SME Water has developed a range of specialist services to support the operational efficiency of the UK water industry and promote long term resilience.
Through close collaboration with the industry, we have developed three analysis platforms that directly tackle the most pressing challenges in clean water distribution networks. Guided by the PALM framework, Dynamo takes preventing breakout leakage through the promotion of calm networks as its core aim, while Paradigm delivers a new, data driven approach to improve awareness of the causes of unaccounted for water. Last but not least, Radar ensures our clients maximise the return on their investment in acoustic logging technology, driving continuous improvement in lift and shift deployments and optimising the configuration of fixed acoustic networks to help us locate more leaks.
In addition to the analysis platforms we have produced the Academy, a learning platform suitable for all experience levels. Whether a new starter getting to grips with the practicalities of water networks or an old hand looking to make the most of SME Water’s suite of services, the Academy provides a foundation in understanding water networks and our services.
Currently the subject of a 3-year industry club project, Dynamo provides analytics and tools to tackle the challenges of pressure management and control in clean water networks. Through the creation of design standards, Dynamo’s ongoing analysis tools ensure that optimised systems are maintained and benefits are tracked, delivering a clear view of performance across each company.
Paradigm’s demand forecasting model provides a detailed breakdown of expected DMA-level demand for comparison with actual net flow. This allows the user to immediately identify flows that do not match the expected net flow profile for an area and supports the interrogation of this information, using intuitive techniques to identify the likely causes of the problem.
An advanced acoustic analysis platform that helps water utilities optimise the performance and management of both fixed and lift-and-shift acoustic logger fleets. By integrating multiple data sources, Radar provides in-depth analytical insights into fleet health, coverage, and operational efficiency, aiding in the full cycle of deployment planning.
Our e-learning training platform that provides structured learning through short courses that feature case studies, articles, videos and quizzes. The Academy ensures that industry professionals can easily get up to speed with our services, deepen their understanding of water networks, and revisit essential concepts whenever needed.
Cadence is a smarter way to manage your data. Validating and connecting flow, pressure and operational datasets to create a single, trusted version of the truth that powers our analysis platforms. By ensuring that every dataset reinforces and contextualises the others, Cadence provides the integrity and clarity needed to build reliable analytics, demand models, and network performance insights.
