Every day, AVK solutions help deliver clean water and sustainable energy to millions of people in households and industries all over the world. Innovation is essential to AVK and one of our five core values that act as our guiding principles and set the direction for how we run our business. We focus on innovation and development of new and optimised products of high quality and with a long lifespan. With an innovative approach to the development and design of our products and solutions, we remain adaptive to current and future market demands. Recently, when we had to update some plastic moulds for some of our existing products, the Tech department in AVK Holding A/S together with AVK International and AVK Plast A/S wanted to investigate how we could update the design. In one of the cases, we had a product that needed a lot of machining of the top. To solve that challenge we chose to 3D print the entire inner core in a larger injection moulding tool. The 3D print is produced by the Danish Technological Institute. “3𝐷 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑒𝑐ℎ𝑛𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑦 ℎ𝑎𝑠 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑝𝑒𝑑 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑣𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑚𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑛𝑒𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑎𝑟𝑦.

𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 = 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬 💧💪 AVK's longtime partner, Aarhus Vand, has established a leak detection field and we recently attended the grand opening of it. The purpose of the field is to train and educate the water operators of the future in finding leaks on water pipes. National and international water operators will face all the challenges that reality can present in relation to leak detection. Small "pitfalls" have been inserted in the form of leaks of different sizes and locations. The leak track is located under grass, gravel, asphalt, and tiles. Water pipes in different materials have also been used.   In the real world, we sometimes don't know where water pipes are located. The track is therefore designed so that training in identifying the location of a water pipe is also possible. It is hoped that operators from Denmark and abroad will use the track and become better at finding leaks and thus reducing water loss.   At AVK we work focused to reduce water loss in water distribution to be part of the solution to ensure clean drinking water for everyone. AVK is one of the partners in the project and sees great opportunities in the field. “𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑘 𝑑𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑓𝑖𝑒𝑙𝑑 𝑖𝑠 𝑎 𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑢𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑤𝑐𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑛𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘, 𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑁𝑜𝑛-𝑅𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑒 𝑊𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑢𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛,” says Anders Thomassen, Sales Director, AVK Danmark. 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 🌍 The design and concept of the field can be used elsewhere in the world. In Ghana, Aarhus Vand is building a leak detection field at the Ghana Water Institute, which educates people in leak detection for the whole of Ghana. Here, the water loss is around 50% and therefore the prospects for training are great. In this video 👇 you can learn more about the leak detection field. 👉 Contact us if you want hear more about the possibility to visit and try the track. The leakage detection field is established by Aarhus Vand in partnership with Kamstrup, GRUNDFOS, HeyPipe, Water Valley Denmark, the City of Aarhus and AVK. #AVKgroup #watersupply #watermanagement #nrw #expectAVK AVK Smart Water

𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝’𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 💧💪 A new class of water experts just completed this year's Advanced Water Cycle Management Course, fully updated on the latest trends and technologies.
