May 2014 - SES Water | Water Management

We have worked with many county councils in the past and continue to do so. Some of the work we do for councils includes leak detection, water surveys and implementing rainwater harvesting devices.

Recently we completed a water survey on a local government office for a local county council . As part of the audit we identfied key areas where they could save money by installing water saving devices such as hippo bags and aerators. We also set up a logger to track their water usage. By analysing the data collected we can determine if there may be a leaking pipe (e.g. if there is a huge volume of water being used during the night whenthere would be no one on the premises).

County Councils often refer people in their local area who are experiencing leaks to us. We have carried out work on numerous domestic leaks all around Ireland including Counties Clare, Limerick, Tipperary, Galway and Dublin. We use a range of techniques to detect leaks including the tracer gas method and finding leaks through the use of acoustic leak detection equipment.  Below is a picture of one of the leaks we found at a domestic clients home.

A county manager, Tom Curran from Kerry County Council recently warned that Irish Water has been set up too quickly and that it would not be able to adequately cope with the number of leaks on the network.

He stressed how important it is for leaks to be fixed as it is costing the water network a huge amount of money.

In the past we have provided some of the biggest companies in Ireland with rainwater harvesting solutions.

With increasing costs of bringing water to a potable/drinking standard we must look at new ways of reducing our demand on mains water while still maintaining our living standards. Our Smart Rainwater Harvesting System is that solution.

Our rainwater harvesting tanks can be used to collect rainwater which is then used in toilets, washing machines and showers etc. This will give you huge reductions on your commercial water bill.

We offer a wide range of external water tanks for commercial sites starting from 920 Litres all the way up to 10,000 Litres.

Below are some picture of a 10,000 Litre tank we installed at a factory in Dublin. The rainwater harvested was then used to flush urinals. We also fitted urinal flush controllers so that only the optimal amount of rainwater would be used to flush the urinals and none of it would be wasted.

The level of water charges proposed by the Government this week will not be sufficient to remove billions of euro of debt associated with Irish Water from the national accounts, as had been planned.

This is because the likely annual charge per household of €240 will not generate more than half of the income stream needed to fund the new utility, something that is necessary if the debts associated with the water and waste system are to be removed from the national accounts, water charges experts have told The Irish Times.

The creation of Irish Water could move billions of euro of national debt “off the books” and produce substantial benefits in terms of the cost of servicing Ireland’s borrowings, because it could feed into reduced interest charges.

The purpose of the Summer Works Scheme is to devolve funding to individual school authorities to undertake small-scale building works which, ideally, can be carried out during the summer months or at other times that avoid disrupting the operation of the school. Under the terms of the scheme, school authorities are empowered to manage these works with guidance from and minimal interaction with the Department.

As part of the Summer Works Scheme we have helped schools around the country with water and energy management.

We have undertaken extensive work with St Caimins Community School in Shannon including implementing a range of water saving methods in the school, below is a short testimonial from school’s facility manager.

As part of one of our Schools (St Caimins Community School, Shannon) Green Initiatives, we wererequired to look at reducing the Schools overall water and energy usage. Having heard good reports about SES, we made contact with them and asked them to help us out. Following an audit of the School they advised us on the most critical areas that needed to be looked at. They also showed us the initial outlay for carrying out the works and the anticipated payback periods. 

To date we have implemented many of their proposed changes and are seeing the savings as a result, some of the work they have carried out includes installing water saving equipment throughout the school, overhauling the heating system and installing new thermostats. I would highly recommend their services and we already have introduced them to another one of our schools.

Some of our more recent work includes finding a leak in water pipe of Cooraclare National School in Clare. The school contacted us because they were concerned that they were using much more water than a school of their size ought to be using. Using the Echologics range of leak detection equipment, which we are the sole Irish Distributor for we were able to find the leak in the plastic pipe as you can see below:

If your school is planning on having some work done over the summer or if you would simply like to reduce your energy and water consumption contact us today!
