisation

One of the key aims of acoustic logging is to improve the accuracy of burst localisation. Acoustic loggers will deliver some great insights, but with tens of thousands of devices on your network all crying out for attention you need to make sure you know which ones to react to first.

Effective maintenance

Understanding where your fleet is truly performing is critical to ensuring you get the best return on your investment. Whether this is down to loggers being disconnected, equipment malfunctioning or failed comms, our reports will ensure your maintenance teams can hit your problem areas and keep your fleet in tip top condition.

Acoustic Analysis

Data integration and analysis

Our simple and transparent approaches to data and reporting helps to put the right information in front of your teams, ensuring they can react to leak noises with confidence as they happen. Integration with flow data allows your teams to see which noises are having the greatest impact on your DMA’s flows, allowing you to prioritise your targeting resources.
