Lot Information

Lot 1

Better Rivers United Utilities' Better Rivers Better North West plan sets out a series of commitments to progressively reduce impact to river health and create more opportunities for everyone to enjoy rivers and waterways. This category aims to use innovation and cutting-edge environmental science to protect and treat rivers in a sustainable and scalable way. United Utilities is looking for ways to enhance monitoring, nature-based purification processes, wetland solutions and innovative ways to engage communities. Low Carbon Construction United Utilities is set to deliver its most comprehensive large-scale construction programme and is keen to explore ways to reduce the carbon footprint of these projects. The company is looking for advanced ways to accurately calculate the carbon emissions associated with construction projects, utilise low carbon, sustainable materials, create 'greener' construction sites, and innovative rainwater management solutions. Water Efficiency There is a growing demand to save water through technologies that reuse and recycle water, enable intelligent irrigation and conserve water in homes and businesses. This category aims to discover new technologies and solutions to enable United Utilities to facilitate the reduction of water consumption for both domestic and business customers. The company is looking for technology that can be used in homes or businesses to reduce water usage but doesn't rely on customers changing their behaviour as well as ways to raise awareness of water as a scarce resource and encourage customers to change behaviour through visualisation, better use of data or gamification Dynamic Network Management United Utilities has already implemented a pioneering 'Dynamic Network Management' (DNM) initiative to monitor its wastewater network. It wants to expand on the success of this by improving their asset condition monitoring capabilities with the aim of using data to control assets via remote communication. The company is interested in solutions that monitor asset condition, predict potential failures and apply collated data to automate decisions that prevent asset failure in both clean and wastewater environments. Wildcard: This category is truly open. The company is open to learning and being surprised by what new technologies and different approaches can do for them and their customers, employees and stakeholders. As in previous years, United Utilities will deliver its Innovation Lab programme with corporate innovation specialist, L Marks. Applications for the latest 14-week programme open on Monday May 8 and interested companies have until July 3rd to submit their ideas.
