Seven stages, currently bridged by spreadsheets.
The demonstrator focuses on Asset Investment Planning and Operations & Monitoring — the two stages where new evidence from EDM, CIM and Data Mill North can close the loop on the £2 bn of residual risk.
Maintenance & replacement standards inherited; not consistently reviewed against new evidence.
Standards adapt to observed failure data and climate scenarios; feedback loop closed.
Top-down (EDA/Arcadia) and bottom-up (PROAM) plans don't reconcile. New EDM & CIM evidence not yet integrated.
Reconciled plan with system-level risk surface, optioneering against £-at-risk and ODI exposure.
Site access treated as cheap; jobs not optimally bundled by contractor, geography, or criticality.
Work packages optimised against criticality and access cost; SAP-aligned dispatch.
Component-level fixes recorded; root cause and cascade context lost between systems.
Job outcomes captured against system model; root-cause and downstream impact recorded.
~65,000 alarms/year; operators lack system-level view of which alarms threaten compliance.
Alarms triaged against time-to-non-compliance; the 6 that matter surfaced.
Outcomes reported in regulatory cycles; actual risk reduction delivered by investment rarely validated.
Each investment package tracked against the risk it was meant to mitigate.
Lessons not systematically fed back into engineering specs or risk models.
Closed loop: observed performance updates standards, criticality, and option valuations.
Two parallel value streams
Every stage runs across Water Provision (clean water) and Waste Management (wastewater) — the demonstrator anchors on the wastewater side at Scarborough.
Water Provision
- 1Raw abstraction & storage
- 2Raw water treatment
- 3Distribution network
- 4Customer metering & end use
Waste Management
Demonstrator anchor- 1Sewer network conveyance
- 2Storm overflow management
- 3Wastewater & sludge treatment
- 4Discharge & catchment return
From silos to closed loop
The demonstrator wires Planning and Operations together — and shows where the rest of the lifecycle plugs in.
- TodayPlans don't reconcile with operational evidence.
- TodayCriticality is static and asset-level.
- TodayOutcomes never feed back into specs or risk models.
- TargetRisk surface refreshed with EDM, CIM, AMI signals.
- TargetOptioneer evaluates packages against £-at-risk & ODI.
- TargetClosed loop: delivery validates the risk it mitigated.
