Acoustic Loggers

An initial 72,000 permanent loggers have been installed onto the network and are being used to reduce the company's leakage levels. This tender will cover the potential to install up to a further 30,000 permanent loggers which will be made up of either accelerometer or hydrophone loggers. It is anticipated that the split will be 80/20 in favour of the accelerometer style logger. Although this may change dependent on the selected DMA's that require logging. This tender will also cover the replacement of the loggers contained within the companies Lift & Shift fleet which currently totals around 2100 loggers.

Options: The term will be for an initial 3 years, and include an additional 5 optional years, in increments to be determined at United Utilities discretion.
