Trusted by Finnish water utilities — built for the network's real complexity

Preventos Hero is in daily production use across Finland, and the methodology behind it has been refined through years of customer projects in wastewater, stormwater, and water-supply networks. Three publicly named references and a path from 2018 to today — below.

Production deployments

2018

First customer project

Network domains served

Public references

Three utilities, three different uses of the same platform

The three references below are publicly named with customer permission. Additional Finnish utilities are part of the Hero customer base; their names are not published on this page.

Vaasan Vesi

Vaasa · Wastewater

2024–present Wastewater I/I analytics deployment — catchment-level infiltration & inflow with weather correction.

Hero in production for catchment-level I/I analysis across the wastewater network.

Kuopion Vesi

Kuopio · Wastewater & water supply

2024–present Water supply Pressure and pressure-transients measurement on the distribution network.
2023–present Wastewater Level and flow measurement service for gravity sewers.

Hero in use across both the wastewater and water-supply sides of the same utility.

Kuopion kaupunki

City of Kuopio · Stormwater

2023–present Stormwater Precipitation, flow and level measurement service in flood-risk area.
2023–present Stormwater Precipitation measurement service for the city area.
2023–present Stormwater Precipitation–runoff–flow model of a stormwater system.

Three concurrent stormwater projects on a single Hero environment.

Sized to scale

From major utilities to small water cooperatives — same Hero environment

City-scale deployments

Utilities like Vaasan Vesi, Kuopion Vesi, and Kuopion kaupunki — multi-catchment networks with dozens of measurement sites, SCADA integration, and full I/I analytics in production.

Mid-sized municipal utilities

Targeted deployments — a single catchment, a flood-risk area, a leak-investigation campaign — using the same Hero platform with a smaller measurement footprint.

Small water cooperatives

Lightweight Hero environments scaled down to a handful of sites. Same analytics, same data-quality scoring, same defensible numbers — at a fraction of the deployment effort.

2018–2019

First customer projects: leak-detection campaigns and flow measurement services for Finnish municipal water utilities. Foundation for the methodology that grew the company into a data-integration and analytics company.

2020–2022

Pumping-station data analysis services consolidated, first stormwater modelling projects delivered, Preventos Hero platform beta deployments. Customer base expanded from small municipal utilities to mid-sized city-scale utilities.

2023

Hero enters production. Named reference projects this year:

Kuopion Vesi — level and flow measurement service for gravity sewers (wastewater).
Kuopion kaupunki — precipitation, flow and level measurement service in a flood-risk area; precipitation measurement service for the city area; precipitation–runoff–flow model of a stormwater system (all three stormwater).

Additional Finnish utility projects this year: leakage estimation based on pumping-station data, and a wastewater-sewer overflow and flood-alarm service (customer names not published here).

2024

Hero in full production across the wastewater, stormwater, and water-supply domains. Named reference projects this year:

Vaasan Vesi — network work in collaboration with Ulefos expertise, with catchment-level I/I analytics and weather correction (wastewater).
Kuopion Vesi — pressure and pressure-transients measurement on the distribution network (water supply).

Additional Finnish utility project this year: flow measurement service for a waste-management site (customer name not published here). 2024: Ulefos becomes a part-owner of Preventos — the partnership opens access to the Nordic markets and Ulefos serves as Preventos' sales organization for Finnish water utilities.

2025–2026

I/I analytics deployment continues to expand across Finnish water utilities, and the asset-management optimization module enters pilot. Sales collaboration with Ulefos starts in full, and Nordic expansion begins to advance through the Ulefos partnership.
