Optimizing Pressure Transient Monitoring With Data-Driven Monitor Placement.
A utility should be the first to know about the events on its water network. Syrinix lets you know where a problem has happened - a burst, an unknown asset anomaly - when it happens.
With customised alerts and cloud-based access, valuable network information is delivered with confidence.

We provide a combination of network monitoring equipment with a cloud-based data platform and advisory analysis and management services.
Syrinix solutions identify issues on water networks, enabling utilities to reduce failures and extend asset life.

At Evides Waterbedrijf, following the deployment of transient monitoring sensors within a district metered area (DMA), bursts of varying flow rates were simulated at multiple hydrant locations.
A pressure wave from a burst travels around the DMA and is detected by multiple PIPEMINDER devices which are time-synchronised (to within +/- 50 milliseconds) and transfer high sample rate data over the cellular network to RADAR, Syrinix’s cloud-based data analytics platform.
Collectively, the devices utilise the onset of the pressure waves and RADAR runs an automatic triangulation algorithm to calculate the location of the burst.
All this can happen in a five-minute time-span. The customer is alerted and knows immediately where to send field crews.
With a ring main loop of transmission mains of approx. 200 miles serving 850k end users, Cobb County Marietta Water Authority had suffered several sudden 6-12” tapping saddle failures.
Each of these events created an orifice flow condition that limited the leak rate to that of flow, meaning large scale leaks were not detected.
Following the installation of PIPEMINDER devices, over a six month period, Syrinix alerted the utility to several abnormal events, meaning that better planning and more informed asset repair and management decisions could be taken.

Anglian Water generate workable data and cost savings on rising mains
A pilot project was implemented to discover how pressure transient monitoring could be used to localise network events.
