Improving Water Management Supply and Distribution
At Crowder Consulting, we specialise in providing comprehensive meter verification services to water operators, a crucial aspect of managing the efficient supply and distribution of water to customers. We know how important accurate flow measurements through bulk meters are for effective production and demand planning, as well as for operational efficiency and managing leakage and demand in District Areas (DMAs).
Our Approach to Meter Verification
At Crowder Consulting, we take a meticulous approach to meter verification, employing various techniques and analyses to ensure the accuracy and reliability of flow measurements.
Our process includes:
- Balancing meter and demand areas: We analyse meter and demand area balances in the upstream supply network to identify potential meter errors through discrepancies in data.
- Integrated water balance and leakage analysis: Our experts assess the integrated water balance and leakage in DMAs to determine operability and potential meter inaccuracies.
- Historical data examination: We explore historically monitored flow and pressure data from meters to obtain additional evidence of potential errors and discrepancies.
- Maintenance checks: Collaborating closely with water network operators, we ensure that standard maintenance checks on meters are conducted regularly to maintain accuracy.
- Ultrasonic clamp-on meters: For meters suspected of errors, we identify suitable locations for installing temporary ultrasonic clamp-on meters, which allow us to cross-verify flow measurements for accuracy.
