Water Management

As potable water is already becoming a scarce resource, especially in Africa, and is becoming increasingly expensive, the proper management of water is of critical importance.



Products & Services for Water Management

Data Logging

Service Description: Data logging involves the collection of data such as flow and pressure, from a water meter with a preprogrammed data logging device over a specified period. These data are then downloaded onto a PC using data logging software where the data can be analyzed to produce useful information to assist in management decision making.

Purpose of Data Logging:
=  Flow Rates
=  Water Consumption Disputes
=  Development Planning
=  Water Reticulation Management
=  Leak Detection
=  District & Zone Demarcation & Planning
=  Water Balances

AMR – Automatic Meter Reading

Mobile Touch Reading (Touch-Pads)

Mobile Touch Reading entails the installation of small touch-pads into a read out point (positioned according to customer needs) where the meter reading is automatically acquired by placing a “Mini-Reader” on the touch-pad.

Purpose of Touch-Pads
=  Difficult to get to Meters
=  Less time spent acquiring meter reading
=  Less error
=  No double work in entering the details into a billing system
=  Better working conditions for meter readers

Fixed Radio Network

A Fixed Radio Network allows for a fully remote Automatic Meter Reading system via a transmitter connected to the water meter which transmits the meter reading to a repeater to a central station. The data obtained can then be used for billing purposes as well as identifying abnormal consumption patterns caused by burst pipes or vandalism.

Purpose of Fixed Radio Network

=  Remote reading of water meters (Electricity Meters)
=  Less error
=  Convenient method to obtain accurate billing information
=  Leak Detection
=  Difficult to get to meters
