Water networks

Data-driven management of your network allows you to make thoughtful, actionable choices in the right place at the right time, driving the value and efficacy of your actions. Today, there is an array of technologies, software, and services to help us better manage our water networks. However, many of these tools are not designed for interoperability so that utilities can gain maximum benefit from their investment. At SUEZ, we serve as a provider and integrator of digital, technology, and service solutions that result in significant operational performance, capital spending, risk reduction, and level-of-service improvements for utilities and their end-users.
Operational & asset performance
Assessing your network’s operational and asset performance is key to providing effective solutions. SUEZ evaluates your network performance using a combination of your existing data, technology, and employee inputs along with our portfolio of solutions to estimate the current and future state of your assets. From break reduction to pressure management, to replacement planning; we can help you gain significant performance improvement along with cost efficiencies.

SUEZ supports your asset data collection and evaluation needs to determine the correct course of action. Based on thousands of miles of operational experience and working with nearly all of the top technology, software, and analytics providers in the industry; we  deliver utilities effective strategies to get the most of their assets and budgets.

Specifically, we can provide network-wide support for:

  • Optimized planning for monitoring and inspection technologies.
  • Data integration and evaluation of inspection and monitoring data.
  • Extrapolations of data across the entire network, where applicable.
  • Optimized re-inspection, monitoring, and replacement plans.
Long-term planning
SUEZ offers a holistic methodology that leverages algorithms, intelligent automation, and computational intelligence to simultaneously balance cost, risk, and level of service against an explosion of factors utilities must grapple with to better serve their communities.

Utilities are no longer limited by human capacity and could run any number of scenarios and combinations in just hours, not weeks to evaluate a breadth of operational and capital planning strategies. This outcome-based analysis regularly results in efficiencies of at least 30% compared to manually developed strategies.
