New UK partnership will deploy over 90,000 sewer monitors to improve system resilience
Netmore Group has entered into a partnership with Detectronic, a UK-based environmental and engineering company with a focus on helping utilities and industrial clients prevent flooding and reduce pollution.
Detectronic has begun rolling out more than 90,000 sewer monitors across Yorkshire Water’s wastewater network as part of a major sewer network telemetry program. Over the next five years, 65,000 Pressure Alarm (PAL) sensors and 27,000 LIDoTT Alarms will be installed, creating one of the world's most comprehensive monitoring networks.
The collaboration will leverage the LoRaWAN network being implemented by Netmore to support Yorkshire Water’s 1.3 million smart meter exchange project within which Netmore is deploying and densifying regional network coverage to satisfy service levels required for Yorkshire Water to achieve targeted service improvements.
This same regional advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) network, deployed and managed by Netmore, will be used to connect Detectronic’s PAL sensor, the company’s first LoRaWAN-enabled product designed as a domestic sewer alarm with smart connectivity for residential gullies and shallow chambers. This innovative sensor ensures long-range, battery-operated communication, delivering highly accurate data to support Yorkshire Water’s environmental and operational goals.
“We are excited to partner with Detectronic to help ensure reliable wastewater monitoring that aligns with Yorkshire Water’s commitment to environmental stewardship,” said Vadim Lyu, UK Managing Director at Netmore. “This partnership underscores our dedication to innovation and sustainability in the water industry and provides a powerful example of how a network deployed for an anchor use case like smart metering can be used to support numerous water management applications to meet the evolving needs of utilities and communities.”
"The PAL sensor marks the beginning of our roadmap to develop more LoRaWAN-compatible devices that enable long-range communication for battery-operated monitoring solutions,” added Gavin Wagstaff, Product & Data Director at Detectronic.
