Water Pipe Leakage Repair Technology

** 背景 ** 今年早些时候，我们从Innovate UK SBRI获得资金，用于实验开发一种名为Origin No Dig的创新产品，该产品可防止饮用水管道泄漏。该项目的一个成果是确保了一家英国水务公司的合作伙伴（我们已经有了），并希望在国际上扩张并将技术出口到国外。愿景 ** 本项目的目的是启动这项新技术的国际化。评估和了解市场和合作伙伴，帮助我们在新市场中部署新技术。**目标 **了解阿联酋2的无挖掘泄漏修复技术市场。在阿联酋3开发潜在客户网络。寻找并评估合作伙伴，帮助我们将Origin No Dig4商业化。了解部署Origin No Dig5的任何法规要求。了解在阿联酋运营的合同和业务法规 ** 主要关注领域 ** 我们将主要关注饮用水网络分配和工业用水的最终用户。了解是否有司机使用非挖掘维修技术。水资源稀缺且昂贵，然而修补漏水的劳动力却很便宜。了解我们的技术在这样一个市场的可行性是至关重要的。如果我们的产品确实有市场需求，那么剩下的目标是相当简单的问题，因此我们将寻求开发客户和供应网络。水受到严格管制，了解这一规定对于确定产品获得批准并进入市场需要多长时间至关重要。起源无需挖掘创新 ** 我们开发并测试了一种技术，可以修复水管泄漏，而无需挖掘管道进行修复。该技术主要提高了我们自然资源的效益和价值。第二个好处是，它通过降低抽水所需的电力来减少温室气体排放。目前的修复方法需要挖掘露出总水管，无论泄漏的大小，然后安装夹具或切割并安装新的管道。我们的技术可以修复任何类型的管道和大多数类型的泄漏，我们甚至不需要知道泄漏在哪里。它在工业中的使用将带来以下好处：* 节约用水 * 防止浪费 * 减少水资源短缺 * 减少碳排放 * 减少维修中断 * 减少修复泄漏所需的人数

**Background**Earlier this year we received from Innovate UK SBRI funding for experimental development of an innovative product called Origin No Dig that prevents potable water pipes from leaking. An outcomes of this project were securing a UK based water company partner (which we have), and looking to expand internationally and export the technology abroad.**Vision**The purpose of this project to start the internationalisation of this new technology. To assess and understand the market and partners that can assist us in deploying a novel technology in new markets.**Objectives**1. To understand the market for a no dig leak repair technology in UAE2. To develop a network of potential customers in UAE3. To find and evaluate a partner to assist us commercialise Origin No Dig4. Understand any regulatory requirements for deploying Origin No Dig5. Understand the contracting and business regulation for operating in UAE**Main Areas of Focus**We will primarily be focused on the end users in both potable water network distribution and industrial water. Understanding if there is driver to utilise a No Dig repair technology. Water is scarce and expensive, however labour to repair leaks is cheap. Understanding the feasibility of our technology in such a market is vital.The remaining objectives are fairly straightforward issues to cover if there is indeed a market need for our product and thus we will be looking to develop a client and supply network. Water is heavily regulated and understanding this regulation is critical in determining how long it will take to get the product approved and thus to market.**Origin No Dig Innovation**We have developed and tested technology that can repair water pipeline leaks without digging up the pipe to repair it. This technology primarily enhances the benefits and value of our natural resources. Secondary benefits are it reduces greenhouse gas emissions by lowering power demand used for pumping water.Current repair approaches require excavation to expose the water main, regardless of the size of the leak, and then either installation of a clamp or cutting out and fitting a new pipe.Our technology will repair any type of pipe and most types of leak, we don't even need to know where the leak is. Its use in the industry will have the following benefits:* Save water* Prevent wastage* Reduce water scarcity* Reduce carbon emissions* Reduce repair disruption* Reduce number of people required to fix leaks
