App for sewer connections wins RIONED innovation award 2019

Stefan Pols of Adaptivity and Peter van Tilburg of the municipality of Oosterhout presented the new app for measuring and sharing revision data of house and gully connections. "The inlet is measured from a sewer manhole and from there the connection pipe is further drawn" explains Stefan Pols. Peter van Tilburg adds: "A paper work order is no longer needed because all materials used are entered. That also saves in administration and invoicing".

Participants at the RIONEDdag on Feb. 7 in Utrecht chose the winner of the RIONEDinnovation Award following presentations by the four nominees. The RIONEDdag is the annual congress in the field of urban water management with this year 660 attendees from municipalities, water boards and companies.

The three other nominations were Data driven sewer management; an approach to risk-based sewer management based on the smart-system model, SewerScan; a cost-saving roadmap for detecting fault connections from coarse to fine, and Smart City Water System; a sensor system that continuously measures various parameters of the water in a sewer pipe.
