Hydro International acquires Hydro-Logic, adding hydrometric monitoring products and services to its water management portfolio.

Hydro International has acquired Hydro-Logic Ltd (trading as Isodaq Technology) and Hydro-Logic Services LLP, expanding its range of water quantity and water quality management products with the addition of monitoring products and data, analysis and advisory services that will provide customers with new insights to help improve water management, reduce flood risk and minimize pollution.

This acquisition is transformative both for Hydro International and for the industry,” said Michael Jennings, Chief Executive of Hydro International. “Hydro-Logic technology and expertise removes uncertainty and ambiguity and will enable us to offer unprecedented insight into the design, installation and operation of water management solutions, saving money for customers, reducing risk and helping them to protect the environment.

Isodaq Technology’s products provide instrumentation and information systems for water environment monitoring applications, including data logging, telemetry and software. These products add a new dimension to Hydro International’s capabilities, providing insight into the character of water to help customers better design, install, operate and maintain water management products, and helping Hydro International to enhance and improve its flow control and water treatment products to better meet customer needs.

Hydro-Logic Services LLP provides specialist hydrological and water management consultancy, often using Hydro-Logic Ltd products to collect and analyse real-world data and applying the findings to support planning decisions, optimise hydraulic and network design, increase water system efficiencies and reduce flood and pollution risk. These new services add a comprehensive data, analysis and advisory service to Hydro International’s existing services portfolio, and bring new expertise to the Hydro International team.

“We're looking forward to being a part of an expanding global business,” said Rod Hawnt, Managing Director of Hydro-Logic Ltd. “I'm immensely proud of what we've achieved as Hydro-Logic, but joining Hydro International is going to take our products, services and our people further than would otherwise have been possible.”

“Adding Hydro-Logic's products and services represents a step change in our capability, and the new technologies and expertise broaden and deepen every aspect of our business,” said Michael Jennings. “The monitoring products will help our customers to understand their water quantity and water quality in completely new ways, and the data, analysis and advisory services will enable us to design solutions that meet customer needs more closely than ever before.”
