How your city can benefit from water capacity management solutions
Reduce damage to private property and public infrastructure
Sewer backup, overflows and surface water flooding can cause significant damage to private property and public infrastructure. With active monitoring and early problem identification, potential damage can be completely or partially mitigated. Response crews and private citizens can relocate assets and deploy flood barriers in the at-risk area.
Protect your residents and local wildlife
Flooding can occur quickly and with force. With advanced warning, city officials, homeowners and conservation authorities will have the actionable insight to respond accordingly. Targeted and timely response can protect at-risk citizens, local wildlife and natural habitats.
Flow meters allow an alternative measurement option for regions looking to reduce the use of weirs and flumes.
Maintain a safe and clean water supply
Efficient sewage service and availability of safe and clean water are essential services. Identify and quantify inflows and infiltrations of your city’s water system to control contamination and repair infrastructure. Sustainable, low-cost water treatment services are critical to meeting growing demand and require well-maintained waste and storm water systems.
Control costs with automated sensor and modelling technology
Bell’s system of connected flow meters and advanced modelling software equips your internal teams with real-time insights, analysis and forecasting, which reduces the need for costly drainage system capacity studies by external consultants.
Use cases
Suitable for use in both combined or separated storm and sanitary sewer systems
Actively monitor sewer flow conditions and detect blockages or changes in volume and temperature. Use this data to identify and quantify flood or contamination risks, so crews can respond in a timely and effective manner. Response teams can take steps to resolve the problem and mitigate potential damage.
Able to monitor rivers, streams and other open water channels
Real-time monitoring of water level, flow and temperature can help identify and quantify flood or contamination risks. Early risk identification allows response teams to further assess the area, deploy temporary flood barriers, engage permanent defences, deploy or repair pumps and develop urban planning for wetlands and other diversion channels.
