Detecting Leaks in SES Water’s System
Mainline Pressure Monitoring for Early Leak Detection

Business Challenges
Limited visibility into small pressure fluctuations across the network.
Manual or delayed detection of pressure drops indicating leaks.
Need to integrate third-party data into existing monitoring platform.

Keys to Success
Battery-powered Hawk loggers delivering up to six years' operation.
Custom push-fit pressure sensors ensuring infrastructure compatibility and reliability.
Real-time HTTPS integration between Ubidots and existing data platform.

Results
Continuous monitoring enabled early detection of anomalous pressure behaviour.
Cost-effective integration delivered scalable solution without significant capital expenditure.
Remote pressure modelling extended network coverage and reduced response times.
Hubit supported SES Water in advancing their approach to mainline pressure monitoring with a scalable, integrated IoT deployment. Digital Matter Hawk loggers were selected for their low-power operation and robust cellular connectivity, paired with custom push-fit pressure sensors chosen for infrastructure compatibility and reliable data transmission.
Rather than focusing solely on pressure drops, the system tracks pressure trends over time, enabling pattern-based analysis and comparisons across sites. Data is transmitted via API into SES Water’s existing platform, with Hubit’s role centred on introducing a flexible, integration-focused approach.
This deployment provides a proven framework for wider rollout, supporting accurate monitoring and data-led operational decision-making.
Designed for longevity and low maintenance, the Hawk loggers and custom sensors deliver reliable field operation for up to six years. Real-time alerts and cloud-based pressure modelling enable SES Water to scale their monitoring coverage while significantly reducing the need for manual site visits, providing a cost-effective, operationally efficient solution for long-term network management and infrastructure resilience.
