In the UAE, water leaks are the single biggest contributor to water wastage, occurring everywhere from water tanks and district cooling to swimming pools and irrigation systems. Yet most of us are unaware they are happening. Across the region’s distribution network, billions of gallons of water are being lost annually. To address this critical issue, VERTECO, the region’s leading provider of award-winning Smart washroom solutions, water saving products, and data-driven cleaning technology, is excited to announce its strategic partnership with Quensus, global pioneers in advanced leak detection technology.
The partnership marks a significant step forward in VERTECO’s mission to revolutionize water conservation efforts in the Middle East. It also means they now offer one of the most comprehensive ranges of leak detection services in the region, supplying the latest, innovative technology to detect leaks quickly and accurately in commercial properties.
The collaboration between VERTECO and Quensus ensures the region has access to cutting-edge AI, app-based leak detection technology that offers unparalleled benefits in water conservation and sustainability. By saving water and reducing wastage, the systems directly contribute to the preservation of precious natural resources and help combat water scarcity. The implementation of leak detection technology also aligns with the sustainability goals of our government and leadership, who are striving to achieve stringent water conservation targets.
By continuously monitoring water usage and detecting leaks in real-time, leak detection services help FM teams to prevent costly water damage and mitigate the risk of property loss. Additionally, early detection of leaks enables prompt repairs, reducing water wastage and lowering utility bills for consumers.
David King, Managing Director of VERTECO, said: “VERTECO is committed to providing innovative solutions that address the pressing environmental challenges facing the Middle East. Our ongoing partnership with Quensus allows us to offer state-of-the-art leak detection technology that not only saves water but also protects properties, saves money and promotes sustainability.”
In addition to the numerous environmental and monetary benefits, the adoption of preventive leak detection technology may lead to further cost savings for property owners in the future. As insurance companies in other markets increasingly recognize the value of proactive measures to prevent water damage, properties equipped with leak detection systems may qualify for reduced insurance premiums and deductibles.
Dr Dan Simmons, Managing Director of Quensus, said: “We are thrilled to partner with VERTECO to bring our leak detection technology to the Middle East. Our advanced systems offer unmatched reliability and accuracy, empowering commercial businesses owners to take proactive measures to conserve water and protect their assets.”
