Flow Measurement Specialists to Supply Sewer Network Monitoring, Maintenance and Flood Prevention in Athens

摘要

Detectronic (UK) is working in partnership with its Greek agent, Metrica, to supply sewer monitoring and maintenance in support of flood prevention in the country's capital, Athens, for the Athens Water Supply and Sewerage Company (EYDAP SA). EYDAP SA invited Metrica and a number of other suppliers to look at long term monitoring and maintenance of the city's trunk sewers with a view to appointing a suitable delivery partner. Following initial trials of Detectronic monitoring equipment and a formal tender process, Metrica won the contract. Explains Dave Walker, commercial director for Detectronic: "This is a particularly complex and challenging project for us and our colleagues at Metrica. First of all, the pipes in the existing sewer network vary from 1000mm to 3500mm in diameter, with invert levels (depth from ground-level to the bottom of the pipe) of up to 9000mm.
