Wireless sensor networks: creating 'smart infrastructure'
Paper was awarded the 2010 ICE Telford Gold Medal for its seminal and influential description of the development and implementation of advanced sensing technologies for monitoring the service life of ageing infrastructure. The InfraSense technology, invented by Stoianov, Patent Application 1221644.6, was developed for continuously capturing the dynamic hydraulic conditions in water supply systems and has been subsequently adopted by Bristol Water (Kevin.Henderson@bristolwater.co.uk), Severn Trent (Bernadette.Ryan@severntrent.co.uk), Essex and Suffolk Water (Dennis.Dellow@nwl.co.uk). By capturing the dynamic hydraulic conditions, water utilities can gather unique insight into failure mechanisms, thus reducing the occurrence of bursts and discoloration events (Leo Kiernan, Thames Water, leo.kiernan@thameswater.co.uk).
