Reliability Modelling For Asset Management in South East Water
Over the years, the reliability modelling of water assets has generated increasing interest among both researchers and practitioners. Statistical methods and software packages for assessing asset reliability have been developed in order to improve asset availability, indirectly reduce water losses, and hence improve the efficiency of water assets. OFWAT, which is the economic regulator of the water sector in England and Wales, aims to ensure that water companies operate under their statutory functions and have sufficient financial means to perform these functions adequately. Water companies need to prepare a five-year business plan for OFWAT, in order to certify they have enough capital and are transparent when carrying out their statutory functions. Hence, this thesis aims to analyse the reliability of two selected types of assets at South East Water to help plan their future investments on vehicles and future maintenance costs on borehole assets.
This thesis will provide an extensive literature review on reliability modelling in water distribution networks. An MS Excel-based decision support system will be developed for both vehicles and borehole assets, using data collected from South East Water. For the transport model, a block replacement policy will be developed by using Visual Basic, to obtain the optimum time of replacing a vehicle. Performance analysis will be conducted on the borehole data to pinpoint the worst performers among the 16 boreholes under analysis
Convening for a Prosperous Future: Middle East North African South Asian (MENASA) Convening
PSU is proactively leaning into its future as a majority-BIPOC student institution and is dedicated to coming alongside BIPOC communities, critical partners, actors, and agents to act in the present to ensure a prosperous future.
We recognize that opportunities and challenges for BIPOC communities require collective, rather than singular, action. In that spirit, we invite you to save the date and join Portland State University\u27s Global Diversity and Inclusion Division on Sunday October 23rd between 11am-2pm for a convening luncheon contemplating present challenges and imagining a prosperous future for our Middle East North African South Asian (MENASA) Community.
This social event aims to be an asset-based intergenerational, inter-ideological, and intercultural opportunity for listening, shared learning, and recognition of points of synergy and opportunity across the rich and diverse identities of the MENASA community in our area -- resulting in a shared agenda and momentum for action.
