Industry Overview

Share

Water & Water Infrastructure carries a regulated quality obligation across buried assets nobody can see, funded through fixed price control periods. Across various engagements in multiple geographies, iFortis Worldwide has engineered intelligence into Network Leakage Intelligence, Treatment Process Optimization, Asset Renewal Intelligence, Water Quality Intelligence, Pump Energy Optimization, Customer Enquiry Automation, Sewer Network Intelligence, Water Reporting Automation, Field Operations Workforce and Capital Programme Intelligence, always above licensed, safety assured treatment control.

Key impacts

  • Network Leakage Intelligence. Leaks were found through customer reports and periodic step tests across very large metering areas.
  • Treatment Process Optimization. Dosing followed conservative standing instructions that used more chemical than the raw water needed.
  • Asset Renewal Intelligence. Mains renewal was prioritised by age alone, with no view of the consequence of failure.
  • Water Quality Intelligence. Sample results returned from the laboratory days after the water had reached customers.
