Ovarro Opens New Asia Pacific Headquarters

Pipeline failures do not always stem from ageing infrastructure – many begin at installation, writes Ben Crabtree, global product line director, Ovarro. Errors in jointing, manual testing and inconsistent quality assurance (QA) processes can reduce pipeline quality, leading to leaks, rework and increased costs.

At a time of increasing weather volatility, it is no surprise that regulators expect water companies to maintain an intense focus on leakage detection, writes Dineke Fischer, senior executive, Ovarro. Three months after the last drought ended, dry conditions this spring have increased the risk of a summer drought in parts of England, reported the National Drought Group on 19 June 2026.

Technology company Ovarro is expanding its global channel partner network as utilities worldwide galvanise their efforts to tackle water loss and strengthen digital capability. The company is actively seeking new channel partners specialising in leakage detection and process control.

Ovarro’s end-to-end leakage detection system, EnigmaREACH, has entered its fifth UK strategic deployment, as water companies adopt the proven technology to meet ambitious water loss targets.

Two public utilities in the Île-de-France region of north-central France have become the first in the country to benefit from an all-in-one leakage reduction toolkit, writes Dineke Fischer, senior executive, Ovarro. The Territorial Public Establishment Grand-Orly Seine Bièvre (EPT GOSB) is the largest territory in the Greater Paris metropolitan area, comprising 24 towns and cities with a combined population of around 720,000.

Tackling leakage is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways for utilities to bolster water security, writes Ben Crabtree, product line director, Ovarro, revealing how the potential of smart technologies is being demonstrated around the world.
