Network Analysis

Today’s data solving tomorrow’s problems

Page 2: 1 - Philip Coates Rob Murrell - A Network Analysis Platform for … · 2019-10-01 · • We still don’t have live models to answer these questions for us. • We had to work with

• A collaborative project undertaken by Severn Trent Water and MWH treatment.

• Working in partnership for approx. three years.

• Main aim of this project was to improve both the reactive capability and the proactive decision making ability of STW clean water network operations.

Network Analysis in Severn Trent ‐ What does this mean for us?

Robert Murrell 

• Clean Water Modelling Manager at Severn Trent Water.

• What were The STW motivations for undertaking this project?

Philip Coates 

• Senior Engineer at MWH Treatment.

• How MWH Treatment went about trying to meet the projects requirements.

• We already have models which provide comprehensive coverage of our network.

• These are used in the traditional ways such as Engineering schemes, incident management, understanding of growth and network re‐configuration etc.

• However, models are limited….. 

Why does Severn Trent Water need Network Analytics?

My confession...

• I’m a crap modeller but I’m not the only one.

• Funnel effect ‐ we only model a limited number of options.

• Reactive ‐ we only model something that has already happened.

• Models are full of data but getting hold of it is difficult.

• These limitations mean approach does not easily lend itself to giving the business the information it really needs when it needs it.

Limitations of Models

How do we obtain a better understanding 

of asset failure? 

Faster understanding of cause and 

effect of supply interruption

Which is the most beneficial 

pipe to replace?

How do we create a more 

resilient network?

How do we better 

understand our customers 

supply source?

?

Severn Trent want to answer these questions quickly and at the appropriate level

How do we understand our 

network holistically?

What does Severn Trent really want to know?

Page 7: 1 - Philip Coates Rob Murrell - A Network Analysis Platform for … · 2019-10-01 · • We still don’t have live models to answer these questions for us. • We had to work with

• How do we make this happen?

• We still don’t have live models to answer these questions for us.

• We had to work with what we’ve got.

• By utilising our models and other data streams and working in collaboration with MWH treatment we were able to answer these questions and many more we hadn’t thought of.

• Phil will now tell you how we went about it.
