Severn Trent Water wanted a quick assessment of multiple options, covering the hydraulics, costs and environmental impact of each one. We were confident that we could provide detailed outputs even faster than requested using Moata Route Optimiser.

Using AI we were able to deliver rapid high-level comparisons and assessments, along with outline level designs considering the vertical profile, crossings and hydraulics. Severn Trent Water was kept up to date and involved in decision making process throughout with multiple presentations. Decisions made by Severn Trent Water could be quickly incorporated, with routes re-run and updated designs with associated costs available in a matter of hours.

Deploying Moata Route Optimiser on this fast-tracked project enabled robust route optimisation to be completed in two weeks, half the average time of traditional approaches. As Severn Trent Water had greater insights sooner, they could make evidence-based decisions faster, ultimately saving delivery programme time. Severn Trent Water is now confident in the preferred solution and is looking to progress it to detailed design and construction. We are now looking at several other route options in the local area as an extension to the original project.
