See proces progressions and milestones on this roadmap for the full-scale implementation of Non-revenue water solutions in the LEAKman project.
LEAKman project kick off
1. January 2016
Nine Danish partners form a consortium with the objective to demonstrate Danish leakage management solutions. The LEAKman project will utilize Danish technologies and know-how creating integrated high-end solutions for utility companies world-wide. The nine partners…
Read moreSetting up demonstration areas
1. March 2016
Novafos and HOFOR – two major water suppliers in Denmark – are partners in the LEAKman project. Each company has designated two districts to be full-scale demonstration areas. They are now transformed into state-of-the-art water…
Read moreIntegrating systems and interfaces
1. April 2016
In the demonstration areas designated by the utility companies HOFOR and Novafos, technicians at NIRAS and the technology providers are now working to establish seamless and generic interfaces between components and systems – all of…
Read moreNoise logger implementation
1. December 2016
During 2017 noise loggers are implemented across the four demonstration areas. When completed, the demonstration areas will be covered with 400 permanently deployed loggers which enable wireless reporting of possible leaks based on sound detection….
Read moreSmart meter installation
1. March 2017
From the fall of 2017 and during 2018 a total of 5,100 smart meters are installed at end-users within the four demonstration areas. This means no more manual meter readings and no more time-consuming follow-ups…
Read moreAntenna sites
1. July 2017
A fixed network with antennas and concentrators combined with smart meters from Kamstrup at all end-user connections enables the utility companies to monitor consumption as well as water balance continuously and on an hourly basis.
Read moreHOMIS – Management information system
1. July 2018
The management information system HOMIS, developed by the LEAKman partner NIRAS, is now providing access to updated and validated data for online monitoring of relevant Key Performance Indicators across the four designated demonstration facilities. Utilities…
Read morePhD project: Datadriven knowledge
1. August 2018
PhD fellow Jonas Kirstein commence his project called “Optimized water distribution using high-resolution data sources and novel data analysis methods”. Among other things, Jonas examines how more data driven knowledge could be an important tool…
Read moreAquis online modelling
1. September 2018
An online hydraulic overview for each of the four demonstration areas is established. This is due to a combination of data from the SCADA system, pressure sensors and noise loggers with a hydraulic model of…
Read moreOptimising pressure with intelligent valves
1. November 2018
In fall 2018 intelligent valves for pressure reduction will be implemented in two of the designated demonstration areas. The feasibility studies have shown pressure reduction potentials of 35 pct. in Klampenborg DMA and 30 pct….
Read moreOptimising pressure with intelligent pumps
1. January 2019
Intelligent pumps are utilised to manage the pressure in the demonstration areas. Pressure is continuously minimised in the water network on DMA-level (District Metering Area) whilst ensuring the minimum required pressure at all end-users. Operating…
Read moreOperation and maintenance of demonstration facilities
2. January 2019
Novafos and HOFOR staff will optimize leakage levels in the demonstration areas now covered by LEAKman high-end technologies. The areas will also be used as innovation-labs for tests and analysis of different leakage management solutions…
Read moreWater balance reporting and monitoring
1. March 2019
The combination of smart meters and water balance reporting on DMAs enables leakage teams to react quickly and efficiently and target the weakest areas and pipeline segments .
Read moreLEAKman evaluation
30. June 2021
The LEAKman project establishes guidelines for selecting the proper tools and techniques to be implemented at any water utilities world-wide. The goal is to reduce Non-Revenue Water levels to a specific target level depending on…
