Xylem Vue’s Pipe Planner application streamlines infrastructure status monitoring and manages asset replacement plans in drinking water utilities. It uses a risk-based approach to maximize investment impact, helping utilities deliver a reliable, high-quality water supply while pre-empting the detection of potential issues and minimizing customer disruption.

The application, which is part of the Xylem Vue platform, helps utilities to build and implement an optimized pipeline replacement plan that can leverage existing data already collected about their pipeline network to create a more accurate, efficient, and cost-effective approach to pipeline renewal and replacement. It enables optimized decision-making by considering multiple criteria and helping utilities to renew the right assets at the right time.

• Real-time assessment of the condition of distribution pipelines. The solution applies advanced algorithms and analytics that assess critical parameters, such as pipe age, material, and diameter, to determine both the likelihood and consequences of failure for a given asset.
• More efficient renewal and replacement activities, more accurate budget estimates to meet specific goals, and close monitoring of the progress of active projects. The application helps utilities to renew the right assets at the right time.
• Simulation of potential future scenarios that might impact the network, enabling utilities to adjust their plans if needed, to achieve their long-term objectives.
• Advanced monitoring and analysis of pipeline data across the entire asset lifecycle, from installation to replacement.
