Tenchijin Inc., one of the leading space technology companies, announced a partnership agreement with Premier Water Services (PWS), one of Malaysia’s prominent water solutions providers, for the distribution of KnoWaterleak in key Malaysian territories as of 1 May.
This strategic partnership combines Tenchijin’s innovative satellite-based water leak detection technology with PWS’s extensive network and expertise in the Malaysian water sector. PWS, which currently serves as the exclusive distributor for global industry leaders such as Diehl, Nivus, and Aichi Tokei, will leverage its established relationships with major water utilities to accelerate the adoption of KnoWaterleak throughout Malaysia.
Strategic Partnership Benefits
The collaboration aims to address critical water infrastructure challenges in Malaysia through:
- Integration of KnoWaterleak’s satellite-based monitoring system with existing water management infrastructure
- Enhanced leak detection capabilities for water utilities across the three regions
- Improved water conservation and infrastructure maintenance efficiency
Our partnership with PWS represents a significant milestone in our expansion into Southeast Asia. Malaysia’s commitment to water infrastructure modernisation perfectly aligns with our mission to revolutionise water management through space technology. Through this collaboration, we aim to demonstrate how satellite technology can transform the way we manage and conserve water resources. This partnership will not only benefit the Malaysian water sector but also serve as a model for sustainable water management across Southeast Asia.

About Tenchijin COMPASS KnoWaterleak
Tenchijin COMPASS KnoWaterleak is an advanced cloud-based mapping service that leverages satellite data and AI technology to support efficient leak inspections for water utilities and contractors. Using data from multiple satellites and open data sources, it identifies high-risk areas for leaks within 100m2 zones. A key feature of the system is its integration with digital water supply registers and distribution pipe maps, enabling centralised management of leak risk through a 5-level evaluation system. The intuitive interface enables real-time data monitoring, facilitating rapid leak detection and repair planning.
Through regular registration and management of leak locations, the AI continuously reassesses risk levels based on accumulated data, improving accuracy over time. Field demonstrations conducted with the Cabinet Office and various municipalities in 2022 have shown potential cost reductions of up to 65% in inspections and time savings of up to 85% in investigations.
The system has received high recognition for its technical excellence and ease of implementation, earning the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare Prize at the 7th Infrastructure Maintenance Grand Prize.
