Case Study: Northumbrian Water achieves safer, more accurate underground asset mapping with 1Spatial

Northumbrian Water saves over £400,000 in 3 years with 1Spatial

Northumbrian Water faced the challenge of managing its underground assets, particularly in accurately mapping the depth of buried pipes. This was difficult due to inherited records from acquisitions and unreliable historical data from changing field technologies. To address this, the water company worked with vendor 1Spatial, utilizing their 1Integrate product and an inference solution.

1Spatial designed a new data model to infer pipe depth based on known business rules. This solution is estimated to save Northumbrian Water over £400,000 across three years through reduced roadwork delays and less damage to pipework. The project, implemented by 1Spatial, enables safer operations and minimizes disruption to the water supply.
