About The Project 

Aquamec’s Smart Water Management initiative modernized municipal water systems in Brazil through a dual-offering model. The first sales point centered on self-closing pressure valves, which reduced waste, stabilized distribution, and directly lowered non-revenue water losses. Complementing this hardware, the second sales point was the Smart Water Management System (SWMS), which is a digital monitoring and analytics platform (built with Almaviva) that paired with the valves to provide real-time data on flows, leaks, and consumption. Together, the two components created an integrated solution that appealed to municipalities both for tangible infrastructure improvements (valves) and long-term operational intelligence (SWMS).

The technology comes from Aquamec's partner company Almaviva and the project spanned multiple Brazilian municipalities (e.g., Campinas, Salvador), requiring complex stakeholder management, multimillion-real negotiations, and integration of international partners. By linking financial analysis (EVA/ROI), technical systems deployment, and public-sector strategy, the initiative demonstrated how digital + physical solutions can unlock efficiency in essential infrastructure.
