Client Background

ABC Manufacturing is a manufacturer of automotive parts with facilities across the UK. Despite their success, they faced escalating operational costs, particularly in water usage.

Their outdated systems and lack of real­time monitoring led to inefficiencies and rising expenses, prompting them to seek innovative solutions to optimise water management.

Challenges

High Water Bills: Water bills had increased by 15% annually, primarily due to inefficient water use and undetected leaks.

Outdated Infrastructure: The facility’s water systems were outdated, leading to wastage and higher maintenance costs.
Sustainability Goals: The company aimed to improve its environmental footprint but lacked the expertise to implement effective water-saving measures.

Solutions Implemented

Water Audit: Our team conducted a thorough audit to identify inefficiencies, including outdated fixtures and undetected leaks.

Smart Metering: We installed smart water meters across the facility, providing real-time data on water usage. This enabled quick detection of irregularities and leaks.

Efficient Fixtures: The introduction of water-efficient fixtures and systems, such as low-flow toilets, all to significantly reduce water consumption.

Results

Reduced Water Usage: The facility achieved a 25% reduction in water usage, translating into substantial cost savings.

Annual Savings: By cutting down on waste and improving efficiency, ABC Manufacturing saved over £100,000 annually on water expenses.

Improved Sustainability: The company enhanced its sustainability credentials, aligning with environmental goals and attracting eco-conscious clients.

Operational Efficiency: The modernised systems reduced maintenance needs, lowering operational costs and improving overall efficiency.
