DALI is featured in the New Civil Engineer magazine

The DALI system is featured in the New Civil Engineer magazine, highlighting its role in transforming water leak detections.

The challenge of water leakage in the UK prompts companies to action, with the ambition to halve leaks by 2050 compared to 2017/2018 levels. Fiber optic technology could hold the key.

Fiber optic sensor technology could be a breakthrough in continuously monitoring water distribution networks, allowing leaks to be detected in real-time. The UK government's "Fibre in Water" competition offered £4 million in funding to explore the feasibility of installing fiber optic cables in drinking water mains. The Tawco project, led by Yorkshire Water and Arcadis Consulting, aimed to deploy fiber optic cables in live drinking water mains for continuous leak monitoring and telecommunications connections for homes and businesses along the route. Despite challenges, trials such as the Dali system show very promising results, raising hopes that fiber optic technology could play a crucial role in reducing water leakage.
