Water Asset Management
Getting more out of water assets, safely and efficiently
Australian water utilities are responsible for managing and maintaining their water assets to ensure the reliable delivery of safe, high-quality water services to their customers. They must balance the need for infrastructure maintenance and upgrade with the need to minimise water loss, reduce costs, and manage risks effectively.
To ensure longevity, we offer a broad suite of solutions that enable our customers to continue providing reliable and efficient services to communities through the assurance of safe, sustainable infrastructure. This includes condition assessment and the development of asset management strategies, systems and processes, as well as asset policy, framework and strategy development through to asset data management initiatives delivering asset hierarchies, asset numbering systems, asset registers and associated asset attribute information.

We provide asset owners with ongoing engineering support and program management for all stages of the asset life cycle to fulfill performance, legislative, compliance requirements as well as cost optimisation, supported by our rapidly evolving use of data, advanced analytics, and digital technology capabilities. These digital technologies allow safer internal and external inspection of assets, minimising risk to personnel and improving the records capture and digital model development of inspected assets.

Scanning and modelling
High definition laser scanning in live water asset environments provides numerous benefits that can improve safety, efficiency, and decision-making. KBR’s capabilities are not restricted to the capture and processing of data, they also include the use of data for design, feature extraction, visualisations, animations and using 3D Point Cloud models for other applications including virtual and augmented reality. The varying formats, applications and tools provide the ability to seamlessly design and construct an optimised solution.
Our models can also be used to enhance constructability through HAZOP and CHAIR workshops, and for briefing stakeholders and suppliers to plan remediation works, calculate the quantity and location of scaffold, the amount of equipment and materials needed and to identify laydown areas and exclusion zones. This data enables increased collaboration and can be reused or repurposed by the client for added value.
