Stay up to date with the latest news, insights, and industry collaborations from the world of KenWave—where innovation meets pipeline assessment.

AWWA Annual Conference & Expo

KenWave Solutions was proud to exhibit at the 2025 AWWA Annual Conference & Exposition (ACE25), held June 8–11 in Denver, Colorado. ACE25 brought together thousands of water professionals to explore the latest innovations shaping the future of water—and we were honored to be part of it.

At Booth #1228, we connected with municipal utilities, engineers, and industry leaders to showcase how Dynamic Response Imaging™ (DRI™) enables confident, data-driven decisions for buried pipeline infrastructure.

Why Utilities Came to See Us

We shared how DRI™ helps water utilities:

  • Move from reactive replacement to condition-based planning
  • Quantify remaining service life using real, non-invasive measurements
  • Prioritize projects based on actual pipe condition—not assumptions
  • Access rapid, cost-effective insights with no excavation required

Our team also discussed our growing international work and how utilities around the world are using DRI™ to support asset management strategies for aging metallic water mains.

PCW02: Connecting the Dots: Extending the Useful Life of Large Diameter Water Mains Through Innovative Condition Assessment & Rehabilitation

Sunday, June 8, 2025 | 9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m.

Thanks to Scott Jauch and Murat Engindeniz, Ph.D. for organizing and running a great morning session of the pipeline condition assessment and rehab workshop. Really appreciated the chance for KenWave Solutions Inc. to give a quick update on DRI and to hear directly from utilities about the challenges they’re facing with pressure pipe.

The session covered a lot — from failure modes of different pipe materials, to tools for collecting condition data, to real rehab examples from utilities across North America.

On to the afternoon session to hear more stories of assessment and rehab projects direct from utilities.

Why Utilities Are Turning to Dynamic Response Imaging™?

  • ✅ Non-invasive, external technology

  • 🔧 Works through valves, hydrants, and access points

  • 🛰️ Detects wall thinning, pipe class changes, leaks
  • 📏 5–20 ft sub-pipe stick resolution
  • 🧠 Ideal for sub-transmission and hard-to-inspect pipes

  • 📊 Supports capital planning with real-world data

Uzbekistan Pipeline Condition Assessment Project

KenWave worked alongside SUEZ and Toshkent shahar suv ta’minoti to assess approximately 2.7 kilometres of critical water pipelines in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Using DRI™, the team collected high-resolution condition data across steel and cast iron pipelines ranging from 400 mm to 800 mm without disrupting normal operations.

Peer-Reviewed Pipeline Condition Assessment Research

Two peer-reviewed papers presented through ASCE Pipelines 2026 explore the use of Dynamic Response Imaging (DRI™) for assessing critical buried pipelines. Drawing on real-world applications involving prestressed concrete cylinder pipe and asbestos cement pipe, the research demonstrates how measured condition data can support more confident asset management decisions.
