USA Update
JD7 partners Wachs Water Services continue to win awards in the USA region. WWS are currently completing several projects across the USA using the JD7 technology.
Philippines and Middle East companies tap into hi-tech equipment for operations
Water companies in the Philippines and Middle East are tapping into the JD7 “Investigator” to survey their distribution system.
The “Investigator” is a CCTV acoustic leak detection system from the United Kingdom that enables pressurised pipe inspection of 500mm and smaller diameter of pipes without interrupting water service. The device can even be launched through fire hydrants, pressure fittings, air valves, and gate valves.
Aside from making investigations without service interruption possible, the “Investigator” lessens traffic obstruction by minimizing road excavations necessary to check the pipes. The device’s system camera, hydrophone and sonde technology detect the actual location of the leak from the surface and marks it for repair. It also enables overall pipe condition assessment; help trace illegal connections, unknown pipes, and possible sources of water quality issues.

JD7 in Athens
JD7 have recently finished a project for EYDAP Water in Athens Greece. 15km of transmission mains were surveyed in the city centre which proved challenging due to the busy city and narrow streets.
The surveys were possible due to the portable JD7 LDS1000 system that is battery driven and can conduct several Km of survey on a single charge – another benefit was the silent running of the technology enabling work to be conducted in the early hours.
The LDS1000 with its high quality camera and acoustics found several leaks all of which were excavated and confirmed on the day where the location was very accurately confirmed by the powerful sonde located in the camera & acoustic head ensuring minimal excavation size.
