Using advanced risk analytics to make data-driven decisions about asset reliability and pipe prioritization helps utilities to significantly reduce operational failures and the cost of maintenance and replacement of critical assets.
Regardless of your pipeline network’s size or age, Xylem’s approach to distribution main intervention efficiently and cost-effectively analyzes your data – pipe break history, age, impact of pipe segment failures to both dollars and service loss, and more – to identify the distribution mains that are in most in need of attention. Further analysis can refine these results even further, identifying clusters of high-risk pipe segments so you can efficiently prioritize pipeline replacement strategies.
WHY CHOOSE ASSET PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
Unlock the potential of your data to support data-backed decision-making for more accurate risk identification and intervention planning.
- Understand risk - Deepen the understanding of current and future asset risk levels to reduce water main breaks.
- Conserve resources - Free up valuable resources for other projects.
- Prioritize asset intervention - Increase CapEx and OpEx efficiency on utilities’ most critical assets.
- Improve customer satisfaction - Deliver better service with fewer interruptions.
ACHIEVE NEW LEVELS OF VISIBILITY AND DRIVE ASSET INTERVENTION PLANS
A clustering analysis provides utilities a plan to replace aggregate groups of pipes, rather than individually, which minimizes both customer disruption and mobilization costs.
Let's see how clustering analysis was used to help Raleigh Water in North Carolina reduce product planning time by 75% while reducing breaks across their network.
