Introducing Smart to Challenging NetworksTom King
CwMAG 8th Annual Conference | AMP7: Future Modelling Challenges
Presentation Overview
- Why go smart?- Complex and challenging networks- Temporary smart networks- Adopting proven technology- Case studies- Benefits and outcomes- Future networks
2
- Measure smarter- Communicate better- Improve understanding- Analyse easier- Increase efficiency- Reduce loss- Invest wisely
3
Why Go Smart?
- Working restrictions- Access limits- Unknown connectivity- Multiple sources- Legacy assets- Multiple stakeholders- Constructability constraints
4
Complex and Challenging Networks
- Phased approach- Maximise exiting assets- Reduced CAPEX- Targeted approach- Proof of concept
5
Temporary Smart Networks
- GPRS Monitoring- Pressure- Ultrasonic flow monitoring- Real-time data review- Long battery life
- Deployment on existing assets- Long term monitoring
6
Adopting Proven Technology
- Sprinkler system investigation- DMA health assessments- Deployment of a temporary smart network
7
Case Studies
- Introducing smart monitoring- System previously unmonitored- Reduced time on site
8
Case Study – Sprinkler System Investigation
- Enhanced monitoring programme- More granular understanding- Demonstrable benefits- Reduced customer impact- Reduced CAPEX
9
Case Study – DMA Health Assessment
- Unmonitored fire main network- High static pressures- High demands >1000 l/s- Long term monitoring- Capture burst data for model calibration- GPRS pressure and flow logging- Status change alarms
10
Case Study – Deployment of a Temporary Smart Network
- Greater level of detail- Better informed decisions- Understand risks and opportunities- Smarter investment choices- Cross industry learning- Adopt best practice
