Volunteering to solve water and create a better world is a shared passion that brings together Xylem colleagues around the globe. In 2022, 87% of employees, or more than 15,000 colleagues, volunteered through the company’s social responsibility program, Xylem Watermark – collectively dedicating 157,000 hours to education about water challenges, expanding access to safe water and sanitation, and supporting communities in crisis, among other focus areas. We asked five of Xylem’s most active volunteers, members of Watermark’s Make Your Mark club, to share what inspires them most about solving water.

Innovative utility builds resilience, while protecting bottom-line, through proven digital solution

Everyone is talking about digital twin technology, but what are its most practical applications and benefits for water utilities? Let’s take a look.

Monique Terry shares her journey from engineering student to continuous improvement leader, driving innovation, mentoring talent, and championing diversity at Xylem.

Join us onsite for a day in the life of a PipeDiver inspection with pressurized insertion and extraction. See how the team uses specialized standpipes to launch and remove PipeDiver from a live pipeline without disrupting service.

Every hour the UV system can treat as much drinking water as almost nine Olympic swimming pools.

Utilities can safely manage prestressed concrete cylinder pipe by detecting the early warning signs of a failure. So, what should utilities look for when assessing this type of pipe?

To find out more about how Xylem is applying data science in the real world, Making Waves is profiling some of our experts on the power and potential of distilling data into actionable insights.

Pipeline damage can happen even with a robust integrity program in place. Third-party damage during excavation, natural disasters, and even material defects from manufacturing can put your pipeline at risk.

The public water utility in Paris, France, inspected a critical, nearly 100-year-old drinking water pipeline for leaks without disrupting service.

Pure Technologies' SmartBall platform can ensure product containment beyond the detection limit of any other LDS. In this blog, we’ll explore five ways this tool benefits an integrity management program by providing complete confirmation of containment.

Finding a leak quickly helps mitigate the impact of releases on people, property, and the environment. Pipeline operators can detect and locate leaks with high precision using Pure Technologies' SmartBall® platform.

Baxter McCoy’s journey at Xylem began with a high school career fair and led to a dynamic role in cybersecurity. From the paint shop to Product Security Engineer, discover how his ambition, curiosity, and passion for technology helped him grow his career and protect global infrastructure.

Pure Technologies partnered with a southeastern U.S. utility to inspect a 24-inch potable water main in late 2015. The team inspected 9 miles (14 km) of the critical pipeline with the inline PipeDiver® platform.

Advances in technology and data analytics now enable utilities to manage pipelines through continuous, incremental investment rather than planning for end-of-life replacement. This approach reduces the overall cost of ownership by preventing failures and avoiding the unnecessary and disruptive replacement of assets with remaining service life.

Water utilities are increasingly focused on building resilience to cybersecurity threats across their networks.

More than a decade of pipeline inspection and monitoring positions Miami-Dade County as a leader in managing aging infrastructure.

Obtaining actionable condition insights helps utilities prevent sudden and high-consequence PCCP failures. But is your asset management plan equipped to prevent tomorrow’s failures? Explore three ways you can ensure PCCP assets operate safely over the long term.

Collecting condition data is critical for proactive pipeline management. Being able to make effective decisions on that data is just as important. Learn how advanced structural analysis helps utilities get more out of their inspection data.

Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe (PCCP) is the most inspected pipe in the world, with a proven track record of very low distress rates in most cases. Despite its reliable performance, just one bad pipe section can result in a pipeline failure.

Two entrepreneurs turned to Xylem with an extraordinary project: they wanted to breed shrimp in the Alps, without using chemicals and antibiotics.

In the middle of Luneburg Heath, far from any major body of water in northern Germany, Heidefisch GmbH focuses on continuous water circulation and treatment.

Pure Technologies' Spectrum XLI technology is deployed on autonomous boats to accurately measure depth of cover, depth of water and elevation profiles.

While leak detection and inline inspection (ILI) are different areas of pipeline integrity, the use of inline leak detection tools can support ILI results.
