Tidewell clips acoustic sensors onto hydrants and valves, listens to your water network between 2 and 4 a.m., and tells your crew exactly where to dig.
Tap any sensor on the map, then press play to hear what it heard.
// The problem
Utilities find leaks the slow way: a technician with headphones walking the network, or waiting for a customer to report water in the street. By then the main has usually failed.
Illustrative comparison.
// How it works
Magnetic sensors mount to hydrants and valves in about four minutes. No digging, no shutdowns, no road closures.
Between 2 and 4 a.m., when demand is lowest, each sensor records the network. Our model separates leak hiss from pumps, traffic and meters.
By correlating the same sound at two sensors, Tidewell places the leak on the map and creates a work order with the exact location.
// Savings
Illustrative model assuming 35% of leakage is recovered. Not a quote.
