Vitens ‘Transient monitoring investigations’
Vitens implemented a pilot project on the impact of pressure transient monitoring
Las Vegas Valley Water District's use of PIPEMINDER-S resulted in a 50% reduction in the magnitude of transients.
Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD) experienced three line breaks in close proximity and installed PIPEMINDER-S devices to understand why.
Data collected from PIPEMINDER-S sensors and analyzed in Syrinix's RADAR cloud platform revealed LVVWD was experiencing harmful transients, with ranges exceeding 300 psi: twice that of the PVC pipeline's maximum pressure rating of 150 psi. When this transient data was overlaid with utility SCADA system data, it was clear that the transient activity correlated with valve operation activity within the network.
The visibility of this information meant LVVWD could make changes to their valve operations. This calmed the network, mitigated the risk of further breaks, and prolonged the life of their main.
