The new device "leak detector" Aguas de Lorca has allowed 589 troubleshoot faults in the supply network during this year (07/11/2016)

The extension of the network of water supply exceeds 1,100 kilometers.

The device checks the condition of the pipes in real time, increasing security and optimizing responsiveness.

Water Councilman City of Lorca, Angel Mecca, next to the Manager of Aguas de Lorca (ADL), Francisco Quesada, reported that AdL has implemented a system of remote control and remote counters sectors that lets you know at all times what happens on the network and control it centrally, so that real-time can know what is happening at any point in the network and act on the different incidents that may affect safety and water safety.

To this are available remote stations 129 approximately 6,500 emitting control signals.

In order to achieve efficient management, control and reduce water losses, the drinking water is sectioned in various hydraulic parts and hydraulic microsectors, about 130 in total.

These sectors are monitored daily by meters or flow meters that measure flow volumes and distributed.

The sectors are continuously analyzed, sometimes they detected values ​​indicating the existence of anomalies in the distribution network.

external or internal warnings about incidents are also received in the distribution network (leaks, no visible damage localized, etc.) that require the services expert teams leak detection and location immediate action.

In the months until September 2016, the leak search service has allowed the detection of faults in total 589, of which 38% were found to be faults in the network and the remaining 62% in the residential connections.

In the same period last year some 388 2015 breakdowns, 40% damage to the network and the remaining 60% in the residential connections were detected, so there has been an increase of detected faults around 50%.

To total faults repaired the same period of 2016, some 1,884, detected by leak detection equipment represent almost 33%, so that 1 in 3 fault is detected by these teams.

In addition, in recent years they have carried out work to detect any anomaly in real time in the supply network and have also replaced a lot of valves to improve, expand and sectorizar network.

22,789 connections in a network of 1,160 kilometers.

Water Councilman explained that in our municipal drinking water is supplied about 92 718 inhabitants.

The domestic distribution network of drinking water is composed of pipes of different materials and diameters with a total length of 1,160 km and 22,798 connections to buildings.

Mecca Angel explained that from Aguas de Lorca is still committed to the culture of excellence and quality based on continuous improvement, both in the operative part, and the incorporation of new technologies and methodologies, to ensure improvements in production and water security distributed throughout the population processes.

On numerous occasions, the anomalies are the result of leaks and breakdowns in the distribution network, which must be identified and located.

The company has to carry out these works leak detection and location, adequate means, both human and material.

The work of finding leaks that Aguas de Lorca performed daily include reviewing the flows recorded by accountants to detect areas with abnormally high consumption, and the review teams leak location (correlators and geophones mainly) network supply the town and districts of the municipality of those areas in which a variation of the supplied average flows and / or night minimum flows occur.

conducting systematic leak detection campaigns it is further contemplated by acoustic revision of the network through correlators and geophones from the parties of scheduled maintenance.
