Yorkshire Water in collaboration with Stantec has won an award for the UK's most advanced smart network, which brings together leading technology and telecommunication providers to revolutionise the way water leaks and interruptions to supply are managed.
Yorkshire Water’s Hadfield smart water network pilot was awarded Utility Week’s Innovation Award 2020, with judges praising ‘the scope and ambition’ of the winning entry, “which showed a pioneering application of digital twin technology at impressive scale.”
The pilot is reducing the amount of water lost to leaks and the likelihood of bursts on the network.
Sam Bright, innovation programme manager at Yorkshire Water said, “We’re thrilled that the smart network pilot has been recognised in this way. It is thanks to the contributions of all 18 partners that we have been able to push boundaries and achieve the promising results that we have done so far.
“We’re looking forward to continuing to innovate and learn more within our pilot area, and to start to translate these lessons into delivering value for all our customers.”
The pilot is run by Yorkshire Water in collaboration with Stantec and 17 other partners, including Itron, Sensus, Arqiva, HWM, ATi, Inflowmatix, Syrinix, Invenio, Ovarro, Temetra, Technolog, Gutermann, Elster (Honeywell), BT, MUS, Connexin and Xylem.
