Description
Aqua America is a large water and sewer utility serving eight U.S. states. The utility faces the challenge of efficiently maximizing the management of aging infrastructure in more than 50 wastewater systems in Pennsylvania alone. In 2023, Aqua contracted GHD to implement a Consolidated Planning Level Sewer Program in Pennsylvania, addressing dispersed data sources of condition assessment data and best practices for capital improvement planning at the state, regional, and local levels. This presentation will address the obstacles encountered during the project, and showcase the integration of the Autodesk Info360 Asset and Esri ArcGIS Online cloud platforms to help Aqua efficiently manage significant volumes of closed-circuit TV (CCTV) inspection and other condition assessment data—along with tools to prioritize the riskiest assets, identify projected rehabilitation approaches, and establish capital improvement budgets.
