# Good Engineering Starts With Good Data

Hydrus Works field survey teams collect the flow, pressure, temperature, leak, and performance data your facility needs, to close instrumentation gaps, support projects, identify energy losses, and build utility models that reflect how your systems actually operate.

## Online Instrumentation Only Tells Part of the Story

Most facilities operate with incomplete visibility into their utility systems. Sparse measurements, outdated drawings, and assumptions that haven’t been validated in years leave teams making decisions against data they can’t fully trust.

Our field surveys fill those gaps with direct measurement, at the equipment, in the piping, and across the site. Whether you need current operating data for a project, energy loss quantification for a cost reduction initiative, or model-ready measurements to feed into a utility simulation, we can get it.

## Energy Audit Services

Undetected leaks, failed steam traps, and degraded insulation quietly drain energy budgets year after year. Our energy audit surveys locate, quantify, and prioritize those losses so your team can act on them, with documented findings, estimated dollar impact, and a clear path to recovery.

We document severity and estimated loss so teams can prioritize repairs, recover capacity, and reduce operating cost.</p></div></details><details class="accordion accordion--plus card "><summary class="accordion__summary"><span class="accordion__title">Steam Leak Surveys</span></summary><div class="accordion__content" style="opacity: 1; visibility: visible;"><p style="font-size: 20px;">Locate, tag, and quantify steam and condensate leaks across the facility. Because we’re not tied to any supplier, our findings stay focused on what the system actually needs, not what’s easiest to sell.</p></div></details><details class="accordion accordion--plus card "><summary class="accordion__summary"><span class="accordion__title">Steam Trap Surveys</span></summary><div class="accordion__content" style="opacity: 1; visibility: visible;"><p style="font-size: 20px;">Identify failed, blowing, flooded, or underperforming steam traps.

## Utility Performance Surveys

When the question is how the system is actually performing today, not what the design said it should do, you need field-measured data. Our utility performance surveys capture current flow, pressure, and temperature conditions across liquid systems, giving your team the operating baseline needed for projects, troubleshooting, and utility models.

<details class="accordion accordion--plus card "><summary class="accordion__summary"><span class="accordion__title">Cooling Water Surveys</span></summary><div class="accordion__content" style="opacity: 1; visibility: visible;"><p style="font-size: 20px;">Measure flow, pressure, and temperature across cooling water networks to understand current distribution, identify underperforming exchangers, quantify operating margins, and support optimization or future projects.</p></div></details><details class="accordion accordion--plus card "><summary class="accordion__summary"><span class="accordion__title">Firewater Surveys</span></summary><div class="accordion__content" style="opacity: 1; visibility: visible;"><p style="font-size: 20px;">Assess firewater flow performance, hydraulic limitations, and distribution bottlenecks so teams can improve emergency readiness, validate system condition, and plan upgrades with better data.</p></div></details><details class="accordion accordion--plus card "><summary class="accordion__summary"><span class="accordion__title">Other Liquid System Surveys</span></summary><div class="accordion__content" style="opacity: 1; visibility: visible;"><p style="font-size: 20px;">Capture flow, pressure, and performance data for service water, clarified water, plant water, potable water, safety showers, and other liquid systems to identify root-cause issues, quantify bottlenecks, and support projects or corrective actions.</p></div></details><details class="accordion accordion--plus card "><summary class="accordion__summary"><span class="accordion__title">Flow, Pressure &amp; Temperature Measurements</span></summary><div class="accordion__content" style="opacity: 1; visibility: visible;"><p style="font-size: 20px;">Measure operating conditions across any utility system to verify baselines, close instrumentation gaps, support troubleshooting, and improve model calibration for projects and ongoing operations.</p></div></details>
