The local water and wastewater utility in Andravida-Kyllini Municipality is undergoing a significant modernization project to elevate the efficiency and reliability of its potable water distribution network. This project is driven by the collaboration between ABB and Intrakat, an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) firm in the renewable energy and waste management sectors in Greece. The 354-square-kilometer municipality, located in the western part of Greece, is known for its agricultural and fishing industries, as well as tourism.
“As Greece and neighboring Mediterranean nations tackle water infrastructure challenges, this project underscores the importance of fully integrated solutions in revitalizing water infrastructure. In this integrated approach, automation plays an important role to secure stable, consistent water supply and enhance non-revenue water management without requiring an overhaul of the municipality’s aging systems”. said John Kokotos, Local Division Manager at ABB Energy Industries.
As part of the integrated solution, the water network modelling suite MIKE+ was provided by DHI A/S, a leading digitally enabled advisory company working with water. ABB and DHI signed a global partnership agreement in 2021, joining forces to create smarter, more sustainable water management solutions. In the Andravida-Kyllini Municipality project, DHI’s leak monitoring feature MIKE, will help to quickly detect network leakages to secure better efficiency.
