Tucson Water, the municipal water provider, partnered with VODA.ai to implement a data-driven approach to asset management, resulting in $5.4 million in avoided infrastructure costs.
Their strategy focuses not just on identifying pipes at high risk of failure, but also on confidently knowing when to leave pipes in place.
Using VODA.ai's daVinci™ machine learning engine, Tucson Water successfully advocated for modified road designs that prevented premature pipe replacement on several projects.
In one key example, data showed pipes under a major street were in good condition with an estimated Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of up to 40 years, allowing the utility to avoid costly modifications during a repaving project.
This collaboration with the City of Tucson Department of Transportation highlights how smart, data-backed insights can eliminate avoidable costs and improve resource focus.
