Sanitation and distribution management
The exploitation of water supply and sanitation is carried out via the Geographic Information Systems. This is about establishing where all points integrate and adapt all corporate systems and tools related to the daily management of the supply, like the Distribution Management System and the Maintenance Management System.
Distribution Systems
The Distribution Management System is an integral information system integrated in the GIS, which allows us to be aware of the operative state of the supply network and its repercussion on its users at all times.
In this system the clients’ topological-hydraulic relations are established with the resource “water”, which offers geographic references on the location of every one of the agents which intervenes and how many events then come about.
Among the multiple advantages, what is very noticeable is the rapidity of detecting possible punctures and subsequent resolution, via the analysis of the causes and effects derived from the same, optimizing the use of the resources used. In this way, this tool allows for the easy determination of the area that must be cut off and managing to reduce the amount of clients affected thanks to the knowledge of the sectorization of the network and the information studies of action to be carried out to minimize the effect of the puncture. Also, it achieves the improvement of planning and preventative maintenance control of the networks and assures monitoring and control of network renovation projects.
The Distribution Management system allows for management which is focussed on the supply and the extension of applications according to operative needs. Among its functions the following stand out:
- Planning and monitoring of works in the network, identifying supply zones that are being worked on.
- Monitoring of the state of the network in real time. Maintenance operations on the network affect its operative state, reflected in the incident system or puncture detection.
- Connection to the Telephone Control Centre, thus allowing for the geographical location of incidents which have been communicated by our clients as well as the traceability of warnings that we receive.
- Generation of work orders for the maintenance teams and posterior registering of the result of every action, including mobile terminals for field work which allow for immediate updating of information.
- Preventative maintenance via the integration of asset management.
- Project management, design of constructive solutions for new channelling and localization of urban development.
- Network Problem Management, monitoring and control of interference to the networks caused by a third party.
- Commercial Management, giving support to clients who request our services.
- Patrimonial management for the control of value of assets and their location.
Maintenance Systems
The Sanitary management system is an information system belonging to the GIS, which allows is to carry out integral management of the sanitary networks of water. It is a system which is integrated in the architecture of a network management system to share cartographic data about the sanitary networks incorporated in the same.
It integrates multiple functionalities with a modular design, permitting a management which is centred on the sanitary networks and extension of applications according to the operative necessities. The most representative functionalities are:
- The planning and monitoring of works done on the networks, identifying areas of the sanitary network which are being worked on.
- The monitoring of network maintenance operations, reflected in the incident or puncture detection systems.
- The connection with the Telephone Control Centre, which allows for the geographical location of incidents which our clients report to us, as well as being able to trace any warnings that we receive.
- The generation of works orders for the maintenance teams and posterior registering of the result of every action, including mobile terminals for field work which allow for immediate updating of information.
- Preventative maintenance via the integration of an asset management system, including periodic works and elements inspections, periodic cleaning of gutters, periodic reading of limnimeters etc.
- Project management, design of constructive solutions for new channelling and localization of urban development.
- Network Problem Management, monitoring and control of interference to the networks caused by a third party.
- Patrimonial Management for the control of value of actives and their location.
