UK water technology business, i2O Water has moved to a new building on the University of Southampton Science Park to support its growth.``
 The business, which was awarded two British Engineering Excellence Awards in 2010, now employs 40 people and is growing rapidly. It has installed its technology to tackle water leakage in the UK, Malaysia, Spain, Italy, Mexico, South Africa and the Philippines and expects to double its staff in the coming year.
"We needed to move to larger premises to support the company's significant growth over the last 12months," said Adam Kingdon, i2O Water's ceo. "We want to provide a really good working environment for our employees. We are planning to double the number of staff over the next year to cope with the demand for i2O's technology and the new building will accommodate the workforce as it grows."
Last year, i2O's cto, Andrew Burrows won a BEEAs award for Design Engineer of the Year for his work on the company's advanced pressure management system. He also won the Grand Prix, which was selected by Judges from winning entries in the Awards programme.
The system has been designed to deal with the worldwide water shortage problem and works by managing pressure on water distribution networks, continually adjusting and controlling the pressure so that it is kept to the optimal level throughout the day and night. This significantly reduces leakage and the number of new bursts, and therefore saves huge amounts of water. Not only that, disruption caused by roads being dug up to find leaks and repair burst mains is substantially reduced.
