Case Studies

Discover how Detectronic is supporting a major UK airport in enhancing the accuracy of their surface water models through a 12-month flow survey. Using advanced flow meters, alarms, and raingauges, we’re providing precise data that enables continuous model verification and improved water management. Read the full case study to learn more about our ongoing project and how we’re helping the airport achieve regulatory compliance and effective water management strategies.

A UK water utility was looking to reduce sewer flooding and pollution events by monitoring known areas prone to incidents.

Three years ago, Detectronic replaced an AV doppler sensor for a Basel-based client that had been in place for 10 years, but was susceptible to ragging. The sensor had been successfully used to monitor wastewater leaving the client’s chemical factory […]

Detectronic were commissioned to undertake a flow survey within two neighbouring residential housing developments in Yorkshire, UK. The monitoring catchment area features a housing development which is bordered by a main road to the east. There is a commercial development […]

As part of the development of a large area of the University’s campus to create additional student accommodation, the University’s Flood Management Centre asked contractors to incorporate a SuDS scheme for the site.

Temporary flow monitoring was required at several sites following a blow-out of mine water

We helped a channel partner provide a smart sewer network sensor to monitor levels under challenging conditions

A bakery was experiencing historic problems with consent on one of the two trade effluent channels on site and the local water authority was threatening legal action.

The Aeris Fusion IoT Network provides Detectronic with performance-optimised coverage from 600 carriers in 190 countries and end-to-end visibility and control over its entire connected operation.

We were commissioned by a UK Water Company to investigate infiltration and inflow entering the waste water sewer network.

The team here at Detectronic are supporting a leading UK bakery with its asset performance management.

We were commissioned to implement a flow survey at a housing development site

We designed and installed a primary flow structure to measure upland surface water runoff in Exmoor

We redesigned the approach channel flow straightener/baffle plate to accommodate the short approach length and improve normal velocity distribution

The community of Sonnen in Germany was having issues measuring flow rates with existing equipment. We installed an ORAKEL non contact flow meter.

Commissioning a wastewater monitoring programme can be a significant investment and a long term project. We help water companies choose the right budget model for them.

A holiday park investing millions in a series of developments asked us to carry out two flow surveys to understand the hydrology of the site.

Following increases in production, a large pharmaceutical company in the UK was at risk of exceeding its limit for flow rate, daily volume and COD discharges.

Foul water drainage network monitoring will assess the site’s existing hydraulic model.

When a brewery asked a contractor to help them better understand their sewer network, they contacted us to help us with the technology and equipment for the monitoring project.

Twenty years after our first shipment of monitoring equipment for the sewage system to Vauxhall Motors, we have a maintenance contract to monitor ongoing wastewater monitoring.

With the highly accurate hydraulic data and analysis that our monitors, rain gauges and data centre can deliver, we can ensure all existing and future sustainable drainage systems can be successfully monitored to be both reliable and effective.

A Detectronic ultrasonic clamp-on flowmeter installed at a food processing facility more than two decades ago has more than exceeded its life expectancy and has just been replaced with the new ORAKEL Time of Flight Monitor.

As part of its ongoing programme to prevent flooding and surcharging of manhole chambers, Sedgemoor Council has asked us to conduct a telemetry project to monitor the levels at various sites.

Since 2010, we have been delivering, installing and servicing sewer trench water levels and flow switches for Severn Trent Water. A three year extension to this contract has strengthened this relationship.

Detectronic and Northumbrian Water have been working together for three decades, including collaborating on a trunk sewer project on Manly Beach, Australia.

We have been monitoring wastewater trade for a large poultry processor in the UK to help them better understand the impact of increased production on their trade effluent.

Detectronic has specified and installed an area velocity flow meter to ensure accurate and cost-effective wastewater monitoring in a pea processing facility in the UK.

When a brewery asked a contractor to help them better understand their sewer network, they contacted us to help us with the technology and equipment for the monitoring project.
