The Challenge

Having enjoyed significant growth over recent years, Connexin were seeking a trusted partner with shared values to support their ongoing smart water meter technology roll out and their ongoing expansion into advanced connectivity.  A large part of this involves supplying utilities providers with smart metering over IoT networks which enables greater monitoring, improved efficiencies, and reduced costs. Having a greater visibility is critical for water utilities, a sector which faces significant challenges in areas including leakage, pollution, and tracking consumption.

How did CHH help?

With a proud track record supporting alternative networks (AltNets) to accelerate the roll out of fast and reliant broadband, CHH were able to provide a one stop shop solution for smart connectivity.

Our experienced Design, Engineering and Manufacturing divisions were able to manage the whole process from helping decide what equipment was required to designing an optimised water leakage monitoring kit whilst aligning to their social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

Products and services

Design, engineering and production of Active Outdoor Cabinets and kits for smart water meter leakage monitoring devices.

The results

The roll out of Connexin smart water meter leakage monitoring kits enables devices across the network to communicate with one another in real-time and provide live insights across the network.

This is helping utility customers across Essex and Suffolk Water, Yorkshire Water, and Severn Trent Water to rapidly detect water leaks to minimise wastage and reduce carbon emissions from manual meter readings and the proposition is continuing to roll out across the UK.

As a trusted partner, we continue to work closely with Connexin by providing bespoke kits to support the installation of smart water meter leakage monitoring devices including a power supply, antennae and a pack of parts and brackets used for mounting the meters onto lamp posts.

Key learnings

Our robust sustainability strategy aligned with Connexin’s vision and commitment to Net Zero and we have formed an ongoing partnership to provide cabinets and kits, and this will extend through our Managed Services division to ensure Connexin engineers have everything they need for a successful installation.
