Water (AI) Pipe Predictor

PART OF APPLIEDINSIGHT

Reduce your pipe replacement costs with our Water (AI) Pipe Predictor.

Solve future problems, today. Easily visualize and predict likelihood of pipe failures, interruption to customers, waste-water collapses, flooding and pollution incidents.

Get Started

Visualize likelihood of pipe failure

Upload your data sets and use our geo-visualization technology to better plan your maintenance works and analyze the performance of your assets through the platform. Create inhouse risk and condition assessment models, to optimize multi-year maintenance plans for pipe replacement, forecast risk and proactively prevent pipe failures and more.

Identify high risk pipes

Quickly identify high-risk water and wastewater pipes. See where your problems lie. Predict water pipe failures, interruption to customers, waste-water collapses, and flooding and pollution incidents. And quickly prioritize your response. W(AI)PP is an easy-to-use, quickly deployable app which allows you to predict failure and understand performance, moving from reactive to proactive asset management with a clear view into the performance of individual pipes.

Outcomes you can trust

Advanced analytics at your fingertips, supported by proven experience in artificial intelligence and machine learning specifically designed for the water sector. Plan with confidence, knowing you're powered by an engine this has been proven in the most rigorous regulated water industries around the globe.

Plan with confidence

Get the insights you need to create robust, data-driven investment decisions. Balance corporate risk and investment performance with insights you can trust. Intuitive and easy to understand, with no need for a data scientist. Take advantage of more than 20 years of artificial intelligence and machine learning expertise in a single app, specifically designed for the water sector.

Advanced analytics for business users

You don't need a data analyst to make the most of your data. Now everyone has access to advanced analytics for better decision-making and business performance. Get enterprise-level results in an affordable single app. Advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning for any size of water organization. Proven to provide 60% more accurate predictions than traditional age-based prioritization methods for more sustainable planning.

Create optimized plans

The Optimizer feature in W(AI)PP allows you to use your asset data and set up intervention plans based on the probability of failures calculated on the platform. WAIPP calculates likelihood of failure (LoF) of Water/Wastewater pipes and combines consequence of failure (CoF) values to assess risk. The app then runs an optimization that allows you to pick pipes for replacement based on budget constraints and risk goals. Create a multi-year maintenance plan can become part of a Capital Investment Plan (CIP).

Benefits

Enterprise-level results in an affordable single app. Advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning for any size of water utility.

Have confidence that you're making the right decisions for your business, with typical efficiency savings of 20% so you can maximize the value of your capital investment budgets through proactive instead of reactive pipe replacement.

Get setup in days with minimal training required, on a safe and secure cloud-based app, for immediate business insights.

Have confidence that you're making the best decisions for your business, your customers and your shareholders. You’ll be powered by an engine that has been proven in the most rigorous regulated water industries around the globe.

Quickly visualize and identify high risk pipes that are most likely to fail now and into the future. Make investment decisions that will lead to financial and operational success.

Machine learning enables you to understand the performance of individual pipes. Start leveraging the value of the data in your current GIS system.

Understanding how water and wastewater distribution performs

We have a clear aim to understand how our water distribution and wastewater networks perform and deteriorate over time, helping us understand the best options to balance investment and customer service objectives.

Don’t worry – you will have the data – you'll already be using it to make decisions within your current process; it’s just probably not organized in a single storage. Our team of Analytics experts can walk you through the process of collating your data into the format required by the app. Additionally, we have a detailed library of atypical asset performance for your sector that has been gleaned from over decades of engineering knowledge and client assignments; we can provide you with this for free.

Arcadis Gen has over 20 years of expertise in the use of advanced optimization. Our optimizers are the result of years of postdoctorate research and have been audited by some of the biggest infrastructure organizations around the globe. We were the first to use genetic algorithm (GA) optimization for complex investment challenges in the utilities sector. Gen's apps primarily use linear optimization which provides exceptional speed of calculation and the ability to generate outputs in near real time. Still not convinced? Our Analytics team are happy to talk through the technical detail.

We have developed and successfully deployed these solutions over the last 20 years; Arcadis Gen's Analytics and Data Scientists have extensive knowledge of your sector and the algorithms have been tested with organizations like yours; our team would be delighted to share this knowledge with you.

To use the WAIPP Map, you’ll need to upload a third geometric data file, with these requirements:

Uploaded in .zip format
Contains Shape file and supporting files
Location of Asset ID information should be in polygon data or line data
In this file, the Asset ID for each asset must match the Asset ID in both the Assets and Failures datasets that you upload.

The machine learning algorithm within WAIPP has the ability to identify and predict the pipes that are at high risk of failure. You can combine your maintenance costs and consequence of failure with probability of failure data from WAIPP, build different budget and risks scenarios in the desired timeframe, visualize and compare your plans and understand how failure varies depending on the budget allocated.
