Modernizing Water Network Documentation Management for Improved Accessibility

The client faces challenges in digitizing and managing extensive water and sewage network documentation. The current reliance on paper archives leads to inefficiencies, limited access outside the office, and difficulties supporting repair and maintenance activities. There is an urgent need to consolidate technical documents, multimedia resources, and GIS data into a centralized, accessible digital platform that supports field operations and automated workflows.

About the Client

A mid-sized municipal utility responsible for managing water and sewage networks, seeking to modernize documentation and field operations.

Goals for Digital Transformation of Water Network Documentation

  • Automate the digitization process of existing paper-based water and sewage network documentation to ensure compliance with data archiving standards.
  • Develop a centralized digital archive supporting multimedia resources such as images, schematics, and technical reports.
  • Integrate GIS software to enable location-based access and visualization of documentation within geospatial maps.
  • Implement a workflow automation system to streamline investment and maintenance documentation processes.
  • Provide mobile-ready access to technical information for repair teams and field personnel outside corporate premises.
  • Deploy a scalable, high-performance infrastructure including virtualization, large-capacity storage, and secure data management.
  • Enhance operational efficiency, reducing time spent on documentation retrieval and updating, and facilitating real-time access during fieldwork.

Core Functional and Technical System Capabilities

  • Support for the import and digitization of technical documents, multimedia files, and archival material with adherence to data standards.
  • Integration with GIS systems to visualize and access documentation through geospatial mapping.
  • A media archive supporting technical condition reviews, including images and video resources.
  • Calibration tools for raster maps to match current base maps accurately within the GIS environment.
  • Workflow automation modules to streamline investment planning, documentation updates, and approval processes.
  • Cross-platform accessibility via desktop and mobile devices with optimized performance for field use.
  • Support for large-scale storage solutions (e.g., block matrix and object storage) for efficient data handling.
  • User training and interface customization to facilitate adoption and ongoing management.

Recommended Technologies and Architectural Approaches

Java for application development
PostgreSQL for database management
Elasticsearch for indexing and quick search capabilities
Kafka for real-time data processing and integration
Kubernetes for container orchestration and scalability
Virtualization infrastructure supporting high-performance computing and storage

Essential External System Integrations

  • GIS software for spatial mapping and visualization
  • External multimedia repositories for importing legacy media
  • Data archiving standards compliance modules
  • Existing enterprise workflows for investment and technical documentation management

Critical Non-Functional System Requirements

  • System scalability to accommodate growing data volumes and user base
  • High availability with minimal downtime to support 24/7 field operations
  • Data security protocols to protect sensitive infrastructure information
  • Performance metrics ensuring real-time access and responsiveness, targeting sub-second query times
  • Compliance with data archiving and GIS data standards

Anticipated Business Benefits and Project Outcomes

The implementation aims to digitize and centralize water network documentation within 180 days, enabling real-time access for field teams, reducing administrative workload, and supporting efficient maintenance operations. The project will progress towards a fully automated, scalable infrastructure capable of supporting multiple ongoing digitalization initiatives, substantially improving operational efficiency, data accuracy, and access reliability across the organization.
