AWARE-P software and methodology in US project

The Water Environment Research Federation (WERF) has selected for funding a proposal led by GHD in association with LNEC, Addition and Virginia Tech, as part of WERF's Innovation and Research for Water Infrastructure for the 21st Century cooperative agreement with USEPA. Project INFR-2012 (System Rehab. Component) "Visual Tool for Supporting Asset Management Performance, Risk and Cost Analysis" (2012-2013) will explore the applicability of the current AWARE-P software toolset to US utilities and specifically develop new open-source modules for modeling drainage system criticality and for sewer failure analysis. The project has the support of IWA and its Specialist Group on Strategic Asset Management.

The AWARE-P vision

AWARE-P aims at providing water and wastewater utilities with the know-how and tools needed for efficient decision-making in the scope of infrastructure asset management of urban water services.
