SWEEP-leak detection project

Funder: NERC SWEEP Programme

Working with: Professor Richard Brazier and South West Water

Postdoctoral fellow: Dr David Luscombe

 

Summary: Funded by SWEEP (The South West Partnership for Environmental and Economic Prosperity), this project is part of a new initiative that will help deliver economic and community benefits to the UK's South West, whilst also protecting and enhancing the area’s natural resources.

​

My role in this project is to deliver a research project that develops, tests and validates the use of drone-based thermal imaging techniques for improving water resources sustainability - specifically aimed at the detection of leaks from underground pipes.
