What is AIP for water utilities?
AIP for water utilities
is the discipline used by water and wastewater operators to prioritize multi-year capital programmes — main replacement, plant refurbishment, network extension, sewer rehabilitation — under regulatory price reviews and resilience expectations. AIP combines asset condition, failure forecasts, and consequence weighting to produce a defensible, multi-year CAPEX plan. According to Gartner’s Market Guide for AIP Solutions (December 2024), water and power are among the earliest adopters of AIP because of their expanding asset base and stringent regulatory requirements.
Six pressures every water utility is planning against.
01
Buried-asset uncertainty
The mains underground are decades old, condition data is patchy, and digging to inspect is expensive. Decisions still have to defend themselves.
02
Non-revenue water
Leaks, theft, and metering inaccuracy erode revenue. Investment in detection and replacement competes with treatment-plant CAPEX.
03
Regulatory price reviews
AMP cycles (UK), PFAS and lead service line replacement (US), urban wastewater directive compliance (EU) — every cycle ratchets the bar higher.
04
Climate stress
Drought, flood, and storm-surge resilience now shape investment priorities as much as historical condition.
05
Energy and carbon footprint
Pumping is energy-intensive. Net-zero commitments collide with treatment quality and resilience needs.
06
Workforce attrition
Engineering teams holding the network model in tribal knowledge are aging out. The decision logic has to live in the platform.
Purpose-built for the water asset lifecycle.
Centralise & Visualize
One asset register, fed by reality
Mains, treatment plants, pumping stations, sewer networks. Consolidate field condition from Simeo GO mobile inspections, CMMS and GIS into a single planning model — then visualise condition, risk and renewal value across the network on interactive maps. Bulk import in days, not months.
Simulate & Compare
Risk-weighted, scenario-based prioritization
Run 5, 10 and 20-year scenarios under budget, reliability and net-zero constraints simultaneously — AMP cycle by AMP cycle. Compare strategies side by side before committing capital. Institutional knowledge is encoded in 10,000+ predictive models covering every water-asset family, so it does not leave with the senior engineer.
Adapt & Defend
A living plan, audit-ready for every filing
Living plans that update as field reality changes. Every action links to the asset, the condition data, the model, the regulatory line item. CMMS integration keeps field execution flowing back to the model and strategic plan flowing forward to work-order prioritisation. ISO 55001 and AMP submission-ready.
CMMS integration partner: CARL Software — field execution flows back to the model; strategic plan flows forward to work-order prioritisation.
Connected to your tools. Secure by design.
CMMS
IBM Maximo, Infor EAM, CARL Software, SAP PM. Condition data flows in; strategic priorities flow out.
ERP
SAP and Oracle ERP. Financial data and procurement integrated with the multi-year capital plan.
GIS & BIM
Spatial and building-information data ingested to anchor asset risk to geography and structure.
IoT & SCADA
Real-time telemetry from SCADA and IoT sensors feeds asset condition directly into the investment model.
REST & GraphQL APIs
Open API layer for custom integrations. Connect any source system without bespoke middleware.
EU data residency · self-hosted option
Simeo is hosted on Azure (France region by default), keeping data within the EU for organisations under GDPR or national-security requirements. A fully self-hosted Kubernetes deployment is available for operators under air-gapped or critical national infrastructure constraints.
Three workflows water utilities run on day one.
Regulatory price-review filing
AMP-cycle-ready evidence. Asset-level CAPEX justification. Defensible under regulator scrutiny. Every action links to the asset, condition data, model, and regulatory line item.
Network investment planning
Main replacement, sewer rehabilitation, network extension. Multi-decade scenarios modelled under budget and risk constraints so the highest-consequence work gets funded first.
Net-zero vs resilience
Pumping carbon, treatment energy, climate adaptation. Simeo shows where the trade-offs bite at the asset level — so decarbonisation and resilience targets sit inside the same plan.

Frequently asked questions
How does Simeo handle limited buried-asset condition data?
Most water utilities start with patchy condition data. Simeo's predictive models infer condition from age, material, soil, pressure, and burst history — so you get a defensible risk view immediately, then refine as inspection data flows in.
How does Simeo support regulatory filing submissions?
Yes. The audit-ready evidence trail — asset register, condition data, predictive model output, action library, multi-year plan — aligns with the documentation regulators expect. Same logic supports EU UWWTD and US PFAS / lead service line filings.
Does Simeo model non-revenue water investment cases?
Yes. NRW reduction (leak detection, district metering, mains replacement) competes head-to-head with treatment and source CAPEX in the same scenario engine.
Does Simeo integrate with our hydraulic model?
Simeo ingests data from major hydraulic and SCADA systems via REST/GraphQL APIs. Integration patterns documented per system.
Where can Simeo be deployed?
Default: Azure France region (EU residency, ISO 27001, NIS2-aligned). For utilities under strict isolation requirements: fully self-hosted Kubernetes deployment.
