Identify Pipeline Leaks Faster

Sept. 18, 2020

RADAR, a cloud-based water and wastewater network data analysis platform, analyzes data collected from installed PIPEMINDER monitoring devices and displays and notifies utilities in a format that is user-customizable and easy to digest. The RADAR platform has been developed to deliver network intelligence with a streamlined modern interface that is simpler, faster, and more intuitive. Featuring zone alarms that notify a high or low-pressure breach, elevation options for plotting total head pressures, automated triangulation of major events, and pattern recognition so users can easily focus on key events, the platform provides even deeper network insights to save time, increase operational efficiency, and build resilience by reducing disruptive pipeline leaks and bursts.

 

Listening to clients like Anglian Water led Syrinix to develop groundbreaking improvements to the platform, originally launched in 2014, that continue to enhance the RADAR user experience. The new multi-zone alarms alert the utility when a minimum network pressure level is breached, automatically switching to more frequent data updates so customers can address network issues in real-time. While previous versions of RADAR identified that a transient had occurred, the triangulation feature now automatically pinpoints the location of major transients so network events, like bursts, can be found more quickly. The innovative pattern recognition feature compares and classifies transient waveforms against a standard set of reference transients specific to that network. By classifying similar shapes into actions, like a pump stop or pump start, RADAR determines which events are typical and those that are unusual or abnormal and need urgent attention. This advanced level of intelligence empowers users to focus on the uncommon network events, saving time and money.
