Introduction Road maintenance is chronically underfunded in most countries. The World Bank estimates that road agencies in developing countries receive, on average, only 30–50% of the funding needed to maintain their networks in good condition. The consequence is well-documented: roads deteriorate faster than they are maintained, rehabilitation backlogs grow, and the eventual ...
Real-time data should integrate with SCADA or asset management systems via APIs, enabling dashboards that combine reservoir data with treatment and distribution data. ...
Explore where water-technology investment is growing and how emerging funding priorities are shaping real-world trials and the next wave of scalable solutions. A roundup of emerging funding priorities in water innovation funding, with examples from technologies already being tested through the Trial Reservoirs Initiative. 2025 was a remarkably successful year for global water innovation ...
The inspection of sewer manholes and underground infrastructure represents a major challenge for municipalities and utility companies. Traditional methods are not only time-consuming, but also involve significant risks for worker safety. In this article, we examine how remote inspection technologies make it possible to reduce inspection time by up to 75% while improving safety and the quality of ...
In the world of underground infrastructure inspection, every minute counts. Municipalities, contractors, and asset managers are constantly looking to shorten intervention times, improve data accuracy, and minimize operational costs. However, manual or semi-automated inspections often lead to time losses — frequent repositioning, human errors, repetitive tasks, and long hours of manual ...
In modern infrastructure management, inspection is no longer an end in itself. It represents the first step in a broader decision-making process with a clear objective: moving from observation to action. Too often, data collected during inspections remains underutilized due to a lack of structure or clarity. Yet, when properly analyzed, this data becomes a strategic lever for planning, ...
Introduction: Why CH4 Connections Matter Methane, or CH4, is one of the most potent greenhouse gases known today. While its atmospheric lifetime is shorter than CO2, its warming potential is over 80 times higher over a 20-year horizon. This makes methane emissions a top priority for both regulators and industry leaders. When we speak of CH4 connections, we are talking about the direct links ...

Our story at Thermo Electric began nearly 60 years ago with a singular, critical challenge: accurately measuring exhaust gas temperatures in aeroplane engines. This environment, characterized by extreme temperatures, intense vibration, and the absolute necessity for reliability, is what our engineering philosophy is built on. Today, we apply the lessons learned from that demanding context to ...
The landscape of industrial leak detection is undergoing a dramatic transformation, and 2025 marks a new chapter in this evolution. At the heart of this shift is optical gas imaging (OGI)-a technology that has rapidly advanced to become smarter, faster, and more precise. Once considered a specialized tool used only by elite inspection teams, OGI cameras are now becoming standard across a broad ...

RFID technology uses radio waves to identify, track, and manage assets in real time. Unlike traditional barcode systems, RFID tags do not require line-of-sight scanning, enabling faster and more efficient operations. ...
Client: ENEL/One Wind Status: Completed One Wind’s St. Lawrence and Fermeuse Wind Farms, located in Newfoundland & Labrador, provide a combined 54MW of green energy capacity to the province’s power grid, providing enough electricity to power about 14,000 homes collectively. Pennecon Technical Services (PTS) were contracted by ENEL in 2008 to provide start-up and ...
Abstract Effective asset management is crucial for maintaining the longevity and reliability of wastewater treatment equipment. In this editorial, we explore innovative solutions using Castolin Eutectic products to enhance the life cycle of critical components. Specifically, we focus on three cutting-edge technologies: MeCaFix, MeCaWear and MeCaCorr. These advanced materials and repair ...
The inclusion of information technologies in the integrated water cycle (catchment, drinking water treatment, supply, sanitation, purification and returning water to the environment) paves the way to significantly improving this process and maximizing the use of our most precious, though often undervalued resource: water. 4 measures to improve water management To achieve ...

How can facilities management software help reduce costs? Facilities management and the ongoing maintenance of buildings and assets often present financial challenges for facilities managers across all organisations. From regular upkeep to unforeseen repairs, faulty equipment, and ensuring general safety, the demands can be overwhelming, especially for organisations operating across multiple ...
The good news is that, with the right digital tool, you can manage and support your team wherever you are and even improve field service management. ...
The right computerized maintenance management software (CMMS) helps governmental facilities maintain compliance in record keeping, asset management, secure document storage and more. ...
Facilities managers are the ultimate mix of global and situational thinkers. You must be able to stay abreast of needs and challenges in your department as a whole, while still knowing about the ins and outs of individual assets and projects. ...
But there is huge potential in applying smart technology to motor management, especially for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), logistics, and at industrial sites with multiple motors in confined places. Digital motor control solutions can take data from asynchronous motors and loads to be properly incorporated into modern asset management ...
Unfortunately, asset management is often an afterthought, and the repercussions of poor asset management include reduced efficiency, unexpected downtime, and asset failure. ...
If you’re a machine builder trying to differentiate your company from the competition, you may be considering investing in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions. Today, there are numerous cloud-based manufacturing technologies that can dramatically improve production efficiency, reduce downtime, and streamline maintenance. But how do you find the right IIoT solution while meeting ...
