Pipes are highly sensitive to pressure, especially if they are not in good condition and already prone to bursts. A small reduction in the maximum pressure can have a big impact on burst frequency. Large, rapid changes in pressure can also significantly increase the risk of bursts.

i2O’s Advanced Pressure Management solution reduces water burst frequency as much as 40%. Because your networks’ pressure is continuously optimised, peak pressures are lowered. And because pressure changes are made more smoothly, you protect the pipes and joints from surges.

Our CTO Andrew Burrows describes how i2O’s solutions help water companies minimise water leakage:

Advanced Pressure Management from i2O has helped water companies to reduce the frequency of water bursts by 40%. Advanced Pump Control optimises pressure in the network by continuously and automatically adjusting pump output pressures to give the minimum pressure at the critical point. Advanced Pressure Management works in a similar way by continuously and automatically adjusting the PRV outlet pressure.

Many water companies around the world have used i2O solutions to reduce their water burst frequency. Read some of their stories.
