Technical improvement

Maintenance and repair of the infrastructure often cause better effects than investment in new infrastructure. But systematical approach is recommended.

Often a fragmented organisation in the technological cycle leads to no efficient technical operation of the utilities: Maintenance and repair is not efficient; deficient leak detection leading to increase in losses; incomplete documentation, mapping and visualisation hinders priority setting.

Click the link to view the various aspects of improving the technical operation, which have to be considered.

Evaluation of physical conditions of facilities

• It is necessary to investigate on the system components of the facilities in order to evaluate the improvement potentials

Reduction of unaccounted losses and metering

• Methods for the reduction of unaccounted losses and the concept of metering will be introduced

Leak detection

• Leak detection for the water distribution system through the use of the appropriate methods and equipment will be introduced

Documentation and visualisation with modern tools

• Documentation and visualisation are vital aspects of waterworks and might include: => system inventory => network maps => repair statistics

How to do efficient maintenance and rehabilitation

• Improvement measures and tools for achieving the optimum maintenance and rehabilitation potentials are essential

How to improve the efficiency of operation

• Tools and methods for the proper operation will be introduced in order to improve the efficiency potentials

Intern audits

• The concept, necessity and implementation of intern audits for the improvement of the operation will be acquainted
