Idrostudi supports water utilities in enhancing the structural performance and resilience of their water networks.
We assess infrastructure conditions, design tailored active monitoring strategies and work closely with operators throughout implementation. By combining advanced asset inspection, pipe leak detection, data-driven analysis, and innovative technologies, we enable targeted, proactive interventions across the network.
Our water leak detection services and approach help utilities reduce water leakage and non-revenue water (NRW), improve ARERA performance indicators, lower the energy impact associated with losses, and increase operational reliability. It also minimises infrastructure risks and critical failures, strengthening the long-term sustainability and resilience of water systems.
Pipeline Survey Services for Water & Hydraulic Infrastructure
Survey activities form the essential knowledge base for the effective management of infrastructure networks and assets.
Through an integrated approach—combining field data collection with advanced analytical processes—Idrostudi provides water utilities, public authorities, and asset managers with reliable, actionable insights to support both operational and strategic planning.
All survey operations are carried out by highly qualified personnel, fully certified for confined space entry (in accordance with DPR 177/11), traffic management, and working at height.
Worksite safety and full regulatory compliance in the setup of temporary works and site operations are non-negotiable standards in every project.
Acoustic Leak Detection & Non-Revenue Water Reduction
The water loss detection market is rapidly shifting from systematic surveys to targeted, outcome-driven strategies. Today, utilities require more than large-scale campaigns — they need precision acoustic leak detection that delivers measurable results.
Idrostudi, in partnership with ETS, develops advanced active monitoring solutions — both temporary and permanent — designed to convert network data into actionable insights. This enables utilities to pinpoint leaks faster, optimise field operations, and maximise the efficiency of every intervention.
Our approach supports continuous improvement of the Infrastructure Leakage Index (ILI), reduces the energy footprint associated with water losses, and delivers proven, data-driven results. These outcomes are reinforced by successful performance incentives achieved across multiple public tenders focused on targeted leak detection.
Real-time Fiber Optic Monitoring Service
for Water Loss Detection — Powered by k-optic
Idrostudi has introduced an innovative approach to fiber optic leak detection by leveraging existing urban fiber infrastructure. This approach enables continuous, real-time monitoring of water supply and distribution networks.
A platform monitors thousands of microphones, enabling real-time identification and localization of leaks, reducing water waste and the costs associated with unnecessary routine field inspections. Always, in real time.
A smarter, more strategic leak
detection process that improves
network performance,
reduces water losses,
and supports long-term
improvement in ILI
performance class.
