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 is pleased to be attending the 2026 AWWA Annual Conference & Exposition (ACE26), taking place June 21–24, 2026, in Washington, D.C. ACE26 brings together thousands of water professionals to explore the latest innovations, strategies, and technologies shaping the future of water infrastructure, and we look forward to being part of the conversation.

Visit us at Booth #438 to connect with the KenWave team and learn how Dynamic Response Imaging™ (DRI™) enables confident, data-driven decisions for buried pipeline infrastructure. Our non-invasive vibroacoustic approach helps utilities assess critical pipelines without taking assets out of service, supporting smarter capital planning, risk prioritization, and long-term asset management.

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
