REHAB-IT - strategy tool for sustainable pipe and cable renovation

Bad decisions are expensive decisions. The REHAB-IT program helps to maintain a strategy for pipe and cable renovation, so that it becomes streamlined and uniform year after year.

REHAB-IT helps determine renovation plans by combining data input from the knowledge of the pipe and cable network. This could be, for example, operating reports, the strategic renovation plan the utility has chosen and other data about the pipe and cable network.

REHAB-IT is an IT tool that comes up with a strategy and indicates the profitable and economically optimal time period for replacing pipes and cables. The same decision-making method is used for both water and waste water. With REHAB-IT's tool, pipes and cables are prioritised against each other, and based on a point system the system suggests a one-year renovation plan for your pipes and cables.

The renovation year itself is determined partly based on a technical assessment of the pipe or cable and partly based on a cost-benefit calculation. The renovation year can also be determined based on a desire to follow a service goal.

The technical assessment is determined based on a number of optional parameters. As an example, the following technical parameters have been chosen as a starting point in the development of drainage: Hydraulic condition, physical index and extraneous water. In addition, REHAB-IT uses a number of technical data which is obtained from, among other things, the pipe and cable registration etc.
