Accelerate digital transformation of traditional wet infrastructure
management into intelligent simulation-driven management

AquaTwin Asset

AquaTwin Asset is the leading AI-powered, simulation-based self-service water, wastewater and stormwater condition assessment and risk-based capital planning software for Esri® ArcGIS Pro®. It lets you address short-term infrastructure challenges through effective maintenance spending while extending the lifespan of critical aging assets under frequently changing conditions and building resilient and sustainable infrastructure for the future. And armed with advanced analytics and hydraulic network simulation capabilities, you can innovate and validate like never before.

Built exclusively on ArcGIS Pro®, AquaTwin Asset is a powerful feature-packed software for intelligent asset management of water, wastewater and stormwater systems. It lets utilities automate inspection work, measure asset performance, determine remaining useful life for all assets, evaluate infrastructure capacity shortfalls under population growth and climate variability, pinpoint assets at highest risk considering both likelihood and consequence of failure, identify root causes and patterns, and prioritize repair and replacement activities. It also enables them to prolong operational lifespan and value of aging assets, predict future asset performance, optimize capital planning, and secure business continuity resilience. Users are able to maximize their assets’ life cycles through sustainable infrastructure strategies and investments, making it possible to achieve the operational efficiencies and the future they envision while bettering their communities.

AquaTwin Asset Pro

Urban drainage and sewer systems are facing increasing pressures due to an aging, deteriorating infrastructure further impacted by climate change, and rapid urbanization rates. Common risks in these types of environments include structural failures, service disruptions, flooding and associated environmental and public safety risks, and local area damage. AquaTwin Asset Pro was specifically designed to help utilities plan system improvements to strengthen and optimize their infrastructures at the lowest possible costs and highest efficiency. The software provides a powerful, seamless integration to the industry-standard EPA SWMM5 engine, adding cutting-edge hydraulic, hydrologic and water quality simulation capabilities and allowing sewer infrastructure capacity analysis results to be incorporated into risk/criticality assessment.

Automate Field Investigation

Build defect datasets from archived CCTV videos and use built-in Machine Learning to inspect more pipes, faster, better and cheaper and automate ongoing inspection projects.

Assess Simulation-Based Risk Levels

Use built-in analytics to determine and score the likelihood of failure, consequence of failure including hydraulic performance impact, and business risk exposure of each asset and better manage and prioritize repair.

Isolate Individual Risk Factors

Leverage cutting-edge built-in algorithms to trace the root causes of (factors having the highest impact on) asset deterioration/failure and take corrective actions while driving long-term performance improvements. This includes pipes, valves, pumps and tanks.

Determine R&R Priorities

Use built-in risk framework, considering condition prediction, life-cycle cost analysis and criticality/resilience assessment, to prioritize needed improvement.

Build Water Infrastructure Resilience

Simulate and analyze water infrastructure resilience; determine how your infrastructure will perform during disruptive incidents and how to best absorb, recover from, and adapt to such incidents.

Develop Optimized CIP

Create prioritized, costed capital improvement projects using fully configurable R&R decision diagrams to optimize capital investments.

Evaluate System Capacity Under Uncertain Climate Change

Quantify system risk in terms of reliability, resiliency, and vulnerability. Identify hydraulic capacity shortfalls resulting from climate variability (e.g., changes in temperature and precipitation magnitude).

Benefits

Water and wastewater utilities are struggling to close the widening gap between their wet infrastructure funding needs and availability. Let AquaTwin help you optimize the performance of your assets to increase reliability and availability, minimize costs, reduce operational risks, keep your community safe, and plan and shape a better, more sustainable future. What’s more? You can get up and running quickly with minimal training and start making informed decisions that will lead to financial, operational and business success.
