A waterproofing system that incorporates a network of sensors to detect minute breaches in reservoirs could save the water industry millions of pounds, according to its UK developer. The Hylam IQ system has been dubbed the 'intelligent membrane' by thermoplastics specialist DRC Polymers, which has just completed its first installation at a reservoir in Cumbria. Managing director Ken Bray claimed the waterproofing system could significantly cut the cost of pinpointing and repairing leaks in reservoirs — an expensive and disruptive process.
