Flow-Link monitoring systems for two Timberpak recycling centres

Flow-Link monitoring systems for two Timberpak recycling centres

 

In 2024-25, Flow-5 installed Flow-Link monitoring systems for borehole water supplies at two industrial sites operated by Timberpak Ltd.
 

The primary purpose of installing the monitoring systems was to automate the collection of data required for Environment Agency (EA) abstraction licence returns, specifically flowmeter readings and groundwater levels at each site. The Flow-Link system has significantly reduced the time and resources required for manual measurements, data downloads, and site visits. In addition to regulatory reporting, the systems allow the site operators to monitor the performance of the borehole pumping system, giving early detection of potential issues and enabling annual performance assessments.

 

All information is accessible remotely through the Flow-Link portal helping to minimise the need for routine site visits and manual checks, thereby improving overall operational efficiency and resource management.

The systems are performing well and have been used to provide data for abstraction licence returns in early 2025. Looking ahead, annual borehole performance reviews will be completed, providing valuable insights and helping ensure long-term reliability and efficiency of these borehole supplies.
 
Mark Hayton (Director of Timberpak Limited) provided Flow-5 with the following feedback,
 
Flow-5 have installed two borehole water supply monitoring systems for Timberpak to help automate data collection for EA abstraction licence returns (abstraction totals and water levels) and help understand system performance and receive early notification of potential issues.
 

The monitoring systems are helping us reduce the staff time spent collecting manual measurements and streamlining the abstraction licence return process.

This system also enables efficient data capture and storage to allow for easy and quick retrieval.”
