As outlined on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tA7YiKmJjXI&amp;t=1s\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">video<\/a>, the deployment of Eddy\u2019s technology helped protect the property from the builder\u2019s risk period to turnover and will continue for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tA7YiKmJjXI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"> <\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWater is one of the biggest concerns we have in building condominiums. It\u2019s an obvious necessity, but leaking water causes horrific damage to our buildings, and we need to take precautions,\u201d said David Scott, managing director of Edenshaw. \u201cWe\u2019re extremely happy working with Eddy and the services they provide, and we look forward to working with them on future projects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eddy\u2019s holistic system encompasses use of sensors, flow monitoring, and automated shutoff valves, reducing the risk of water-related issues. Connecting to a mobile app and property management dashboard, and backed by 24\/7 monitoring, the system significantly reduces the risk of water damage and overall water waste.<\/p>\n<div class=\"OiH8LERj\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>With an on-valve remote shut-off installed within every main water riser zone, including the incoming water main, working in conjunction with leak sensors throughout the building, the project team was alerted to shut off a valve whenever a leak was detected. In the finished building, Eddy\u2019s system is now a feature for residents, who receive not only overall protection against water damage, but individual insurance discounts as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a collaborative effort to bring Eddy Solutions here at TANU, and we\u2019re thrilled with the success of the deployment,\u201d added Mark Bryant, chief information officer for PCL. \u201cEdenshaw chose to implement the system as part of their ongoing strategy for water control and leak protection.\u00a0 The project aligns with PCL\u2019s digital construction strategy to bring in new technologies to learn from and implement on future projects for clients across our entire portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eddysolutions.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.eddysolutions.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcl.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.pcl.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knowing the damage that can be caused by water, Southern Ontario developer Edenshaw has turned to technology and a partnership &#8230; <a title=\"Video puts spotlight on water leak detection\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/video-puts-spotlight-on-water-leak-detection\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Video puts spotlight on water leak detection\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":10677,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1066,1085],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-posts","category-onsite-magazine","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10676"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10676\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
