OWWA NextWave 2026 Conference
The Ontario Water Works Association (OWWA) NextWave Conference brings together utility leaders, engineers, and operators focused on advancing water system performance through innovation, asset management, and practical field solutions. Hosted at the Niagara Falls Convention Centre, this year’s event runs from May 4–7, 2026 and highlights technologies and strategies that support resilient, data-driven infrastructure planning.
KenWave will be exhibiting at Booth #701 and presenting alongside Peel Region on how external vibroacoustic inspection data is being integrated into real-world asset management frameworks. Visit us to see how utilities are moving beyond traditional condition assumptions toward calibrated, data-informed renewal planning.

Turning Pipe Vibrations into Renewal Priorities: Peel’s Data-Driven Approach
Wednesday, May 6th @ 1:30pm ET
Speakers:
- Imran Motala, Peel Region
- Sebastien Perrier, KenWave
Peel Region operates one of Canada’s largest water distribution systems, with over 4,700 km of watermains and more than 420 km of aging metallic infrastructure requiring proactive renewal planning.
In this session, Peel will present how they evaluated multiple condition assessment approaches and integrated external vibroacoustic inspection data into their Decision Support System. By calibrating deterioration models with field-validated data, Peel has improved prediction accuracy, reduced uncertainty, and strengthened its ability to prioritize high-risk assets.
This is a practical look at how inspection data moves beyond reporting and into capital planning decisions.
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
