Historically, the client's approach to maintaining their ageing water pipelines involved systematic and routine excavations and replacements, based primarily on the water pipelines' age. This traditional method, while straightforward, proved to be inefficient and extremely costly, leading...]]></description><link>https://www.assetlifealliance.com.au/post/safeguarding-critical-infrastructure-with-p-cat</link><guid isPermaLink="false">697fbf5abb104146c0d0d64a</guid><pubDate>Sun, 01 Feb 2026 21:16:54 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/58020d_12ac960271154453b690a21d00e27d09~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ross Fisher</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revolutionising Asset Renewal with Data-Led Insights]]></title><description><![CDATA[In the water industry, the underground network is often a realm of the unknown. For decades, utilities worldwide have relied on age-based models to determine when to replace critical infrastructure. The logic was simple: if a pipe is old, it must be deteriorating. However, this approach is both capital-inefficient and risky. It often leads to the premature disposal of assets that still have decades of useful life, or conversely, misses newer assets that are failing rapidly due to...]]></description><link>https://www.assetlifealliance.com.au/post/revolutionising-asset-renewal-with-data-led-insights</link><guid isPermaLink="false">697fbc961dce0ff3f1043243</guid><pubDate>Mon, 04 Aug 2025 23:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/58020d_9ab85e4c21e14fb28361f410f4d06ace~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_519,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ross Fisher</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enhancing Asset Confidence at Big Bend National Park: p-CAT™ Sonic]]></title><description><![CDATA[The National Park Service (NPS), in its continued efforts to preserve vital infrastructure within Big Bend National Park, Texas, recently commissioned a condition assessment of the Chisos Basin water supply system. Central to this project was a 4.8km (3-mile), 90mm (3.5-inch) galvanized steel pipeline—installed in1955—that delivers water from Oak Spring Pump Station to the Chisos Basin Water Plant. To inform future rehabilitation plans and provide a clear understanding of asset health, the...]]></description><link>https://www.assetlifealliance.com.au/post/enhancing-asset-confidence-at-big-bend-national-park-p-cat-sonic</link><guid isPermaLink="false">697f8c8552cfe1bbd41630ed</guid><pubDate>Wed, 14 Aug 2024 16:45:19 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/58020d_9aa4f9967f0048129fb21f452d39575e~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ross Fisher</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stopping the 'Water Hammer' Asset Killer in its Tracks]]></title><description><![CDATA[Transient Monitoring Uncovers Major Unauthorised Water Use and Asset Risk For councils and utilities managing vast, ageing water networks, the silent threat of water hammer - or high-magnitude pressure transients - is a constant, insidious risk. These sudden, massive pressure surges drastically accelerate pipe failure, stress joints, and lead to costly, disruptive repairs.
