SEAMS, a UK-based software company, has in partnership with AECOM won a major award with its Australian client Icon Water.
The company and engineering consultancy AECOM were jointly appointed by Icon Water, who provide water and sewer services to the Australian Capital territory, serving 165,000 customers.
Making use of SEAMS’ investment planning expertise and Enterprise Decision Analytics (EDA) software, Icon Water were able to develop their sewer strategy to achieve performance targets over a 20-year period.
Richard Hawkins, Accounts Director at SEAMS, said: “We’ve invested a lot of time and energy into developing gamechanging technology that’s unique in its field and this award means a lot.”
Icon Water has been awarded the AMCouncil Asset Management Award 2017 in the category for Asset Management Cost/Risk/Performance. The award recognises excellence in the management of physical assets through their life cycle and showcases use of best practice Asset Management systems and processes.
Andrew Behn, (Project Lead) at Icon Water, said: “For Icon Water, this approach has delivered clear articulation and understanding of the balance of cost, risk, and performance with regard to our sewer network. The application of SEAMS’ EDA is the first of its kind in Australia.”
“The new processes and systems, delivered in partnership with SEAMS and AECOM has helped us immensely in identifying and determining various impacts on levels of services into the future and overall benefits and costs under a number of different investment and intervention scenarios. This award is recognition of the benefits of using best practice asset investment planning.”
SEAMS was founded in Sheffield in 2002 and has since grown to become one of the UK’s leading asset management software providers.
