Questions about this reference
What is Eau d'Azur responsible for?
The public drinking water service of the Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur, covering the city of Nice and the surrounding municipalities — 24 in all, on around 1,000 km of network.
What did Eau d'Azur ask Oxand to build?
A comprehensive and unified asset reference system across its drinking water perimeter, so that a complex and diverse infrastructure could be structured, centralised and valorised in one place.
What does the reference framework cover?
Structures, civil engineering assets and technical equipment — the three families together, rather than the equipment alone, which is what allows a network and the works that carry it to be planned on the same base.
How was the data gathered?
Through a data collection campaign followed by technical consolidation, then unification and enrichment of what was collected so that it can carry strategic decisions.
What does the reference system make possible next?
It is the foundation for investment planning and performance monitoring: with the asset base structured, future needs can be projected instead of estimated, and operational efficiency improves alongside asset knowledge.
