AP 006: Navigating the Flow: Innovations in Water Asset Management at De Watergroup

Navigating the Flow: Innovations in Water Asset Management at De Watergroup

In this episode of the Asset Performance Podcast, we delve into the pivotal roles of asset management and technological innovation in the water sector. Cindy Vermeire, Director of Distribution and Supplies, brings over two decades of experience to her oversight of maintenance, asset management, and investments within the drinking water network. Filip Vancoillie, responsible for asset and process management, emphasizes translating high-level strategies into actionable plans, integrating digital solutions to achieve operational excellence.

A significant challenge addressed is managing water losses across a vast network of over 34,000 kilometers of main pipes. Through strategic data use and digital technology implementation, such as sensors and digital customer meters, leakages are detected and managed more efficiently. The episode also highlights the importance of engaging the workforce in the transformation process and emphasizes the significance of data reliability, effective communication, and storytelling in driving organizational change within the water sector.e
