This involves the maintenance and renewal of existing assets
such as pipe networks, pumping stations and treatment plants. The
‘Common Framework for Capital Maintenance Planning’ has catalysed
thinking on asset management and risk in the UK water industry.
Ofwat – the economic regulator – expects companies to continue to
develop their risk-based planning approaches for the 2009 price
review. To meet this challenge, it is important to develop good
asset information strategies and to understand how interventions
affect service risk.
Mott MacDonald supports water companies in the implementation of a
Common Framework approach to capital maintenance planning. Our
service spans all aspects of the planning cycle:
Our strategic analysts provide advice on investment planning
processes and the integration of relevant systems, from critical
reviews of existing approaches to helping clients develop and
introduce new business processes.
Our highly-skilled modelling team develops asset performance models
and detailed investment plans ready for delivery.
We help develop successful asset and risk management solutions
because we work closely with our clients to gain familiarity with
their business processes, drivers and customer service objectives.
We understand that it is the people and processes that ensure
successful delivery of competent strategies. However, the
strategies need to be supported by asset information systems to
provide the data and planning tools necessary to inform robust
investment decisions.
