infraPLAN - Pioneer and Leader

With 25 years of research and consulting experience, we have pioneered the recycling of existing data often collected for operations, and the use of advanced approaches to analyze that data for planning purposes.  We add value to the original investments made to develop and maintain the expensive data-management tools such as GIS, Scada, and CMMS.  

The solution we offer could be:

(1) a consulting project supported by infraSOFT, our advanced web-based, user-friendly platform that streamlines all the necessary tasks, or, 

(2) for utilities that aim towards running planning projects themselves in the future, access to infraSOFT, with an initial light consulting project that also serves to train utility staff or their consultant at using infraSOFT.  

In other words, we offer high quality consulting greatly streamlined by our platform as well as access to our platform supported by a consulting project.

This is quite unique in the industry. The solution stems from our experience working for decades with US utilities. It has taught us that it is hard for utilities to build in-house advanced asset management capacity supported by advanced tools without external help from experts, at least at the onset of this new path toward sustainability.

We have run hundreds of projects. We know which data and tasks are crucial; our platform compiles and automates them, including diagnosing data issues, and helping clean them up; running statistics; forecasting failure. Ultimately, once the data has been cleaned, we help utilities define trustworthy, defendable, utility-specific and optimal rehabilitation plans quickly and at a competitive price because we have cut the time it used to take in the past to run those tasks .  

Our trademark is quality. We believe in quality data and results, and being able to interpret and justify results. We come from the research world where we learned rigor but have been in the "data trenches", working with utilities for decades.  We understand the demands of the real world including typical data limitations at US utilities.   

Our clients include utilities (size ranging from 300 mi to 6,500 mi of pipes), and engineering firms.
