WWA Magazine Highlights Tigernix’s Revolutionary Tree Root Intrusion Prevention Technology for Water Utilities
December 01, 2024
Water & Wastewater Asia (WWA) Magazine has once again highlighted Tigernix’s innovative technology, specifically its Tree Root Intrusion Prevention Solution designed for urban water utility systems. This feature emphasises Tigernix’s commitment to addressing the ongoing issue of tree roots damaging essential water infrastructure.
Traditional detection methods often fail to identify tree roots, which can infiltrate water, wastewater, and drainage pipelines through cracks and joints. This infiltration leads to significant structural damage, including blockages, leaks, and even collapses. The challenge is particularly acute in urban environments where greenery coexists with dense infrastructure, exacerbated by environmental changes and the dynamic growth of tree roots.
USE CASE: Tigernix’s Tree Root Intrusion Prevention Technology
In response to these challenges, Tigernix has developed a satellite-based monitoring and predictive analytics system that transforms pipeline maintenance practices. In October 2021, an Australian city council implemented Tigernix’s solution to enhance its water infrastructure management. The results were remarkable: the council transitioned from a reactive maintenance approach to a proactive strategy, resulting in substantial cost savings, reduced labour requirements, and minimised service disruptions.
Beyond addressing tree root intrusion, Tigernix’s technology incorporates an InSAR-based landslide detection system. By utilising Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, this system can identify and predict geological hazards with millimeter-level precision, thereby enhancing infrastructure resilience against ground movement risks.
Conclusion
Tigernix’s tree root intrusion prevention technology sets a new standard for integrating sustainability, cost-efficiency, and resilience in water utility management. By leveraging advanced satellite data, predictive analytics, and GIS integration, the system effectively tackles one of the most persistent challenges faced by urban infrastructure.
As cities globally confront the dual pressures of expanding greenery and changing environmental conditions, Tigernix’s solutions provide robust and future-proof infrastructure management. Featured in WWA Magazine, Tigernix solidifies its role as a leader in water utility innovation, paving the way for smarter and more sustainable urban management systems.
