We understand the importance of ensuring that your assets are upgraded appropriately to meet customer demand. Incorporating optimization techniques into your pipe replacement program assists in the planning process by identifying the optimal mix of replacement, relining and abandonment for any particular system. We offer customized software to make this process more efficient and cost-effective for you.

Optimatics' OptiCritical and OptiRenewal software takes into account industry-specific workflow procedures and allows you to:

• Identify the highest risk pipes within a distribution system
• Prioritize pipes for replacement
• Determine the optimal replacement plan over a given timeframe.

Your mains replacement strategy can now:

• Prioritize pipes for replacement based on both probability and consequence of failure 
• Minimize distribution system risk associated with pipe breaks 
• Minimize infrastructure investment required to achieve risk reduction and also maintain or improve system hydraulic performance 
• Avoid unnecessary replacement of aged pipes that have a low risk profile 
• Consider risk, system hydraulics, cost and staging all in the one framework 
• Be undertaken in a transparent and objective process.

See our Asset Management fact sheet for more information on the benefits of incorporating optimization into your replacement program.
