MAIN FEATURE


Jet Aire


Manager of Jet Aire and he agreed the sewer network across the UK needs significant investment. He felt this was obvious to all based on the public, regulatory and political focus on the environmental outcomes resulting from network failure. “Importantly, we must make the right investments in the network to tackle true root cause issues and not the symptoms.”


“Current approaches using smart networks are reactive, based on detecting rising water levels in sewers to estimate where blockages might be. However, it is often too late to allow maintenance teams to locate and clear the blockage before flooding occurs. Jet Aire has been named one of the winning partners in the Ofwat Breakthrough Innovation Challenge for its participation in a research project to develop the world’s first blockage clearing pipebots, which makes this process proactive.”


Working with Northumbrian Water, the University of Sheffield, as well as a number of other universities, WASCs and suppliers, the Ofwat project aims to find a way to proactively detect build-ups before they become a blockage, eradicating spills and sewer flooding and its devastating impact on customers.


As Dean continued: “We are very excited
