3 Company Presentation ISO 9001:2015 certified ISO 14001:2015 certified ISO 18001:2007 certified ISO 27001:2013 certified The philosophy of our company is always to provide complete solutions to our clients, supporting technically all the products and services, before and after the sale. We focus to the needs of each client separately and we offer tailor-made solutions implementing high quality products and services, considering always the costprofit ratio, for our customers. Certification Scope: Planning, design, supervision, construction and maintenance of: Telemetry, remote monitoring and control works, electromechanical works, industrial and hydraulic automation systems, security and telematic surveillance systems, information technology and software development works. Import, representation and trading of: Water-meters, metering and control devices and instrumentation, hydraulic, industrial and other relevant equipment.

4 Turn-key/Solutions Design and optimization of water distribution systems (DMAs, PMAs) Domestic & industrial metering Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) Pressure Management Automated Meter Reading Data logging and data hosting Complete telemetry solutions Leak detection equipment and services Pipe inspection and repair Energy saving systems Design and implementation of technical solutions for water and sewage networks-customized softwares

5 Who we are Since 1997 our company has successfully implemented in Greece and abroad: pieces in procurements of water meters of different types & dimensions pieces of logging and remote metering of the water distribution networks operational parameters (data loggers) 448 local control stations for operational parameters (pressure, flow, level, quality characteristics) via SCADA systems 149 Pressure Management systems 101 integrated energy upgrade systems for pump stations 23 contracts of leakage detection in different networks 21 integrated projects of water distribution network management and loss reduction 14 integrated systems for automated meter reading (AMR Walk-by, Drive-by, Fixed Network) 8 integrated GIS, hydraulic modelling, DMAs and PMAs systems

6 Implemented Projects 8 Indicative Complete Turn-key projects for water losses reduction, energy savings and water balance improvement (in the last 5 years) City of Kos, Karditsa, Megara, Drama, Oropos, Argos, Igoumenitsa, Kifissia

7 Implemented Projects Complete Turn-key projects delivered (in the last 5 years) City of Kos, Karditsa, Megara, Drama, Oropos, Argos, Igoumenitsa, Kifissia Water Utility Installations sites Flow and pressure monitoring Pressure Management Quality Kos Karditsa Drama Megara Oropos Igoumenitsa Argos Kifissia Total (two) Turn-key projects (Telemonitoring and Remote Control Systems) under development Florina city, Hydra island in Greece

9 The Integrated Remote Control System (IRCS) in Igoumenitsa city, Greece Water Operator Municipal Water and Sewerage Company of Igoumenitsa Project Objective Financed Budget Timeframe Installation and Operation of an Integrated Remote Control System in the Water Supply Network of Igoumenitsa City, Greece Cohesion Fund, Greek National Funds, Municipal Water and Sewerage Company of Igoumenitsa euros (VAT not included)

10 The Integrated Remote Control System (IRCS) in Igoumenitsa city, Greece The Drinking Water Supply Network of Igoumenitsa Capital of the regional unit of Thesprotia Coastal city located in north-western Greece 25,814 inhabitants (2011 census) High touristic area Drinking water extracted from underground aquifers and surface water Two sources (Skefari and Seratia) in the northeast and southeast of Igoumenitsa city Several drillings and reservoirs 95% of the water comes from drillings, while 5% water sources System Input Volume and Consumption 2013 Water System Input Volume Water Losses NRW (% SIV) Municipal Unit Consumption (m 3 ) approx. (m 3 ) (m 3 ) Ex-ante 1 Parapotamos ,02 2 Perdika ,20 3 Margariti ,22 4 Syvota ,33 Reduction of NRW (% SIV) Ex-post Average 57,44% 15%

16 Outputs and Results Quantitative Indicators Results (1 st year of operation) Reduction of Energy Costs 22% Reduction of operating and administrative costs of drinking water distribution (minimizing HR costs) No need for regular travel to remote field locations 14% Reduction of Non-Revenue Water 15% Application of new technological standards (measuring equipment) minimize water losses 6 Detection time of leakage in the entire network Reliable calculation of water losses, frequent access to detailed data and data security Improve relations of trust among consumers and services/customer Complaints Reduction Real time 22% 30% Water Quality Improvement 100%

17 Outputs and Results Qualitative short and long term result indicators Reliable calculation of water losses, frequent access to detailed data and data security Capacity building of Water Operators, simple software and easy integration into the WSN Application of innovative tools and methodological approach in the whole water supply network Highlight the importance of quantifying water losses in high touristic areas Long term cost savings Avoiding billing errors that end in consumers complaints Decision-making based on reliable data and not on ' estimates ' or ' knowledge or experience ' Better overall management of drinking water (consumption profiles per household day, period, region, etc.) Socially fair drinking water pricing in compliance with WFD

18 Next Steps Application of the integrated monitoring system to the entire WSN of Igoumenitsa s water utility Redefinition of the existing DMAs and PMAs Application of an integrated monitoring system of water consumption through the replacement of obsolete water meters with smart water meters of high metering accuracy Connection of the metering consumption system with the Central Control Station through the utilization of specialized software Establishment & training of water operators using appropriate hardware and software for the system s operation improvement (Maintenance Planning and Asset Management) & the monitoring of appropriate indicators Decision Support Tool for the Development and Infrastructure Master Planning Prioritization (short-term & long-term, ie pipeline replacement plan) Connection with existing accounting systems for the development of Full Water Cost Recovery strategy and pricing policy according to WFD 60/2000
