At FCS, we understand the importance of effective network monitoring and have developed an innovative range of level, flow, and data logging solutions to support you in maintaining your sewer system.
An effective, smooth-running wastewater network is a critical piece of infrastructure, and utilities invest heavily to ensure their collection systems function efficiently. However, while great strides are being made, challenges such as climate change and population growth are impacting the ability of sewer systems to function successfully.
Climate change will significantly alter weather systems, and already stretched networks will be expected to handle greater intensities of rainfall more frequently. If the sewers are unable to cope, the risk of flooding will grow considerably.
Flooding, infiltration, and inflow present significant challenges for utility companies managing water and wastewater systems. Flooding can overwhelm infrastructure, causing extensive damage and service interruptions. Infiltration, where groundwater enters sewer systems through cracks and leaks, and inflow, where stormwater enters through improper connections, increases the volume of water needing treatment, straining capacity and leading to potential overflows. To mitigate these issues, utility companies employ flow and level monitoring systems, like RadarSens.
These advanced technologies provide real-time data on water levels and flow rates, allowing for prompt identification of abnormalities. By monitoring these metrics, utilities can optimize system performance, prevent overloading, and prioritize maintenance efforts, ensuring reliable service and protecting public health and the environment.
