HWM PermaNET Trunk Main (TM) – Permanent Leak Monitoring for Trunk Mains PermaNET Trunk Main (TM) is an advanced solution for continuous leak monitoring on trunk mains and large-diameter pipelines. It is designed for critical water infrastructure where high reliability, precision, and real-time visibility are essential. By combining high-sensitivity acoustic sensors, support for external hydrophones (Hydrophone 2), and GPS time synchronisation, PermaNET TM enables effective leak detection and correlation over long distances, including plastic and other non-metallic pipelines.

XT5 is an ultra-compact magnetic manhole cover lifter with a rigid handle and integrated hook lever for mechanical lifting. The new magnetic plate provides up to 300 kg lifting force, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

LB5 is a compact and ultra-light magnetic lifter designed for valve boxes, hydrant covers and inspection chambers. Weighing only 2 kg, it is easy and comfortable to use in daily operations.LB5 is ideal for handling light and medium-duty covers, where a fast and practical solution is required. It is equipped with a “T” handle, which can also be used as a mechanical lever or hook when magnetic adhesion is not sufficient. Its compact design allows for easy transport and storage, making it a convenient tool for field work. Lifting capacity up to 70 kg in ideal conditions.

The CL10 is a universal magnetic lifting tool with a rectangular base, designed for lifting, moving and repositioning manhole covers, drainage grates, cast iron covers and other ferrous materials. The tool features a telescopic and foldable handle, providing excellent ergonomics during operation while requiring minimal storage and transportation space. Thanks to its unique design, the CL10 can be used in four different working positions, making it suitable for the majority of lifting and repositioning tasks.

Patroller 4 – Smart Wireless Data Collector Patroller 4 is a compact wireless receiver designed for quick and efficient data collection from PCorr+ and Permalog+ leak detection devices. It communicates via Bluetooth and radio, enabling drive-by or on-site (“lift and shift”) data downloads in seconds.

PrimeTrace is an advanced gas detection system designed for pinpointing water leaks in all types of pipe materials — including metal, plastic, and composite. It uses hydrogen gas detection, one of the most sensitive and reliable methods available, capable of identifying even the smallest leaks that traditional acoustic methods may miss. The system operates with a safe 5% hydrogen and 95% nitrogen gas mixture, which is non-flammable, non-toxic, and environmentally safe. The tracer gas is injected into the water pipe through a hydrant or service connection, travels with the water flow, and escapes at the leak point. Because hydrogen is the lightest element, it rises through soil and flooring to the surface, where it can be easily detected by the PrimeTrace sensors.

Mikron3 Junior – Portable Acoustic Water Leak Pinpointing System Mikron3 Junior is a lightweight, easy-to-use acoustic system designed for quick and accurate water leak pinpointing across remote and hard-to-access pipeline networks. It is an ideal solution for utilities managing ageing infrastructure where rapid leak detection is essential to reduce water loss and operational costs. Using optimised acoustic sensing technology, the system detects leak noise directly on fittings (valves, hydrants) and through the ground surface. Mikron3 Junior offers both pre-location and precise leak pinpointing, supported by interchangeable sensors: listening rod, ground microphone and accelerometer.

Hydrophone 2 is an advanced leak noise sensor that delivers proven, significantly improved performance on plastic pipelines and trunk mains. Extremely sensitive and ideal for detecting low-frequency leak noise, Hydrophone 2 excels in challenging conditions, including large-diameter and non-metallic pipelines.
