Context
SIG, the public utility of the Canton of Geneva, holds a diversified asset portfolio: energy and network infrastructure — electricity, thermal, gas, water — alongside a real-estate estate. To strengthen its asset management practices, SIG set out to equip itself with a decision-support tool that optimises costs and makes the planning of renewal, maintenance and upkeep operations reliable, harmonising asset management within each domain and across all of them at once.
Our solution
- 01 Structure the inventory Structured so that it stays relevant across sectors as different as an electricity network and a building.
- 02 Digitise and map the estate Condition, energy performance and risk level mapped on one and the same reference.
- 03 Model lifecycles and simulate Costs, ageing laws and the influence of maintenance modelled, then budget and maintenance-strategy scenarios compared in Oxand Simeo™.
What Oxand delivered
Budget needs across every horizon
Budget needs identified for the short, medium and long term — commissioning, maintenance and renewal — across every business sector.
One referential for the whole group
Data and inventory centralised in a single referential shared by every domain and organisational entity.
Scenarios compared before deciding
Different budget scenarios compared side by side, so the trajectory that is chosen can be explained.
Questions about this reference
What is SIG responsible for?
Water, energy and environmental services across the Canton of Geneva, as its public utility.
What did SIG set out to do?
To manage its water and wastewater assets over the long term: structuring its asset knowledge, anticipating investment needs and supporting decisions on data, in the face of growing complexity in asset lifecycle management.
What does the inventory cover?
Drinking water, wastewater and energy assets, structured and digitised into one reliable inventory rather than held per service.
What does modelling the lifecycle add?
Costs, ageing laws and the effect of maintenance are attached to each asset family, which is what turns an inventory into something that can answer when an intervention is due and what deferring it costs.
What does SIG hold at the end?
Visibility on how asset condition evolves and on the investment it implies, and a stronger alignment between technical planning and budget priorities across the short, medium and long term.
