WHY UTILITIES STRUGGLE WITH NRW

Leak detection is only as good as the network behind it.

Most utilities already collect the data needed to detect leaks.

The challenge is that the data rarely lives in one place.

Network models, SCADA systems, pressure sensors, flow meters and operational knowledge are often spread across different systems, teams and departments. Each provides part of the picture, but rarely the full story.

When visibility is limited, leak detection becomes harder.

  • False positives increase.

  • Blind spots remain hidden.

  • Field teams spend more time investigating and less time solving problems.

  • And opportunities to reduce NRW are missed.

The reality is simple: the better you understand your network, the better you can detect, locate and resolve water loss.

Better understanding creates better detection.

The best leak detection starts with understanding the network. Not just where water is flowing. But how infrastructure, sensors, operational data and hydraulic behaviour interact.

 

HULO continuously combines network models, sensor data and operational context into a living understanding of your network, turning raw signals into confident operational decisions.

HOW IT WORKS

Understand your network. Improve your network.

LEAK COCKPIT
KNOW YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE
Understand how assets, zones and pipelines interact across the network.

Visualise pipelines, assets, operational zones and their relationships to better understand how changes in one part of the network affect another.

Explore your network through an interactive digital twin that brings together physical assets, operational zones and live data. Navigate from a system-wide overview to individual assets with ease. Understand how infrastructure behaves as a connected system rather than as isolated components. Build a stronger foundation for operational planning, maintenance and investment decisions.

 

LEAK COCPIT
KNOW
YOUR DATA
Identify sensor quality issues, missing data and operational blind spots.

Reliable decisions start with reliable data. Continuously monitor sensor quality, identify missing or inconsistent measurements and resolve data issues before they impact operational awareness or detection performance.

Track data completeness, communication gaps and unusual sensor behaviour across your entire network. Quickly identify failing or underperforming sensors before they create blind spots or false conclusions. 

OPERATIONS
KNOW YOUR OPERATIONS
See what is happening across
the network in real time.

Monitor your network as it operates in real time. Follow incidents, live sensor readings and operational KPIs from a single workspace, giving operators and field teams a shared view of what's happening across the network.

Stay informed with live operational dashboards, interactive maps and continuously updated performance metrics. Monitor incidents as they develop and understand their operational impact immediately. Coordinate teams using a shared operational picture instead of disconnected systems. Turn information into action while events are still unfolding.

LEAK COCPIT
KNOW WHERE TO ACT
Prioritise leaks, anomalies and operational issues based on impact.

Not every incident requires the same response. Prioritise leaks, anomalies and operational issues based on their likely impact, available evidence and network context, helping teams focus where they create the greatest value.

Review every event with supporting evidence, historical context and hydraulic intelligence before dispatching field crews. Separate high-impact incidents from operational noise and focus resources where they deliver the greatest benefit. Reduce unnecessary investigations while improving response times and operational efficiency. Make confident decisions based on context, not assumptions.

HYDROLICS
LIVE HYDRAULIC MODELLING
Continuously update hydraulic models with live operational data.

Static hydraulic models are valuable, but water networks are constantly changing. HULO continuously combines hydraulic models, live telemetry and AI to maintain an up-to-date operational understanding of your network.

As conditions evolve, HULO adapts its understanding automatically, providing the context needed to detect leaks earlier, explain anomalies and prioritise operational issues with confidence. Every alert is supported by hydraulic intelligence, not just sensor data.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Water networks are being asked to do more, with less, for longer.

Demand is rising. Infrastructure is ageing. Skilled operators are harder to find. Regulators are tightening. And the data that should help is scattered across systems that were never designed to work together.

HULO was built for this reality. A continuously improving operational platform that connects data, models and people into one shared understanding of the network. Giving operators, field crews and managers the information they need to make better decisions every day.

Questions, answered

What utilities actually
ask about HULO

If your question is not here, our team is one click away.

How does HULO detect leaks without additional hardware?

HULO uses data that already exists within your network, including flow, pressure, and hydraulic models. Our AI continuously analyses this information to detect, classify, size, and localize leaks in real time.
Why doesn't HULO require DMAs?

Traditional leak detection often depends on District Metered Areas to narrow down potential leak locations. HULO takes a different approach.

By combining AI and hydraulic modelling, we provide network wide visibility without requiring costly network segmentation projects.
How fast can HULO find a leak?

Many utilities discover leaks months after they appear.

HULO continuously monitors the network and identifies anomalies as they emerge, allowing operators to investigate and act before small problems become major losses.
What makes HULO different from acoustic leak detection?

Acoustic technologies are highly effective at confirming leak locations in the field.

HULO operates at a different level. We help utilities identify where attention is needed across the entire network, making field operations faster and more targeted.
Can HULO work alongside existing leak detection solutions?

Absolutely.

Many utilities use HULO together with acoustic systems, correlators, satellite technologies, and DMA strategies. HULO provides the intelligence layer that helps prioritize where those tools create the most value.
What kind of water savings can utilities expect?

Every network is different.

The biggest impact often comes from finding leaks earlier, reducing water loss, lowering operational costs, and improving maintenance prioritization before issues escalate.
How accurate is HULO?

Our platform combines artificial intelligence with hydraulic network physics.

This allows us to move beyond simple anomaly detection and provide actionable insights that utility teams can confidently investigate.
Is HULO a black box AI solution?

No.

We believe utilities should understand why a recommendation is made. HULO combines data science with physical network behaviour to provide transparent and explainable insights.
How long does implementation take?

Because we work with existing data sources, implementation is significantly faster than projects requiring new hardware installation.

Most utilities can begin generating value far sooner than traditional infrastructure based approaches.
Can HULO help with more than leakage?

Yes.

Leaks are often symptoms of broader network behaviour. HULO also helps identify pressure anomalies, operational irregularities, and patterns that support smarter network management.
If we already have DMAs, why would we need HULO? DMAs provide valuable information. HULO helps utilities get even more value from that information by adding intelligence, context, and network wide visibility.
Do I need more data to start using HULO?

Probably not.

Many utilities already collect the data required to uncover hidden insights. The challenge is rarely data availability. It's turning that data into action.
Why are utilities still losing so much water?

Because finding leaks is only part of the challenge.

The real challenge is knowing where to look, when to act, and how to prioritize resources across an entire network. That's where intelligence changes the game.
Does HULO require additional sensors?

No. HULO is designed to work with the data utilities already collect. Additional sensors can improve visibility, but they are not required to start generating value.
Why doesn't HULO require DMAs? Traditional leak detection often depends on highly segmented networks. HULO combines hydraulic models, existing sensors and AI, making extensive DMA restructuring unnecessary in many situations.
How quickly can HULO find a leak? Detection speed depends on the network and available data, but HULO continuously monitors network behaviour and alerts operators as soon as significant anomalies are identified.
Will HULO work with my existing infrastructure? Yes. HULO integrates with existing SCADA, GIS, pressure and flow data, hydraulic models and other operational systems.
What makes HULO different? HULO doesn't rely on a single detection technique. It combines hydraulic modelling, live telemetry and AI into a continuously improving operational intelligence platform.
