Solutions - Wint for Construction

Water management and leak mitigation for construction sites

The Challenge

Water is the single biggest risk factor in construction projects

A water leak can set a project back weeks or months and cost a fortune. Leaks that happen at night or over the weekend will go unnoticed, and leaks in an upper floor are bound to flow downstairs, damaging floors below, elevator shafts and equipment.

Even if you’re insured, deductibles can be significant, and premiums may rise. Will you even deliver the project on time? The damage to your reputation could be incalculable.

Protect Temporary and Permanent Lines from Water Damage

Temporary lines are frequently a source of issues on construction projects. Because these lines and the water users they feed are temporary, their quality is relatively low; moreover, these pipes’ placement at the site makes them prone to damage from equipment, tools, and accidents.

Significant waste can go on for long periods of time on construction projects through continuous flows to drains from temporary employee areas.

During and after commissioning of water lines, pipes and fixtures are susceptible to leaks and breakage. A single bad fitting can break after hours and flood the site, causing massive damage during the project’s final stages.

The Solution

Mitigate Water Risks on Construction Sites with Wint

Wint mitigates water damage through accurate detection and automatic shutoff.

Wint is deployed on construction sites from day 1, when temporary lines are brought in; new systems are gradually added to protect permanent lines as they are put in.

Detect leaks in real-time

Wint detects leaks as they happen, instantly alerts staff and can automatically shut off water to stop leaks from growing to catastrophic proportions.

Ensure continuity

Wint ensures construction project continuity and prevents expensive downtime by monitoring flows and detecting leaks before damage spreads.

Do what’s right for insurance

Water is the top cause of claims in construction. Wint helps meet insurer requirements, reduce costs, and improve coverage terms.

Cut consumption and waste

Leaks and malfunctions can waste thousands without notice. Wint reduces both leaks and usage, cutting costs and boosting sustainability.

A dramatic reduction in water damage that insurers care about

A study by Munich Re found that sites using Wint experienced significantly less water damage, insurance claims and payouts compared to sites without Wint.
