MRP – Mains Replacement Prioritization

From Advantica website:

Mains Replacement Prioritization (MRP) Water is an intuitive new decision support tool which helps you to predict the ongoing condition and performance of your assets so you can plan an optimal replacement program. MRP Water lets you combine structural condition prediction from a range of asset maintenance, quality customer and service level information to allow a holistic replacement program that meets the drivers and policies of your utility exactly.

MRP provides you with a geospatial tool that:

• Computes the future condition of water mains
• Predicts the rate of change in condition and performance over time and future deterioration
• Allows for the evaluation and comparison of different multi-year replacement programs
• Facilitates the development of replacement strategies based on capital expenditure budgets, or regulatory requirements for replacement or leak reduction

MRP takes data inputs from sources including:

• Asset data (location, material and age)
• Deterioration and maintenance data including repair history and failure type
• Level of service data on water quality and complaints
• Hydraulic Model input, such as reliability and fireflow
• External data from other utilities

Advanticaג€™s Mains Replacement Prioritization software will help you to:

• Optimize capital investments, both short and long term, by targeting replacement and rehabilitation.
• Improve operational planning and customer levels of service by reducing leaks, unplanned repairs and water quality incidents
• Balance Condition and Network Performance, and optimize the life of network assets, by predicting future reliability
• Manage and demonstrate regulatory compliance by establishing proactive, transparent and auditable Asset Management.
