Origin Orbit and Satellite Leak detection

Satellites and Leaking infrastructure. A problem with an out of this world solution.

Near Space Satellites and Leaking infrastructure.

Fresh water makes up only 3% of the water on Earth. Worryingly the average leakage worldwide from potable water networks is more than 30% of water produced, with some South American cities losing more than 60%.

Complex pipeline networks under the ground provide the mechanism by which water is transferred from raw water sources to treatment centres and ultimately to homes and businesses.

These pipes however are subject to numerous factors which can threaten their integrity:

Aging pipework, root growth, ground movement from natural causes, construction, or vehicle movements which will in time cause leaks which unmanaged ultimately become bursts.

Aside from the obvious financial cost, the cost of these leaks are numerous,

A loss in water pressure expends energy unnecessarily resulting in increased emissions

lost water compounds water shortages,

Continued leakage undermines building foundations, structural integrity of buildings and roads, and leaves assets exposed to unnecessary risk.

Leaks and breaks in pipework provide health and safety challenges where contaminants could potentially enter the potable water system.

Water networks work diligently to improve the situation but they only fix leaks they can see.

Satellite technology can form part of the solution.

Origin Orbit® from Origin Tech UK presents a new technology, with the power to determine underground leak locations from space, even when the leaked water does not break the surface.

Combining data from satellites that orbit the earth and powerful Artificial intelligence, and multifactor authentication Origin Orbit® can determine the location of a leak within circa 20m, and with an impressive rate of accuracy.

Combined with the Origin No Dig® system, we can locate and repair leaks same day*

We call this technology Origin Find and Fix®
