Water & Waste Water

// Water & Waste Water

Connected data means safer water systems

The water and wastewater sector encompasses the planning, design, construction and operation of networks that deliver clean water and manage wastewater safely and sustainably. Over the past decade, the industry has embraced digital transformation, moving from paper based processes to building information modelling (BIM) enabled, data driven workflows that improve efficiency and asset reliability. Clients increasingly rely on BIM to coordinate complex designs, optimise pipework and treatment plant layouts and reduce costly rework across multidisciplinary teams.

We understand the operational pressures on water utilities and contractors, including regulatory cycles, AMP investment planning and a growing need for digital continuity from design into operations.

At Informed Engineering we use structured information to support better decision making, ensuring regulatory compliance that enables proactive asset maintenance. Digital models allow operators to visualise systems, simulate performance and plan interventions before problems arise, reducing downtime and operational risk. By leveraging ISO19650 led BIM and information management, water utilities and developers can deliver smarter, more resilient infrastructure while improving operational efficiency and safeguarding vital public services.

Informed Support

We work from the earliest stages to define clear information requirements, establish robust information delivery plans and configure Common Data Environment (CDE) processes that support multi disciplinary teams. This ensures consistent data structures, transparent workflows and efficient collaboration between engineers, contractors, technology suppliers and operators.

Informed Services

Integrated BIM & information management

By integrating ISO 19650 principles with digital engineering practices, we enhance design coordination, reduce rework and accelerate programme delivery. Our digital models and data frameworks support real time decision making, optioneering, constructability reviews and early engagement with operations teams. This ensures that assets are designed not only for performance, but for maintainability, resilience and long term value. During construction and commissioning, we manage information quality, coordinate asset data and deliver progressive assurance of models and documentation. This eliminates the end of project scramble for as-builts and ensures that operators receive complete, trusted information that integrates seamlessly with their enterprise asset management systems.

Clear information requirements and digital foundations

We define Exchange Information Requirements (EIR), Asset Information Requirements (AIR) and information delivery plans that reflect regulatory compliance, operational needs, resilience priorities and asset management objectives, ensuring suppliers deliver consistent, high quality data.

Regulatory compliance and reporting

Maintain robust information to meet environmental standards and support audits in accordance with ISO27001. ISO 19650 ensures traceability, version control and quality assurance across large supply chains—supporting statutory obligations, water quality standards, environmental permitting and resilience requirements. During construction and commissioning, we manage information quality, coordinate asset data and deliver progressive assurance of models and documentation. This eliminates the end of project scramble for as-builts and ensures that operators receive complete, trusted information that integrates seamlessly with their enterprise asset management systems.

Coordinated engineering across process, civil, MEICA and pipeline disciplines

Using ISO 19650 workflows, we manage structured model coordination across treatment processes, tanks, pipework, mechanical/electrical systems, instrumentation, automation and site wide civil works. This reduces error, enhances safety and improves constructability.

High quality asset information for long term operation

We embed structured data requirements throughout delivery so operators receive accurate, validated asset information that integrates with GIS, CMMS, telemetry/SCADA and asset management systems, supporting safe, efficient and compliant operation.

Experience across full asset lifecycle

Supporting feasibility, design, construction, commissioning, maintenance and renewals across treatment plants, pumping stations, networks, reservoirs, outfalls and stormwater systems.

Digital tools for optioneering, hydraulics and environmental decisions

Model based design, visualisation, analytics and digital review processes support capacity planning, treatment optimisation, hydraulic modelling and early engagement with stakeholders and regulators.

We deliver water and wastewater projects using ISO 19650 by establishing clear information requirements, coordinating multidisciplinary MEICA and civil design and applying robust digital governance to reduce risk and improve decision making. Our structured workflows enhance compliance, safety and delivery efficiency, while ensuring operators receive accurate, validated asset information aligned with GIS, CMMS and SCADA systems to support reliable long term operation of water and wastewater networks and treatment facilities.
