How IoT Sensors Are Detecting Underground Corrosion in Real Time
Imagine a water main bursts under a city street, flooding a neighbourhood, costing millions in repairs. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how IoT sensors are now detecting underground corrosion in real time — before pipes fail. They dive into a case study from a midwestern US city that retrofitted 500 cast-iron water mains with wireless corrosion sensors. The sensors measure galvanic current and wall thickness, transmitting data via LoRaWAN every six hours. The city caught three incipient failures in the first year alone, saving an estimated $4 million. Lucas explains the chemistry…
