Overview

Table of Contents

This section provides an overall overview of the KenWave Solutions company and the DRI Analytics web application.


KenWave Solutions

Table of Contents

KenWave Solutions has established itself as a leading provider of data-driven solutions aimed at closing the buried asset information gap. The company’s technology supports asset managers by providing reliable information on pipe stiffness, wall conditions, leaks, air pockets, and other anomalies to save utilities time, money, and water.

KenWave Technology utilizes Dynamic Response ImagingTM technique, which supports asset managers by providing reliable information on pipe wall conditions, leaks, air pockets, and other anomalies at an affordable cost without the risks and dangers of invasive inspection.

Non-invasive condition assessment, loss mitigation and leak detection can and must be a safe, simple, scalable process to provide maximum network coverage and savings. KenWave Technology delivers on all counts.


DRI Analytics App

Table of Contents

DRI Analytics is a web application developed by KenWave Solutions that provides two main functionalities:

  • Management of Inspections – the application allows companies to control users, projects, and devices, providing an overall management of the company work on a concise dashboard.

  • Data-Processing – Comparison between the models and on-site measurements to deduce wall properties and anomaly locations on-site using the online DRI Analytics online platform. Results are then validated by the KenWave data analysis team and returned to the client.

Using the data and its analysis, KenWave database and modeling algorithms are updated to make the next inspections more accurate.

DRI Analytics web application demands the following resources to process the data:

  • Data Acquisition Units (DAU) – collects the input data from the dynamic response sensors.

  • Laptop Computer – runs the DRI Analytics application on-site and allow the field team to send the data from the DAUs to KenWave servers.

  • Internet Connection – provides access to the system on-site and allows the field team to send data from the DAUs to the KenWave servers.

  • KenWave Solutions Servers – stores and process the data to analyze pipe stiffness, wall conditions, leaks, air pockets, and other anomalies.

 Note

The resources cited above do not represent the whole process and equipment used on field operations, just the part related to the DRI Analytics web application. To see more details about the KenWave Solutions and its Dynamic Response Imaging™ Technology, access the KenWave Corporate Brochure.

Using the data and its analysis, KenWave database and modeling algorithms are frequently updated to make the next inspections more accurate. The diagram below shows the DRI Analytics app in a typical field teamwork.
