Challenge
A holiday park operator faced escalating water bills across their extensive network of properties. The unique nature of these sites, often resembling mini-cities with complex infrastructure, made identifying and addressing water loss a significant challenge. The company sought a partner to conduct comprehensive water audits and leak investigations to reduce consumption and costs.
Solution
Aqua Analytics was engaged in a long-term assignment to tackle the water loss issue. Leveraging a multi-disciplinary approach, Aqua Analytics deployed a team of skilled technicians, plumbers, and data analysts to undertake:
- Comprehensive Water Audits: Detailed water audits were conducted at each holiday park, encompassing a thorough review of historical water consumption data, analysis of billing information, and site-specific assessments of infrastructure and usage patterns.
- Targeted Leak Detection: Aqua Analytics' technicians utilised advanced leak detection technologies, including acoustic listening devices and correlation logging, to pinpoint visible and hidden leaks within the complex network of pipes and fixtures.
- Data-Driven Analysis: The collected data was analysed to identify trends, anomalies, and potential areas for improvement in water management practices. This analysis provided actionable insights for the client to implement targeted solutions.
- Repairs and Recommendations: Aqua Analytics identified leaks, worked with the client to implement repairs, and provided recommendations for long-term water conservation strategies.
Results
- Significant Reduction in Water Consumption: Aqua Analytics' efforts led to a substantial decrease in water consumption across the network of holiday parks, resulting in considerable cost savings for the client.
- Identification of Major Leaks: Multiple large, below-ground leaks were discovered, some of which had contributed to significant water loss for extended periods.
- Improved Asset Management: The detailed audits and investigations gave the client a better understanding of their water infrastructure, enabling them to prioritise maintenance and upgrades for optimal efficiency.
- Sustainable Practices: By reducing water waste, the project contributed to the client's sustainability goals and demonstrated their commitment to responsible resource management.
Client Benefits
- Financial Savings: The substantial reduction in water consumption translated into immediate and ongoing cost savings for the client.
- Operational Efficiency: Aqua Analytics improved the holiday parks' overall operational efficiency by addressing leaks and optimising water management practices.
- Environmental Stewardship: The project's focus on water conservation aligned with the client's commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability.
