Innovative Sensor Array for Sewer Survey (ISASS)Sewer systems around the world are ageing and their performance is deteriorating. More frequent sewer blockages and collapses result in raw sewage flooding into houses and spilling into rivers more often and with increased severity, causing much damage, distress and pollution. Water companies need more information about their sewer systems so that they can plan where and when to carry out detailed inspection, cleaning and repair. Under Ofwat regulation, water companies in England and Wales have committed to meeting stretching flooding and pollution targets. If they succeed, they will gain financially to recognise the benefit that the communities they serve have benefitted from better service. If they fail, they will suffer financial penalties. The problem they all have to address is what to do and where to do it to control their sewer systems to meet and exceed the targets. The traditional CCTV inspection is slow and costly, which has resulted in only a small percentage of sewer system ever having been inspected even once.The use of acoustics for sewer survey has been developed in the UK over the last 10 years and provides a means for water companies to survey more of their sewer networks quickly and cheaply, and to do it more often. In the UK, Acoustic Sensing Technology (UK) Ltd has been providing the SewerBatt system since 2013\. The time is now right to bring together the experience gained since the company was established with the expertise of world-leading researchers at the University of Sheffield to develop the next generation of sensors.ISASS will use acoustic numerical simulation to produce digital prototypes of sensor arrays and simulate their performance in digital representations of many different configurations of sewers and the defects they contain. Bypassing the need to build multiple physical sensor arrays and test them in many different real, live, sewers will dramatically accelerate the delivery of the optimal next generation sensor. Once the design has been optimised by simulation the final design will be produced in the metal and field tested to confirm its performance.Finally, the ISASS project will develop a version of SewerBatt for long-term installation in manholes, designed to provide data for prioritising cleaning and repair of sewers and drains while minimising the need to physically access them.

用于下水道调查的创新型传感器阵列（ISASS）世界各地的下水道系统正在老化，其性能正在恶化。下水道堵塞和坍塌更为频繁，导致未经处理的污水涌入房屋，更频繁地流入河流，造成更严重的损害、痛苦和污染。自来水公司需要更多关于其下水道系统的信息，以便他们可以计划何时何地进行详细的检查，清洁和维修。根据Ofwat的规定，英格兰和威尔士的水务公司已承诺满足延长洪水和污染目标。如果他们成功了，他们将获得经济上的好处，承认他们所服务的社区从更好的服务中受益。如果失败，他们将受到经济处罚。他们都必须解决的问题是做什么和在哪里做，以控制他们的下水道系统，以满足和超过目标。传统的闭路电视检查速度慢，成本高，导致只有一小部分的下水道系统曾经被检查过，甚至一次。在过去的10年里，声学在下水道调查中的应用在英国已经发展起来，为自来水公司提供了一种手段，可以快速，廉价地调查他们的下水道网络，并且更经常地这样做。在英国，Acoustic Sensing Technology（UK）Ltd自2013年以来一直提供SewerBatt系统。现在是时候将公司成立以来所积累的经验与谢菲尔德大学世界领先的研究人员的专业知识结合起来，开发下一代传感器了。ISAS将使用声学数值模拟来制作传感器阵列的数字原型，并模拟它们在许多不同下水道配置及其缺陷的数字表示中的性能。解决了构建多个物理传感器阵列并在许多不同的真实的现场下水道中进行测试的需求，将大大加快最佳下一代传感器的交付。一旦通过模拟优化设计，最终的设计将在金属中生产并进行现场测试，以确认其性能。最后，ISAS项目将开发一种版本的SewerBatt，用于长期安装在检修孔中，旨在为优先清洁和维修下水道和排水管提供数据，同时最大限度地减少实际访问它们的需要。
