Leak Detection System
Water and gas networks lose valuable resources through undetected leaks, sometimes for months. This AI agent monitors pressure sensors, flow meters, and acoustic data to pinpoint leak locations early, helping utilities reduce losses and avoid costly infrastructure damage.
About Leak Detection System
The Problem
Water utilities across Australia lose significant volumes through distribution network leaks that go undetected. Gas network leaks pose safety risks on top of the resource loss. Manual inspection is slow and expensive, and many leaks only surface after they have caused substantial damage. By the time a burst main is visible above ground, the underground damage is already done.
How It Works
The Leak Detection System ingests data from pressure sensors, flow meters, and acoustic monitoring equipment across your distribution network. It builds a baseline model of normal network behaviour and flags deviations that indicate developing leaks. The agent cross-references anomalies with GIS data to estimate leak locations and severity, then generates prioritised work orders through your asset management system. It distinguishes between genuine leaks and normal demand fluctuations, keeping false alarm rates low.
Reducing Loss and Protecting Infrastructure
Early detection means smaller repairs, less water or gas lost, and fewer emergency callouts. Maintenance teams receive prioritised alerts with location data rather than spending days searching for leak sources. The approach is similar to the sensor data pipeline work we delivered for an insurance tech company. Talk to our AI consulting team about deploying leak detection across your network.
