ATLANTA, May 8, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Echologics, a provider of pipe condition assessment and leak detection solutions, has been awarded a 12-month contract with the Singapore Public Utilities Board ("Singapore PUB") to survey 100km of critical transmission mains for leaks.
Echologics is an affiliate of Mueller Co. and part of the Mueller Water Products, Inc. (NYSE:MWA) group of companies. Singapore PUB is the national water agency responsible for the collection, production, distribution and reclamation of water in Singapore.
"By employing our EchoWave™ leak detection services, Singapore PUB is helping to ensure the integrity and mitigate the risk of failure of its transmission mains," said Marc Bracken, vice president and general manager of Echologics. "We are excited to work with Singapore PUB as it continues to be a good steward of its ratepayers' resources and to enable informed, data-driven decisions to ensure the water supply in Singapore is well managed."
Echologics pioneered the development of a proprietary, acoustic-based system that non-invasively pinpoints leaks on large-diameter transmission mains. Echologics' solution can detect and locate leaks without disrupting water service and is not limited by pipe material or size.
