Study and support in the modernisation of the management techniques to improve the water supply service
Deployment of Cartajour Water Supply GIS
Setting up an autonomous GIS team within the water utility
Optimised water network replacement strategy using the SIROCO® expert system
750 km of networks
Context
Nha Trang, The Government of Vietnam has set forth a target policy to phase out subsidies to water supply services. Decree 117 has granted the financial autonomy to water supply companies to stimulate the development of their financial independence. To achieve this target, the water supply companies need to modernize their management techniques to reduce their operating costs and design more cost-effective investment program. The project will provide tools to the beneficiary to improve the water supply system efficiency.
The project is implemented in 3 phases:
- Phase 1: Institutional analysis – Needs assessment – Preparation of technical specifications
- Phase 2: Design and implementation of the GIS – Provision of training courses
- Phase 3: Use of the GIS for asset management and preparation of investment plan
Project Description
The project implementation comprised the following three phases:
- Mission A: Assessment of the beneficiary’s needs in terms of GIS
Survey of the water supply service organization, the available data and the workforce competence; redaction of the specifications for the implementation of the GIS during the project - Mission B: Implementation of the GIS and data acquisition
- Mission C : Elaboration of an optimized investment strategy for network rehabilitation
Detailed study to establish an optimised network rehabilitation program, SIROCO®
Modelling of the impact factors causing interventions on the network and prediction of future breaks
Multi-criteria analysis for several criteria in terms of reduction of breaks impact on the network
