Integrated Platform for Networks

Description

YW seek an integrated platform as managing separate, disconnected systems for each functionality creates operational inefficiencies, increases the risk of data gaps, and complicates timely decision-making. Having all required capabilities within a single, unified solution ensures a holistic view of the network, seamless data flow between modules, and faster, more effective operational responses. The integrated platform must deliver all of the following functionalities within a single, unified solution (not as separate modules across different, disconnected systems): - Blockage Prediction: Identifies early signs of potential blockages within the wastewater network, based on abnormal patterns detected through flow or level data. This enables proactive maintenance to prevent incidents before customer impact or pollution occurs. - Network Spill Forecasting: Estimates the likelihood of network spills based on rainfall, capacity, and system behaviour. The goal is to trigger early operational interventions to avoid environmental non-compliance and reduce pollution events. - Pumping Station: Tracks pump activity across the network, identifying underperformance, abnormal operation, or potential failures. This helps improve operational visibility, reduce downtime, and support asset efficiency. - Customer Sewer Alarm (CSA): Provides alerting mechanisms in customer-facing parts of the network where issues such as blockages or overflows could lead to property flooding. It allows for early warnings before customers are affected using both digital and analog pressure data. - Burst Rising Main Detection: Assure accurate burst detection to prevent and reduce the impact of pollution from pressurised sewage mains; - Excess Water Detection: Detects excess water entering the wastewater network from sea, river, ground or misconnected rainwater, causing spills, damage and inefficiencies. The platform must be fully developed and commercially available. For clarity this means the product is not in early-stage development, not unproven, and not awaiting first deployment or first operational results. The solution must have already demonstrated successful outcomes with other water companies, preferably within the UK and particularly with other WASCs. The platform must be capable of integrating with core utility systems (e.g., SCADA, telemetry, SAP, GIS) and must meet minimum interoperability requirements to interpret data from devices and sensors currently deployed in our network. ## Contract award
