KenWave Solutions, RJN Group Announce Partnership
Toronto, Ontario-based KenWave Solutions Inc. and RJN Group Inc. have formed a strategic partnership to bring KenWave’s Dynamic Response Imaging (DRI) technology to water utilities across the United States. This will be under RJN’s Advanced Vibroacoustic Analysis (AVA) offering.
This partnership combines KenWave’s patented non-invasive, external pipeline assessment technology with RJN’s trusted presence and engineering expertise in water infrastructure. It offers utilities a smarter, safer, and more accessible way to understand the condition of critical pipeline assets. Importantly, this is achieved without taking them out of service.
DRI works from the outside in — applying vibroacoustic signals through existing access points like valves and hydrants to make pipelines “sing.” The resulting vibration data is analyzed to identify wall thinning, pipe class changes, and potential failure risks with 5- to 20-ft resolution. Therefore, it is ideal for sub-transmission and distribution mains.
“RJN is an experienced and respected partner, and we’re thrilled to work together to help utilities move from assumptions to actionable insights,” said Elia Rizkalla, president of KenWave Solutions. “This partnership will enable more communities to proactively manage aging infrastructure with clarity. It will also reduce cost, complexity, and risk.”
RJN will lead the field deployment of the technology to municipal and industrial clients across the U.S. KenWave will continue to provide the technical leadership, analysis, and engineering support that defines the DRI experience.
“KenWave’s mission has always been to simplify condition assessment without compromising on data quality,” Rizkalla added. “Working with RJN allows us to accelerate that mission and reach more utilities. Specifically, those looking for non-invasive, high-resolution tools to support their capital planning and asset management efforts.”
Together, KenWave and RJN are well-positioned to serve a growing need for cost-effective, accurate, and low-risk approaches to pipeline inspection. This is especially true in aging water systems where shutdowns are not an option.
