Sewer-sensing is upon us. This proposal leverages digiLab’s pioneering machine learning, using Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) and optimisation techniques to create a platform for sensor and water data that drives efficiency in the next wave of sensor deployment and monitoring in the wastewater network, ensuring value for all water companies and customers. By transferring our successful approach from other safety-critical engineering fields such as nuclear, digiLab will provide cost-effective solutions to water companies, tier one suppliers and the supply chain in the expected installation of >300,000 sensors by 2030. UQ provides confidence and resilience in the resulting intelligence.

digiLab Solutions was announced as one of 10 winners in the Water Discovery Challenge on 20 February 2024 – read more in the announcement blog.
