Executive Summary<\/h2>\n
\n

Anglian Water manages over 80 sites, each equipped with a diverse range of mechanical and electrical assets, all with different lifespans and maintenance requirements. The customer required accurate, consistent asset data to enhance long-term planning, monitor ageing infrastructure, and boost resilience across the estate.<\/p>\n

The project team implemented a structured asset data programme that established a single digital asset register, enhanced visibility of asset condition and importance, and facilitated a shift towards proactive, risk-based maintenance.<\/p>\n

    The Outcome <\/h2>\n
    \n

    The single digital asset register now offers clear and reliable information for all surveyed assets, enabling joint planning and improved prioritisation with Anglian Water\u2019s operational teams.<\/p>\n

    The proactive maintenance model has cut planned maintenance hours by 35%, freeing resources for other operational needs. Identifying 26% of assets as critical allows maintenance and investment to be targeted where they will have the greatest impact on business risk and continuity.<\/p>\n

    The programme is currently active across four sites, supporting long-term budget certainty, capital planning, and compliance. Ongoing data management ensures the register stays accurate, helping create safer, more resilient, and more efficient environments across the estate.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div> <\/div>\n <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
