Globally one of the largest privately owned water companies, Severn Trent PLC delivers clean water to 8 million customers via 534 service reservoirs, 20 treatment works and 45,674km of water mains.
Accurate leakage reporting is based on the ability to account for the Water Balance - all flows through a network from Distribution Input (DI) to customer usage. Previously, the client had no way to view the live flow data, as their hydraulic modelling tool provided by Netbase does not contain the newer telemetry data. In this instance the client required dedicated tools that fit their specific purpose, rather than the broad and somewhat complicated approach previously in use.
The Balance Tool has been designed to calculate the water balance at control group or water company level. The functionality was subsequently expanded to allow the download, import and view live telemetry data within the Balance Tool. Finally, the inclusion of a basic District Metered Area (DMA) demand analysis function provides a live DMA mass balance and calculated leakage. Functionality also allows models to be updated using these live mass balances.
The tool has provided the ability to view live flow data and facilitates ‘live modelling’ with up to date demand profiles which improves models' overall effectiveness. The result is that the client has a greater understanding of their network performance in almost real time.
