ATLANTA, July 11, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Echologics will help PUB (Singapore) to assess the
condition of its water transmission mains with
Echologics' acoustic pipe
Condition Assessment service. A division of Mueller Co.,
Echologics is a developer and leading provider of
acoustic-based technologies for water loss management, leak
detection, and pipe condition assessment.
PUB is Singapore's national water agency that manages
Singapore's water supply, water catchment and used water
in an integrated way. It is a statutory board under the
Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources.
Echologics was selected as its technology was able to meet
PUB's requirements to assess the condition of some of the
older transmission mains in its service area and provide
information which can be used as part of its ongoing asset
management strategy.
Echologics will acoustically survey approximately 1.6 km of
cast iron and steel water transmission mains (which range
from 500mm-800mm in diameter) in the PUB's service area
to non-invasively detect leaks and measure the mains'
effective wall thickness. By obtaining these measurements
non-invasively, Echologics can help the PUB to obtain further
information to help develop future rehabilitation programs
for some of its key assets.
Echologics pioneered the development of a proprietary,
acoustic-based system that non-invasively locates leaks and
assesses the structural condition of both water and force
mains. Transmission Main Leak Detection from Echologics is
unique in that it can non-invasively detect and pinpoint
leaks over considerable distances without disrupting water
service or requiring specialized ports, closure of service
laterals or flow alterations.
Water service providers across North America and in Europe,
South Africa, Asia and Australia have leveraged
Echologics' technology to prioritize pipeline
rehabilitation and replacement plans, and reduce water loss
on all classes of pipes, for diameters ranging from 4"
to 108".
Echologics and Mueller Co. are subsidiaries of Mueller Water
Products, Inc. (NYSE:MWA), a leading North American
manufacturer and marketer of products and services that are
used in the transmission, distribution and measurement of
water.
