Our finance
We fund smart water solutions. As the lead contractor for a tailored Metering-as-a-Service (MaaS) solution, we offer customised financial strategies and provide comprehensive support for all your smart water programme needs.
Why asset finance
As the prime contractor for a tailored Metering-as-a-Service (MaaS) solution, we provide more than just off-balance sheet funding. Our approach delivers a comprehensive and customised financial strategy to support your smart water programme.
- Reduces capital constraints on the speed of roll-out.
- As assets depreciate and carry long-term risks, our approach ensures you avoid technical debt while still gaining access to real-time, data-driven insights. This empowers you to deliver meaningful outcomes for both your business and residential customers without the burden of asset ownership.
- Tailored funding designed across the four AMP cycles, delivering a positive impact on the current value of your expenditures.
- Our supply chain remains flexible by avoiding exclusive agreements, allowing us to adapt and optimise solutions. As a major purchaser of both energy and water meters, we actively drive market efficiencies. These cost savings are passed directly to our customers, delivering greater value.
- Backed by one of Europe’s most dynamic independent fund managers, with an aggregated portfolio value of €22bn, we provide guaranteed and continuous funding.
- Your solution can be further tailored to include funding for additional assets and services that enhance and accelerate your overall offering.
Let our dedicated team of experienced water industry experts help shape your vision, strategy, and programme design. Their passion, focus, and expertise will be invaluable to the success of your smart water programme, ensuring you achieve your goals with confidence.
What we fund
We fund smart water solutions that go beyond traditional financing to include data-enabled smart assets. For example, we fund smart meters, flow and pressure sensors, PRV controllers, acoustic noise loggers, vibration sensors, water quality sensors, CSO monitors, sewer alarms, and more.
Our Metering-as-a-Service (MaaS) model ensures smart water programmes are outcome-focused, allowing you to concentrate on core business deliverables while we handle implementation with cutting-edge technology. Additionally, we take on the asset risks, providing peace of mind and confidence in the success of your programme.
Smart meters
Tracking real-time water usage, detecting leaks, and providing detailed consumption data to optimise water efficiency and cut waste. Vital for modern water management, empowering users to save resources and utilities to improve network efficiency.
Flow and pressure sensors
Monitoring water flow rates and pressure levels to identify leaks, bursts, and inefficiencies in distribution networks. Essential for maintaining reliable and resilient water infrastructure, ensuring consistent service and minimising waste.
PRV controllers
Regulating and adjusting pressure in water systems to prevent pipe damage, minimise leaks, and improve delivery performance. Crucial for extending the lifespan of water networks while reducing costs and conserving resources.
Acoustic noise loggers
Identifying and pinpointing leaks in water pipes by detecting the sound of escaping water, boosting network efficiency. Key for early leak detection, helping to minimise water loss and maintenance expenses.
Vibration sensors
Detecting unusual vibrations in pipes to monitor structural integrity and uncover stress, leaks, or faults. Indispensable for preventing costly infrastructure failures and ensuring reliable water delivery.
Water quality sensors
Analysing key parameters like pH, turbidity, and contaminants to ensure the water supply remains safe and clean. Critical for safeguarding public health and maintaining compliance with regulatory standards.
CSO monitors
Measuring combined sewer overflow events to manage stormwater effectively and reduce pollution in local waterways. Vital for protecting the environment and improving waterway health during periods of heavy rainfall.
Sewer alarms
Alerting operators to blockages, overflows, or anomalies in sewer systems to prevent flooding and contamination. Essential for mitigating environmental risks and ensuring system reliability.
