Every year, trenches are opened without full knowledge of existing infrastructure, resulting in damage, interrupted services, and even physical injury. We support streetworks coordination services with web-based solutions that provide visibility of existing infrastructure and planned works to public and private-sector organizations, significantly reducing infrastructure damage and accidents. As well as protecting network assets, these services also greatly reduce the time and expense operators face in responding to information requests.

Our field automation solutions connect engineers with the information and capabilities they need to work efficiently and effectively. By providing direct connection between office and field, they also improve the currency and accuracy of enterprise records and deliver enhanced operational insight across the business.

We have designed flexibility and interoperability into our mobile solutions, offering a range of client technologies enabling water utilities to deploysolutions that match the needs of different use cases and user groups. They include tablet and smartphone apps, web browsers, and laptop clients and the provision of web services, APIs, and functional components for integration with third-party products. This flexibility enables organizations to deploy solutions to meet their operational needs, as well as the skills and expectations of their staff.

We support a range of spatial visualization and analysis techniques that can be applied to infrastructure, operational, and environmental data to give enhanced insight into asset performance and risk.

These include simple map production of the network with each section of pipe color-coded based on its condition, or advanced capabilities, such as applying hotspot analysis to identify clusters in leakage data or incidents of flooding from sewers. Analysis can also beforward-looking, such as actively looking for conditions that present elevated levels of risk. For example, using spatial overlays to find where cast iron pipes have been laid in acidic soils, or where assets such as pumping stations or treatment plants are at risk from flooding.The techniques provide valuable insight that can inform decisions and actions – from prioritizing inspections to directing investment in renewals to improve asset performance.
