Satellite leak detection

Origin Orbit® from Origin Tech is changing the game in leak detection. Harnessing satellite technology and Artificial intelligence to solve the problem of leaking infrastructure.

For too long leaking infrastructure has blighted the water industry.

With regulatory pressure, environmental pressure and genuine water stress becoming issues globally the appetite to resolve leakage is on the uptick.

But repairing leaks is only part of the problem. Water follows its own path, and that path is often down, below ground and leaks are rarely visible.

Finding leaks has become the new challenge!

Traditional line walking methods won't cut it anymore, they are resource heavy, too slow, and outdated.

It's time for technology to step in.

Acoustic technology is great but is very equipment and labour intensive, and as a result costly and time consuming. The time is right for water networks to embrace Satellite technology.

Using satellites already orbiting the earth, and providers like Origin Orbit, water networks are able to survey large geographical areas, or specific high leakage locations, with high levels of accuracy. The data is fast, clean, and delivered in a user friendly platform. The infield team are able to feed back to the model in real time, training the AI model to become more and more accurate with time.

Origin Orbit® is up to 6x more effective at locating leaks than traditional methods, and significantly more cost efficient.
