Sydney, November 4, 2024 – Detection Services, a leading provider of water management solutions in Australia and New Zealand, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with British engineering pioneer Synthotech. This collaboration introduces Synthotech’s innovative in-pipe CCTV systems, including the SynthoCAM™ H2O, to the Australasian market. Designed for live access and detailed inspections of potable water and gas pipes, these state-of-the-art systems promise to enhance utilities’ and councils’ ability to detect and address leaks swiftly and effectively.
The SynthoCAM™ H2O system is engineered to deliver live, high-quality visual access to potable water and gas pipes with diameters ranging from 100mm to 300mm for water and between 16mm and 1200mm for gas and operates effectively under pressures of up to 10 bar. Equipped to survey up to 100 meters in both directions, it offers unmatched precision in locating leaks and identifying pipe issues. This innovation minimises investigation time and reduces the impact of water disruptions, delivering a powerful solution for both utilities and the communities they serve.
“The SynthoCAM™ H2O system’s ability to deliver real-time insights into a water network’s inner workings will be a game-changer for utilities across Australia and New Zealand,” said Chris Evans, CEO of Detection Services. “At Detection Services, we are committed to empowering our clients with the most advanced technology to enhance network integrity, operational efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Partnering with Synthotech aligns perfectly with our mission, and we are thrilled to bring this capability to the region.”
“We are also excited to be part of Synthotech’s journey offering pipeline repairs with no excavation, which we feel has the potential to be ‘best in class’ for trenchless pipeline repair technologies.”
Synthotech’s technology is engineered in compliance with water regulations’ approved materials and parts, including a dedicated chlorination tank, ensuring compliance with stringent potable water safety standards. The system’s precision and user-friendly interface make it an invaluable tool for utilities and councils striving to address leaks more efficiently, reduce maintenance costs, and uphold customer satisfaction.
With this partnership, Detection Services is broadening its range of pipeline assessment tools, providing Water Utilities and Gas Services providers with world-class leak detection solutions and improving their ability to address issues before they escalate. The SynthoCAM™ H2O system is expected to play a vital role in improving operational transparency, reducing water waste, and extending the lifespan of infrastructure across Australasia.
This strategic partnership represents a step forward in Detection Services’ ongoing efforts to bring innovative, sustainable solutions to the market. By adding Synthotech’s expertise to its portfolio, Detection Services is positioned to support its clients with industry-leading tools that meet the unique challenges of the Australasian environment.
