How Mace Saved 51 Million Liters of Water and Eliminated Leak Claims with Wint
By integrating Wint’s intelligent water management systems across all projects, Mace eliminated pipe-leak claims, saved over £80,000 annually on a single site, and conserved more than 51 million liters of water per year—advancing both risk mitigation and sustainability goals.
Background
Mace Group, a top 10 UK contractor, has a diverse portfolio encompassing construction, development, consultancy, and facilities management. With a commitment to innovation and sustainability, Mace continually seeks solutions that enhance operational efficiency and environmental stewardship.
The Challenge
In recent years, Mace faced significant challenges due to water damage across various projects, resulting in a substantial increase in insurance deductibles – from £50,000 to £250,000. This not only impacted financial performance but also underscored the need for a proactive approach to water management. Additionally, Mace aimed to improve water sustainability across its sites, aligning with its broader environmental objectives.
The Solution
To address these challenges, Mace implemented Wint from day one of every project, making it a standardized and mandatory element of their Flood Mitigation Strategy. Wint’s advanced AI technology enables real-time leak detection and automated water shutoff, preventing potential damage before it occurs. This proactive approach ensures that water management is integrated seamlessly into the construction process, enhancing both safety and sustainability.
Looking Forward
Building on the success of integrating Wint’s water management and leak mitigation platform, Mace plans to continue leveraging this technology across all future projects. This commitment not only mitigates risk and reduces costs but also reinforces Mace’s dedication to sustainability and innovation in the construction industry.
