Taking advantage of the experience and expertise that we have accumulated over the course of more than half a century in the areas of water rate collection and information technology, we offer optimal combinations of customer services and IT solutions mainly to public organizations in a variety of different regions.
Enacted on October 1, 2019, the amended Waterworks Law requires water utilities to
enhance their waterworks infrastructure.
Taking advantage of the know-how and proven track record
that we have built up in relation to waterworks management, we are willing to offer support in many
different ways.
While providing support for the outsourcing of comprehensive work packages to third parties and the introduction of the concession model, we also monitor the subcontractors as a third-party organization.
In response to the introduction of a renewal system for designated plumbing contractors, we undertake the provision of training with an emphasis on ensuring the appropriate implementation of construction work, which is the aim of the system’s introduction.
With the aim of improving waterworks facility ledgers, we provide support for the following: surveys on the current condition of waterworks facilities; management of documents related to the completion of construction, inspections, updates, etc.; coordination with fixed asset registers; and creation of asset management documents. We also offer support for the establishment of renewal plans for waterworks facilities by developing an understanding of the overall condition of the facilities based on the waterworks facility ledgers and taking into account factors such as the degree of obsolescence and future water distribution plans.
We undertake contract work to address one of the greatest challenges facing waterworks: improving the rate of accounted-for water.
Detecting water leaks and implementing the necessary countermeasures is an indispensable aspect of improving the rate of accounted-for water. Most leakages tend to be subsurface ones, which are often detected long after they first occur. We have developed a wide variety of equipment that is designed to reduce water leakages, and we own a variety of efficient and effective leakage detection technologies. Our technologies are the reason why the Bureau of Waterworks Tokyo Metropolitan Government has been able to achieve the amazingly low leakage rate of 3%, one of the lowest rates in the world. If you are struggling to increase your rate of accounted-for water, feel free to contact us.
Water leakage can cause not only turbidity and interruptions to
the supply of water, but also even heavier damage at times, such as road depressions and flooding.
To avoid such risks, it is critical that you implement daily measures for leakage prevention. These
measures should, however, vary according to factors such as the water resource, the facility
conditions of the individual water utility, and how their pipes are buried.
As our staff have
gained the necessary know-how by experiencing leak detection operations under many different
conditions and are well-versed in leakage prevention measures, we can provide water utilities with
the solutions that they really need.
Water supply services provide a lifeline for civic life, so it is essential that we continue
to ensure a reliable supply of water and maintain high standards for our water services.
We offer
support to water utilities facing challenges related to waterworks technologies caused by a need to
increase their managerial efficiency, a shortage of experienced engineers, and other such factors by
providing them with the consulting services that they need.
We will conduct surveys and an analysis of the present condition of your pipelines from multiple viewpoints (e.g., the functionality of distribution pipes and valves and how the pipes are buried) and propose possible solutions to any issues that are identified.
We will propose medium- to long-term plans and efficient waterworks facility renewal plans by taking advantage of our technological infrastructure based on waterworks facility surveys and assessments to help you achieve sustainable waterworks operations.
We will conduct surveys to ascertain the current condition of your civil engineering structures (e.g., service reservoirs and receiving wells in purification plants or distribution stations as well as ancillary equipment and buildings) and make proposals on how to take care of deteriorated or unsafe areas. We can also make proposals on how to conduct a seismic diagnosis of the structures. Furthermore, we can measure and analyze the distribution amounts from service reservoirs to clarify how water is distributed during the day and at night, judge whether there are any water leaks in the service reservoirs, and so on.
Taking full advantage of the technical knowledge, skills, and know-how that we have developed as a semi-public sector company that works with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, we can create various types of operating manuals and specifications that are essential for the smooth promotion of water supply operations.
We will accurately evaluate the execution of any facility management operations that you have outsourced to contractors and propose measures for greater operating efficiency accordingly.
