Services
Leak Detection
Our comprehensive leak detection services utilize acoustic technology, flow-based systems, and specialized equipment to identify water distribution system leaks. We offer emergency response, comprehensive surveys, and canine detection services. Our solutions help utilities recover lost revenue while preventing infrastructure damage through early leak identification.
Water Loss Management
We develop customized water loss management programs that include zone metering, meter testing, and leak detection planning. Our services help utilities comply with regulations while recovering lost revenue. We provide ongoing system monitoring and maintenance to ensure long-term water conservation and cost savings for municipal water systems.
Engineering Services
Our full-service engineering team specializes in water and wastewater infrastructure projects. We provide design and implementation services for water distribution systems, wastewater treatment plants, and stormwater management solutions. We assist with grant applications and funding acquisition to support infrastructure improvements for municipal clients.
Zone Meter Installation
We install district metered area (DMA) systems that enable real-time water flow monitoring. Our zone metering solutions help utilities detect leaks quickly through flow analysis. This technology allows for precise pressure management and early warning systems to prevent major water losses in distribution networks.
Meter Testing
Our meter testing services include water plant meter verification and distribution system meter calibration. We use non-intrusive methods like ultrasonic testing to ensure accurate water usage measurement. This helps utilities maintain compliance with state regulations while identifying potential revenue losses from meter inaccuracies.
