Make water risk a controlled variable, not a surprise.
Eddy is the managed water-protection service for active job sites. Sensors at risers, mechanical rooms and temporary fixtures, with a 24/7 monitoring center confirming every alert. PCL prevented an estimated $8.3M in losses across 11 projects in their first year with Eddy.

Protect every job site from the events you cannot see
Supported 24/7 response
Sensors connect to a monitoring center. Every alert is confirmed by a CSR before escalation, so superintendents only get the calls that matter.
Remote and automatic shutoff
From the My Eddy app, on site or 100 miles away, the team can isolate water at the main, the zone or the fixture. Configurable per project.
Detection where you cannot see
Wireless sensors cover risers in closed shafts, fire-rated walls, mechanical rooms and concealed runs. Pipes account for 52% of construction leaks, most of them in places visual inspection will not catch.
From breaking ground through warranty handover
Pre-construction
Eddy's team plans sensor and gateway placement against the MEP drawings, six months before mobilization where possible. PCL budgets for Eddy at the proposal stage.
Active construction
Monitoring runs through every phase. The Winnipeg high-rise project deployment caught a top-floor pipe strike overnight, with the team shutting the valve remotely from offsite. $750K+ in damage mitigated on that single alert.
Warranty and conversion
When the construction system stays in place through warranty, latent defects show up early. The Winnipeg project converted to permanent operational monitoring after a $100K+ post-construction event.
Our superintendents and project managers consider Eddy essential on every project. We educate pre-construction teams to budget for it from the proposal stage.
AVOID DELAYS AND REWORK
Construction-phase remediation costs five to ten times less than post-occupancy. Catch the event when the wall is still open, the schedule is still recoverable and the trade is still on site.
REDUCE INSURED AND BELOW-DEDUCTIBLE LOSS
Most water loss events on a job site land below the policy deductible, meaning the GC absorbs them. Eddy's data trail makes those costs visible and preventable. Northbridge offers a 25% discount on Eddy's smart leak protection system to all of its construction policyholders.
Common questions from GCs
At proposal or pre-construction. PCL budgets it from the bid stage and treats it as a shared risk between GC and client. Sensor and gateway layout drawings happen six months before mobilization where possible.
Most sensors and gateways are wireless and install in days. Main and zone valves require plumbing and electrical trade work. The Winnipeg high-rise project deployment ran roughly $65K in equipment plus monitoring and $70K in trade install across a 24-month, 80-sensor project.
Configurable. Many projects (a 320-bed long-term care home, the Winnipeg high-rise project, several US university campuses) convert to permanent operational monitoring post-occupancy. Construction-phase coverage stays in place through warranty so latent defects surface early.
Northbridge offers a 25% discount on Eddy's smart leak protection system to its builders risk customers. AXA XL recognizes Eddy through its Construction Ecosystem and co-publishes a budget tool with us. Carriers like Zurich, Intact, AIG and Aviva recognize the system in underwriting.
The bigger story is below the deductible. Most construction water loss events never trigger a claim, the GC absorbs them. Documenting them through Eddy is what changes the renewal conversation.
