About Our Presentation

Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) is working to standardize, evolve, and enhance its asset management practices; particularly in the 5-year capital asset planning efforts. IRWD’s current asset management approach consists of three major business lines. The Operations department handles the near-term preventative and corrective maintenance using IBM’s Maximo and Spatial Wave’s Field Mapplet. The Engineering department conducts 5-year capital project asset planning and long-range Replacement Planning Modeling (RPM). Lastly, the Finance Department develops the financial replacement funding strategy. IRWD continues to grow and optimize its overall asset management approach and has implemented several platforms to facilitate these efforts.

This project developed a standardized, risk-based, 5-year prioritized Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for IRWD’s pump stations, lift stations, tanks, and wells for IRWD’s potable, sewer, and recycled water systems. To aid development of the CIP, as well as management and interpretation of the asset information and data, this project developed a Dynamic Asset Management Plan through the Business Intelligence (BI) solution Microsoft PowerBI (PBI). PBI provides the connection between the core asset management principles and the data. The result is a series of customizable dashboards that present digestible, interactive asset information that is accessible to everyone in the organization at any time. The 5-yr CIP, supported by PBI visualizations, allows IRWD to communicate data in a meaningful way so stakeholders can make informed asset decisions.

As IRWD takes steps toward a future where asset management is standardized, automated and continuous, this project represents a critical milestone in the evolution of CIP planning.

Plan now to join us, July 20, to learn more about IRWD’s asset management plans for the future. It promises to be an enlightening afternoon.
