16. Risk-Based Deployment

17. Thames Water Deployments

18. • Precise location of leak signal along pipe
• Can locate to within 1 metre assuming length of pipe known
Automated confidence level to
minimise risk of false positive alerts

24. Anglian Water – Summary of
Benefits
• As shown, Anglian Water deployed 5 TransientMinder units in an area
that was experiencing increased leakage and bursts
• The units clearly showed regular transients being generated and a high
level of transient “turbulence” on the network
• The detailed resolution provided by TransientMinder, including exact
geographic positioning, allowed Anglian Water to use facts to calculate
the cost-benefits of the work they were considering undertaking
• After undertaking the work, Anglian Water kept the units in position and
showed that the remedial work had been effective
• Anglian Water continues to monitor the network there as part of its
commitment to maintaining a resilient network
• Anglian Water estimates the following benefits from this work:
– 45% reduction in bursts
– 59% reduction in other leaks
– Reduction in distribution inputof 0.7 MLD
