New technologies for the search and repair of water leaks

Real-time monitoring, dynamic predictions, AI-augmented mobile teams, correlating acoustic sensors and modelling algorithms allow us to build a true digital twin of networks in order to find and repair leaks quickly and effectively preserve water resources.

Finding and repairing water leaks requires a proactive approach and advanced technologies.


The sectorisation of networks, real-time knowledge of consumption, and continuous monitoring of networks make it possible to detect, locate and repair leaks as soon as they appear, thus avoiding loss and damage. A dynamic weekly prediction of leaks on a territorial scale, based on artificial intelligence, guides field inspections, district by district, street by street.


We deploy mobile teams, equipped with complete state-of-the-art listening kits, for rapid intervention. Acoustic technologies are integrated into networks as needed, while the use of inert tracer gases such as helium or hydrogen makes it possible to detect leaks in networks where acoustics is ineffective.


Understanding the characteristics of your territory and determining multi-year trends is essential.


By anticipating the evolution of leaks year by year thanks to advanced algorithms combining artificial intelligence and business expertise, we can optimise the management of your assets and the hydraulics of your networks. This new data allows us to create a true digital twin of networks to target searches, improve operator efficiency, and increase network performance.


Smart alarms and correlations are used to flag and pinpoint anomalies, while consolidated indicators provide a bird's-eye view of network operation to prioritize our interventions.


Thus, thanks to these innovative and integrated approaches, the search for and repair of water leaks is optimised, ensuring the preservation of water resources and a better performance of the distribution network.

Frequently Asked Questions

A water leak emits noise that is transmitted through the water and pipes. In order to search for leaks, we use mobile or continuously attached acoustic sensors to listen to the networks. These technologies make it possible to precisely locate the source of the noise and quickly find the leaks that are causing it.

When we are the delegated operator of the water service, it is our teams who intervene to find the leak and repair the damaged pipe.

By anticipating the evolution of leaks year by year thanks to advanced algorithms combining artificial intelligence and business expertise, we can optimise asset management and network hydraulics in order to target fragile sectors and anticipate their failure.

Our offer, relating to the search for and repair of pipe leaks, combines new sensor, analysis, simulation and artificial intelligence technologies.

This set of techniques makes it possible to build a true digital twin, a service capable of predicting the evolution of networks and optimising interventions in order to reduce water losses.
