Water Company Pavilion
A must-visit for anyone looking to see the real-world impact of the UK’s water sector. We are thrilled to host four of the country’s leading water companies under one roof:
Yorkshire Water - Improving MEICA Asset Health at Yorkshire Water: Yorkshire Water is leaning heavily into data and predictive maintenance. Their exhibit details the development of an Asset Health Risk calculator, which uses condition-based scoring from field instrumentation to prioritize repairs before failures occur. Stop by to see the tools they’ve developed to date and get a glimpse of the future of predictive MEICA health.
United Utilities - The Big North West Upgrade: With a staggering £13 billion investment on the horizon, United Utilities is embarking on its most ambitious plan yet. Their stand focuses on "The Big North West Upgrade," a massive initiative aimed at creating a stronger, greener, and healthier region. Visit them to learn how they are scaling their delivery and rising to meet the logistical challenges of such a monumental transformation.
Severn Trent - AMP8 Challenges, Opportunities, and Innovations: Severn Trent is opening the floor to a two-way dialogue regarding the upcoming Asset Management Period. They will be showcasing the cutting-edge innovations currently in their toolkit while actively seeking new products and ideas to tackle their key priorities. If you have a solution for the challenges of AMP8, this is the place to share it.
Wessex Water - Rising Main Pigging Demonstration: For those who prefer a hands-on look at network maintenance, Wessex Water is bringing a full demonstration rig to the show. They will be showcasing physical pigging - a technique used to clean waste network rising mains to improve pumping efficiency and reduce H2S odors. It’s a masterclass in how routine maintenance can extend asset life cycles and reduce spill frequency.
The Pavilion isn’t just a showcase; it’s a hub for the vital work driving our industry forward, fostering the partnerships required to meet regulatory challenges and drive large-scale infrastructure efficiencies.
Live Demo Area
In this interactive area, CP Automation will demonstrate metering solutions and software to aid the reporting of energy consumption and power quality, and their different technologies that mitigate harmonics from variable speed drives to improve performance and efficiencies in pumping systems. Join the CP Automation team at:
Lovibond’s sessions will focus on the Lovibond Section 82 Kit for monitoring performance of permanently deployed sensors and online monitoring technology, and the Lovibond PTV 1000 Turbidity meter for the low level turbidity monitoring of final treated drinking water. Join the Lovibond team at:
Evergreen Water Solutions will exhibit their High Pile Cloth Filter, demonstrating how easily this cloth filter can be removed and replaced within a system. Join the Evergreen Water Solutions team at:
Pump Operations Challenge
Join us throughout the day for the Pumps Operations Challenge! Watch teams from across the industry showcase their skills, going head to head to rebuild a Vogelsang pump and be crowned champions of the Water Equipment Show 2026.
Don’t be left behind as the industry evolves. Join us at the Telford International Centre on Thursday 14th May 2026 to build the connections that will define the future of the water sector.
