Wireless, in-line and neutral buoyancy technology for water leak detection in large diameter pipes

Evaluation, detection, and leak prevention

Nautilus is an advanced acoustic system that travels through the water network at the center of the pipe, verifying its current condition and detecting leaks and anomalies, offering valuable information for the decision-making process. Inspecting the water supply network frequently with Nautilus provides information on how its condition evolves over time, allowing you to optimize your asset management.

The system consists of a sphere that is introduced in the pipe without interrupting the service at any time. Pushed by the flowing water, the sphere travels freely, recording acoustic information along the entire network being inspected. Upon extraction, the data is analyzed and allows identifying any leaks starting at 0.005 liters per second, as well as air pockets and anomalies and their exact location.
