UDLive Wins Award for Best Supplier and End-User Partnership at WWEM 2022

UDlive has developed the CatsEye II Pixel, a robust, IP68, low-cost radar water level sensor for below and above ground use. Typically, the device is installed under manholes to monitor level and flow in sewers.  

Thousands of the instruments have been supplied to water companies and there are two main reasons for this success. Firstly, they are able to measure depth over a range of up to 7.5 metres, and secondly, the challenges of communicating with instrumentation inside a manhole have been largely overcome.  

Simple to install in less than ten minutes, the CatsEye II Pixel has been designed to run with a low power requirement and has a typical battery life of over seven years with normal use. 

UDlive is also working with Public Sewer Services; one of the key partners in the Anglian Water WRN (Water Recycling Networks) Alliance. The WRN manages the maintenance and repair of the Anglian Water sewage network. This includes the inspection, jetting, rodding and cleaning of pipes to keep services flowing, as well as proactive and emergency work on sewer blockages and repairs. The Alliance is also involved in larger infrastructure projects such as sewer and rising main repairs, manhole refurbishment and replacements, manhole chamber replacements and interceptor removal flooding mitigation. 

UDlive’s role in the partnership is to develop remote continuous level and flow monitoring solutions for sewers. These monitors provide new levels of visibility; enabling higher levels of efficiency in sewer network management and asset maintenance work. For example, with the benefit of this data, Alliance partners are able to detect and resolve problems before they affect customers. 

In 2024, WWEM will return bigger and better, graduating to the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham. For information on exhibiting at WWEM 2024, click here.
