InfoNet

Infrastructure Management for Water & Sewer Networks

InfoNet is a purpose-built Infrastructure Management System (IMS) for water distribution, wastewater collection and stormwater networks ensuring informed, swift and cost-effective decision making both for day-to-day operational management and for long-term network planning. Designed for operations managers, engineers and planners in the water industry, InfoNet enables users to manage, integrate, validate, analyze, and report on their network data to provide accurate, auditable, up-to-date information and report on network infrastructure and performance, presented in easy to use formats.

Strategic Network Planning

InfoNet enables planners and engineers to plan, construct, rehabilitate and maintain their water and sewer networks with a risk-based approach that leads both to greater efficiency and also to compliance with legal requirements to identify and safeguard critical assets. InfoNet makes substantial enhancements to the hydraulic model build process through its seamless integration with the InfoWorks modeling suite. Automatic verification, inference and data tracking allow the quick creation of hydraulic models and maintain the full range of network information to enhance engineering decisions. Planners can apply InfoNet’s analytical toolset to a consolidated and complete network data store to make logical, prioritized and cost effective decisions about its future.

Data Storage, Management and Analysis

InfoNet enables the integration of a wealth of different applications and data sets already in use including generic GIS, corporate databases, CMMS, field data systems, SCADA, hydraulic modeling and analysis software or other corporate applications to ensure that managers have a clear single picture of their network infrastructure. With a robust query engine, users can filter, sort, and make complex selections based on virtually any criteria related to their underground assets. InfoNet also includes the unique ability to query against field surveys (CCTV, manhole inspections, smoke testing and valve inspections) and other events related to network assets.

Operational Planning and Management

InfoNet provides operators, consultants and contractors a central hub from which routine and reactive maintenance of a network can be managed. The specialized database allows the storage of not only all asset data, such as pipes, pumps and valves, but also survey information, network incident and repair information. Schedules and work orders can be effortlessly created and data passed simply between cooperating parties using InfoNet Snapshot files. InfoNet can also store a list of all available parts and materials and easily track what has been utilized for each assigned work task, allowing detailed analysis of maintenance processes.

Rich Results Presentation and Reporting

The InfoNet geospatial environment lets the user create thematic maps with flexible symbology and rich detail. Its built-in report generator comes with dozens of standard reports or allows users to quickly build custom reports and graphs against any data stored in the system. In addition, management dashboards make it possible to track level of service metrics and other key operational data, allowing an at-a-glance assessment of the past, present and future state of assets.
