Revolutionising Water Industry Planning: Severn Trent’s Visionary Partnership with Sensat
London, UK - 1st October 2024: Sensat, the leading visualisation and collaboration platform for civil infrastructure, proudly announces a groundbreaking partnership with Severn Trent Water, a leading household water supplier in the UK. Severn Trent is embracing innovation to revolutionise capital delivery projects across the water sector strategically, to get ahead of the curve before the imminent AMP8 period.
As the water industry navigates the challenges of AMP8, Sensat and Severn Trent's collaboration stands as a beacon of innovation, demonstrating the potential to reduce errors, optimise cost savings, and streamline project delivery through cutting-edge visualisation technology.
Severn Trent seamlessly uploads and visualises design files, flood risk data, current underground utilities, and constraints against a backdrop of real-world context in Sensat. This innovative approach assists teams in better understanding the risks and constraints of the project area from any desktop. Ultimately, this helps teams to facilitate right-first-time decision-making, minimise disruption, and ensure on-time project delivery.
Teams are plugging in multiple file types alongside existing platforms into Sensat, which acts as a centralised solution across diverse teams, fostering collaboration and alignment. This ensures everyone is on the same page and can access the vital information needed for effective project planning.
Severn Trent's utilisation of Sensat extends to the catchment-wide strategic project in Ilkeston, where the company aims to reduce flooding and enhance environmental quality. Nitesh Alagh, Business Lead - Digital Engineering, Sustainability & Emerging Tech at Severn Trent, underscores the importance of innovation, stating, "Innovation is key to meeting the evolving demands of the water industry. We are taking a ‘low regret, no regret' stance using Sensat to frontload projects with information. This enables teams to collaborate in one platform—no matter their technical expertise—make data-driven decisions, and guarantee outcomes by design.”
Sensat Co-Founder and CEO James Dean emphasises the collaboration's significance, saying, "Severn Trent is an industry giant committed to record-breaking delivery that requires innovation and thought leaders to come together to streamline legacy processes. Water companies are under increasing pressure to improve their services, and working with Severn Trent allows us to make a real difference in the industry's future of water management."
