INFRAPORT

New leak function

Overview

The new version of the Leak function has been developed to address the most important aspects of leak detection and management. With the help of the software you can:

1. Track the progress of a confirmed leak. Regardless of whether the leak was found by an AUTOCO result or directly in the field.
2. Collect and centralize data obtained during the leak detection process.
3. Independently perform analyses, including the volume of water saved, cost savings and other insights.

Leak management

Creating a leak

There are two ways to add a leak in INFRAPORT:

1. Create a leak from an AUTOCO result:

Open an AUTOCO result. You can do this either by clicking on the colored pipe section in the map or by selecting a number in the list of daily AUTOCO results.
Select the correlation pair that generated the measurement you want to associate with the leak.
Click on the"Verify leak"button.

The form for creating a leak is opened in the right-hand sidebar with the following pre-filled details:

Status: "To check"
Location: Coordinates of the leak
Measurement: The selected AUTOCO result as the starting point.

To save the leak, click on the "Save" button.

To cancel the creation, click on the "X" button at the top right or any option in the left navigation bar. A warning message will appear to confirm the cancelation.

2. Create a leak in edit mode:

Click in the main menu on the left on editing the map (pencil icon)
Select leaks in the filter
Click on the "Add" button. Important: The "Activate edit map" selection must be deactivated for this.

The form for creating a leak will open in the right-hand sidebar.

To save the leak, click on the "Save" button.
