Some of the Woes of the Modern Water Company (Dirty Water)

Compliance with the Revised Bathing Waters Directive

Corporate Manslaughter Legislation – Reducing Risk to Staff

Corporate & Social Responsibility:-

Business Continuity Planning

Caring for the Environment EMS - (ISO14001)

Politically Motivated Economic Targets



Bathing Water Directive Compliance Requires

Increased Measurement & Reporting

Proactive Reduction in Pollution Incidents



Helping to Reduce Risk to Staff

Reducing and Eliminating Confined Space Entry



Corporate & Social Responsibility

Improved Business Continuity Planning

Reducing Whole of Life Costs

Caring for the Environment

Reducing Compensation Payments

---------

Provide Tools for Proactive Pollution Mitigation



Meeting the Increased Measurement Challenges

Cellular Networks never designed to work underground

Network Coverage Vary by the Minute

Many Locations Without Coverage

Safety - Precludes Modifying Manhole Covers

Assess Restrictions – Confined Space Entry for Installation

Private Wire & PSTN Being Replaced with FibreExpensive to Install and Operate



Business Continuity G2..G3..G4...G5?

G2 is Becoming Obsolete, G3?

Network Outages

Network Maintenance

Cyber Attacks of DOS attacks

Internet Crashing

3rd Party Hosts Failing

Interposing Server Failure



Business Continuity – Communications (cont)

M2M a Failed Business Model

Revenue Comes from PeopleStreaming, Gaming,Downloads etc..

Operator Mergers Masts RemovedMasts Shared

Lack of SLAs

Reality is the M2M is of Little Interest to Mobile Operators



“The Innovation Begins Here and Never Stops”



The Low Cost BDT Blocked Sewer Detection Transducer

Transmitter

Dielectric Probe

Cable Adjustment



Another Example of Low Cost Technology the FDT

Transmitter

Accelerometer Probe

Cable Adjustment



Event Duration is controlled by BDT – Level as 4-20mA Signal into Telemetry

Best of Both Worlds The Hybrid = Ultrasonic + BDT or FDT



How We Achieve Reliable Communications



Ultimate Caring for the Environment

This is what Real Time Data Can Deliver!



Another Example of Environmental Protection



Summary:

Improved Measurement & Delivery of Data

Ability to Install Almost Anywhere

Security of Independence from Mobile Networks

Eliminated Confined Space Entry

Simple Integrated – Uses Existing Telemetry

Reduced Cost:Longer Battery LifeSimple to Install – No Field ProgrammingSimple to Maintain

Proactive Incident Mitigation D A M



Other Areas of Co-operation:
