Sewer Networks - Hydroplan

Being the veins of the urban wastewater cycle, sewer networks perform a vital task in society. Sewers are invisible but nonetheless represent an enormous capital. Due to their invisibility and relatively long expected lifetime, sewer systems often don’t get the attention they deserve, with all related consequences. Sewer collapses and flooding can have serious financial, socio-economic and environmental impacts. T prevent this there are several preventive measures availabe like cleaning, inspection and rehabilitation of sewers.

Decision Support Tool - Hades

Hades is a decision support software programme that uses total life cycle modelling with Monte Carlo simulations and integrates all costs by monetising the risks and preventive investments. As all costs are explicit and discounted to a net present value, it is possible to identify different operational solutions and to choose the optimal strategy for each individual pipe. The programme allows to calculate the necessary maintenance budget in the long term and to determine where and when sewers need to be inspected and renovated.
