Water Utility & Wastewater Treatment
Water is precious; an essential resource for life and one that is under continuous pressure from climate change, population growth requiring ongoing protection from contamination. Water utility agencies have ongoing capital improvement programmes supplementing routine and preventative operations and maintenance. Asset management teams require immediate access to the latest, up to date O&M documentation, as part of risk mitigation against shortages and outages in water services.
COGNICA are one of the UK’s leading providers of digital O&M document collation, delivery, and information storage within the Water sector. Since 1998 we have major water utility agencies including Severn Trent Water, Bristol Water, Scottish Water, Anglian Water, Thames Water, Southern Water, Welsh Water and United Utilities providing both an O&M collation and a more specific Technical Authoring service for our clients. We have managed thousands of O&M manuals and technical authoring projects including full Site Specific Instructions and Site Operating Guides.
Additionally, as part of water utility asset management programmes, COGNICA’s Insite360 reality capture laser scanning services routinely capture full internal, and external, water treatment sites at speed creating digital 3d full colour point clouds and photogrammetry models, accurate to within 5mm and complete with integrated O&M and training documents. Ideal use cases include site inductions, team training, access and risk assessment, early design planning, measurements, condition assessments, and way finding.
