Tetra Tech supports UKWIR publication: Balancing Short, and Long-term Interventions to Improve Interruptions to Supply
At Tetra Tech, we are delighted to see the publication of this UKWIR report which provides an adaptive planning framework for Optimising and Balancing Short-Term Operational Interventions with Long-Term Capital Maintenance to Improve Water Supply Interruptions.
Working with UK Water Industry Research (UKWIR) project steering group and supported by Matthew McConville from AMCL, our Water Consulting team led this project, which was based on a comprehensive review of literature available around best practice in both water and wider utilities domains as well as drawing on the deep experience and technical knowledge of all involved.
By developing a pragmatic framework that addresses the pressing challenges of supply interruptions, we aim to empower water companies to make informed investment decisions that not only improve operational efficiency but also align with the ambitious goal of achieving zero interruptions to supply by 2050.
The framework integrates key data inputs, predictive modelling outputs and prioritisation criteria into a cohesive decision-making process. This will help guide water companies when identifying the most important interventions enabling optimised resource allocation and risk minimisation.
Our work on delivering this project exemplifies Tetra Tech’s commitment to enhancing water supply resilience by developing models that can be implemented by Water Companies in the UK and beyond.
We would like to thank UKWIR for giving us the opportunity to participate in this important project and the Project Steering Group who provided the time and vital industry insight to support us in producing the framework and report.
