FIND THE LEAK BEFORE IT BECOMES A BURST

Use case: Water leak detection

Intelligent Core combines long-range autonomous drones, multi-sensor data capture and AI-powered analysis to detect hidden water network leakage, pinpoint failing infrastructure and reduce non-revenue water, before it costs you.

The Challenge
Operators manage thousands of miles of buried and above-ground pipework, reservoirs and treatment infrastructure across mixed, often inaccessible terrain. Leaks can run undetected for months, driving up lost revenue through downtime, regulatory penalties and reactive repair costs, while manual leak-detection surveys are too slow and costly to cover a whole network often enough.
tHE Solution
IC's long-range drones fly repeatable, autonomous surveys across pipeline routes, reservoirs and treatment sites. Missions combine high-resolution RGB, thermal, multispectral and LiDAR data to flag moisture anomalies, vegetation stress, ground movement and pressure-related surface changes. IC's AI fuses these signals with network, weather and historic leak data to generate georeferenced leak-risk scores and targeted investigation lists.

Monitor

Persistent Network Monitoring
Repeat surveys across pipelines, reservoirs and treatment assets to track changing moisture, vegetation and ground conditions.

Detect

Earlier Leak Detection
Identify hidden seepage indicators, abnormal moisture, stress indicators and pressure-related anomalies before they surface as bursts.

TRIANGULATE

Multi-Signal Confidence
Combine thermal, multispectral, LiDAR and historic leak data to build confidence a leak exists before you dig.

Prioritise

Targeted Investigation
Risk-rank locations so field teams focus acoustic surveys, excavation and repair crews where evidence is strongest.
Why Intelligent Core

5+ Hours Flight time

Continuous, autonomous monitoring.

Extended endurance supports longer network surveys with fewer landings, battery changes and crew relocations — useful across sprawling or hard-to-reach mains.

100km+ Range & 150km/h Top Speed

Built for long distance, beyond the horizon.

IC's platform covers more pipeline, main and reservoir perimeter from fewer operating locations and rapidly reaches priority or suspected leak sites.

Multi-Sensor + AI

Multiple signals. One risk picture.

Collect RGB, thermal, multispectral and LiDAR data with 600% greater accuracy and fuse with network data, then learn from confirmed leaks to improve confidence over time.
Survey More
Screen more mains, reservoirs and treatment assets per operating session.
Know Sooner
Identify and verify emerging leaks earlier through repeatable multi-sensor evidence.
Protect Smarter
Prioritise excavation, repair and maintenance crews by evidence, confidence and changing risk.
