ConductVision Enterprise
For water and wastewater utilities, ConductVision watches each chemical delivery for an attending operator, logs biosolids haul-outs and checks plant areas for hard hats and vests.

Water and wastewater utilities manage critical infrastructure that directly impacts public health, operating treatment plants, pump stations, distribution networks, and collection systems that must function reliably around the clock. Equipment failures, process upsets, and security breaches at water facilities carry severe consequences, yet many utilities rely on periodic manual rounds and sensor-only monitoring that miss visual indicators of developing problems. ConductVision's technology can add a continuous visual layer to water and wastewater operations, using treatment plant cameras, pipeline inspection platforms and facility security systems. It can flag process anomalies, wear on infrastructure and security events that sensor data alone misses.
Outcomes
Tankers unload treatment chemicals at the plant's fill stations, and an operator is expected to stay with each one.
An unattended unload can overfill a tank or connect to the wrong fill line with no one there to stop it.
Biosolids trucks leave on a haul schedule, and load counts come from the hauler's tickets.
The utility has no record of its own to check against the hauler's bill.
Operators, contractors and delivery drivers cross plant areas that require hard hats or vests.
Visitors new to the site miss the rules, and the plant has no record of how often.
Treatment plants operate complex biological, chemical, and physical processes where visual indicators such as foam color, settling clarity, and surface scum patterns provide critical process health information that operators traditionally assess during manual rounds. Pipeline networks spanning hundreds of miles degrade from corrosion, root intrusion, and structural fatigue that CCTV inspection reveals only during scheduled assessments. Remote pump stations and reservoirs are vulnerable to unauthorized access and vandalism.
ConductVision can process treatment plant camera feeds to monitor clarifier surface conditions, aeration basin foam characteristics, and chemical feed system operation continuously. Pipeline inspection video can be analyzed to classify defect types and severity automatically. Facility security cameras can provide perimeter monitoring and access verification across distributed assets.

Endpoints
Each endpoint is defined before the pilot starts, with what is counted, its unit and how the results are broken down.
| Endpoint | How it is counted | Unit | Broken down by |
|---|---|---|---|
| PrimaryAttended unload rate | Share of each chemical unload's minutes with a person in view at the fill station. | Unit:% | By:Fill station, month |
| SecondaryHaul-out loads | Biosolids trucks leaving the loading bay, counted once per load. | Unit:loads per day | By:Loading bay, weekday |
| Loading time | Minutes from a truck's arrival at the loading bay to its departure. | Unit:minutes (median) | By:Loading bay, day |
| Plant PPE rate | Share of person-minutes in marked areas with a hard hat and a high-visibility vest worn. | Unit:% | By:Area, week |
Each pilot measures ConductVision on your own footage against a sample checked by hand, before anyone relies on its numbers.
Unload recall

Capabilities
Watches water, wildlife, vessels and smoke at rivers, wetlands and shorelines.
Tracks posture, waiting and movement from pose keypoints in public spaces.
Flags people and vehicles inside the zones you draw on each camera.
Outlines standing liquid on floors, roads and work surfaces.
Counts and tracks people in each camera view, by zone and hour.
Finds each analog gauge in view, with needle reading calibrated per gauge.
Use cases
Cameras positioned above clarifiers, aeration basins, and filter beds can detect abnormal surface conditions including excessive foam, rising sludge, floating solids, and color changes that indicate process upsets. Visual alerts can supplement SCADA sensor data, providing operators with early warning before effluent quality is affected.
CCTV and robotic crawler inspection footage can be analyzed to automatically classify defect types including cracks, fractures, root intrusion, joint displacement, and corrosion. Defect severity scoring can prioritize rehabilitation segments, and automated reporting can reduce the time between inspection and engineering review.
Cameras at treatment plants, pump stations, reservoirs, and chemical storage facilities can detect unauthorized access, perimeter breaches, and suspicious activity. Remote facility monitoring can reduce the need for security guard presence at unmanned sites while maintaining continuous surveillance.
Cameras at overflow structures and outfall locations can detect activation events, estimate discharge volume through visual level assessment, and document event duration for regulatory reporting. Real-time detection can enable faster notification to downstream stakeholders and public health authorities.
Cameras in chemical storage and feed rooms can verify pump operation, detect chemical spills and container leaks, and monitor tank level indicators between sensor readings. Visual confirmation of equipment status can supplement SCADA data for remote operations teams managing multiple facilities.
Cameras at remote pump stations can detect flooding conditions, equipment vibration anomalies, and unauthorized access without requiring on-site personnel. Visual confirmation of alarm conditions can help operators prioritize response when multiple stations report issues simultaneously.
