DSEAR Analyser

The data driven solution to determining explosion risk

All water companies manage and operate assets that are subject to Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR), and they are responsible for classifying the level of explosion risk for every asset.  

The level of explosion risk impacts the cost of maintaining and operating the assets as well as the precautions that must be taken by operational staff. Our data-driven solution provides DSEAR assessments for all sewerage assets through the innovative application of special analytics. 

By taking a root-cause approach to risk assessment, our DSEAR Analyser is able to precisely locate points within the network that are at risk. This method moves you away from the industry-standard procedure of “blanket zoning,” a process where the risk extent is unknown and everything is determined to be at risk. 

Datasets to determine potential source risks

Assessments can be updated through automation, data mining, and digital transformation.

  • Use of GIS/data analytics to identify unforeseen risk 
  • Fuel station locations
  • Fuel storage licence holders who store fuel on-site
  • Ground models based on LiDAR 
  • Client sewer models 
  • Historic traffic incident data 
  • Fuel tanker routes 
  • Prerequisite conditions for methane 
  • Natural gas
