FlowSense turns sewer and stormwater telemetry into an operations picture your team can act on this morning, and into the engineering evidence that justifies the capital spend. One platform, one continuous chain, and nobody re-keys the data between stages.
Most monitoring programmes end at a web page full of readings. Everything that turns those readings into a decision happens somewhere else, by hand, and has to be rebuilt from scratch the next time somebody asks.
Every infiltration study starts with an export, a pivot table and a week of somebody's time. The working is in a file on one person's laptop, and the next study starts again from zero.
When an engineer asks how a volume was totalled, or which storms a model was fitted against, the honest answer is often that nobody recorded it. That is fatal in a business case.
A blocked reach, a flat battery or a fortnight of missing record usually announces itself through an overflow, a complaint or a report that has already gone out wrong.
Each stage reads the stage before it. The volume in the board paper traces straight back to the reading that produced it, and you can follow it the whole way without leaving the platform.
Readings arrive automatically and EDS operates that chain for you. Live status across the whole fleet on one screen: alarms, communications, telemetry health, battery condition and gaps surfaced before you go looking.
The analyst's workbench. Infiltration and inflow, dry weather flow, depth versus velocity, catchment balance, trade waste and data quality, all on the record as it stands, with no export step in the middle.
Sixteen workspaces on a GIS canvas: calibration and validation, hydraulics, scattergraphs, pump testing, overflow forecasting and capital appraisal. A consultancy engagement, productised.
Five report templates under your own branding, exported as PDF or CSV, plus scheduled automated delivery straight into the systems your organisation already runs on.
Vendor independent by design. Instrumentation from several manufacturers sits side by side, and readings from all of it land in one record, with one set of units and one timeline. New site types are onboarded by EDS without a platform change. You are not locked in to what you bought last time.
Every module is available from any modern browser on desktop, tablet or mobile. There is nothing to install.
The live operations picture across your whole network, refreshed every 60 seconds with live push in between.
Every channel a site carries, on one interactive multi axis chart with zoom, pan, date presets and per chart export.
The headline module for any sewer authority. Rainfall response separated from sanitary flow, quantified and charted.
Sixteen tools on a shared GIS canvas, organised by project and scenario, with pipes, nodes, pump stations and catchments as layers.
Predictive early warning that reads the overnight trough, where a restriction shows up long before it shows up anywhere else.
The board paper output. Cost benefit appraisal that ranks candidate works on what they actually buy you.
Threshold and no data rules, site wide or channel specific, evaluated automatically on a schedule you set.
Account owners run their own users without raising a ticket with us, and decide exactly what each person sees.
Straight line interpolation between gauges spreads severity across roads, parks and catchment boundaries that water never crosses. FlowSense paints severity onto the actual gravity sewer network instead, by catchment and by flow direction, so a reach is coloured by what genuinely drains to the meter that measured it.
A kriging engine carries a confidence overlay from 0 to 1 across the whole surface, so the map shows you not only the estimate but how much of it to trust. Where flows in upstream pipes are inferred from the downstream meter, they are labelled as a calibrated estimate, never as a measurement.
Exports as GeoJSON, CSV, JPG and a formatted A4 report. We integrate with your own GIS network data as part of setup.
Engineers buy from people who show their working. Every calculated figure in FlowSense carries a note explaining how it was reached, and the platform is built to refuse a guess rather than dress one up.
A reading keeps the time the instrument recorded it, never the time the platform collected it. A record with no trustworthy timestamp is skipped rather than guessed at, and a partial batch never lands.
A reading stamped "as of now" looks like healthy data and silently masks an outage. FlowSense refuses them at the door, so a quiet site reads as quiet.
Daily volumes are the average flow for each local day multiplied by 86,400 seconds, summed, with partial days at each edge prorated. It matches the spreadsheet your own team already keeps.
A whole of series score can look respectable while the model misses every peak, because dry stretches dominate it. Each storm is scored on its own against the acceptance bands consulting practice uses, and three assessable storms is the minimum for a verified result.
Every run carries a data adequacy report: storm count, record coverage and the dry days behind the baseline. A fortnight too wet to judge is reported as "not enough dry weather", not as "normal".
When a site goes quiet, the window is found and repaired, so an outage does not leave a permanent hole in the record. This is the class of gap that never fills itself in, and that nobody notices until a report is already wrong.
Choose your sites, your date range and an optional comparison period, this quarter against last. Include or exclude any section, so one template serves several audiences. Export as PDF or CSV.
| Report | Written for | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Flow Totals | Operations | Hourly, half day, daily, weekly and monthly volumes |
| Executive Summary | Management | Performance, risk indicators, alarms, telemetry health, rainfall and recommendations |
| Engineering Diagnostic | Engineering | Rainfall response, dry weather flow, anomalies, infiltration, hydraulic performance, flow balance and calibration history |
| Site Investigation | Field crews | A field ready pack: notes, calibrations, alarms, telemetry history and nearby assets |
| Network Performance | Asset planners | Catchment performance, wet weather response, high risk assets and asset risk rankings |
FlowSense delivers your data into your systems on a schedule, as files or as messages, with the channels you choose.
Records that arrive as a file rather than from an instrument belong in the same place as everything else.
The fastest way to judge FlowSense is to watch somebody drive it. Book a live walkthrough and we will take you from the operations picture through to a costed capital option in about half an hour.
The platform overview is the illustrated tour, module by module, and the best place to start. The manual is the full reference, screen by screen. Both are free, and there is no form to fill in.
