FEATURED SERVICES

System Performance

District Metered Areas (DMAs): Isolate portions of the water network for precise monitoring and water balance determination.
Non-Revenue Water Evaluation: Systematic process to characterize water use and identify opportunities for reducing non-revenue water (NRW).
Leak Detection: Field crews with the latest sensor technologies deployed to areas with high NRW to identify the most effective rehabilitation locations.
Dashboards and Real Time Analytics: Combine SCADA, billing, and DMA sensor data using the BaseForm analytics platform to track trends, identify anomalies, and summarize field activities.

Condition Assessment & Asset Inventory

Survey: Collect accurate system attributes to populate your asset inventory and perform analysis.

SSES: Conduct smoke testing, manhole inspections, CCTV assessments, and dye testing to determine collection system conditions and identify inflow and infiltration-related defects.

Flow Monitoring: Full flow monitoring services for gravity and pressure infrastructure with array of sensors to provide accurate and usable flow data

Facility Inspections: Perform discipline-specific condition assessments of vertical infrastructure, such as treatment plants and pumping stations, to populate your asset inventory and support asset planning decisions.

Engineering & Planning

Hydraulic Modeling: Create models of collection and distribution systems to characterize system deficiencies and identify needed improvements
Risk Assessments: Evaluating assets based on the likelihood and consequence of failure risk.
Funding Forecasting: Identify long-term funding needs to meet projected R&R costs based on asset inventory, conditions, and expected useful lives.
Master Planning: Create a defensible CIP using standardized criteria that identify and prioritize improvements based on future performance triggers so infrastructure is ready when it is needed.
Funding Support: Facilitate the acquisition of supplemental and alternative funding sources for improving asset inventories and performing rehabilitation.

In America alone, over six billion gallons of water are lost each
day due to leakage and accounting issues.

Effective water asset management services can help organizations reduce costs associated with water use and ensure sustainable water management practices.
