Next-generation smart water network for performance-driven asset management

该项目旨在开发智能供水网络系统和技术，用于连续监测和早期检测供水系统的结构故障。水资产是关键的基础设施，它们由老旧的地下管道网络组成，在澳大利亚，每年的维护费用超过10亿美元。该项目预计将提供下一代智能水务技术，能够持续评估供水管网的实际性能，指导“及时”更换管道并优化运营。这项技术将帮助资产管理公司做出明智的决策，从战略上优先考虑投资，延长资产寿命。

This project aims to develop smart water network systems and techniques for continuous monitoring and early detection of structural failure in water distribution systems. Water assets are critical infrastructure, and they consist of a network of buried pipes that are old and deteriorating, with an annual maintenance overhead exceeding $1billion per year in Australia. This project is expected to deliver next-generation smart water technology that enables continuous assessment of the actual performance of water pipe networks, guide “just in time” pipe replacement and optimise operations. This technology will assist asset managers to make informed decisions, strategically prioritise investment and extend asset life.
