Fracta’s software solution uses machine learning and big data to optimize potable water pipe replacement for U.S. water utilities. Fracta combines and standardizes utility data with hundreds of data points from national and regional sources. The machine learning algorithm ranks pipes with a Likelihood of Failure (LOF) rating, which is more accurate than age and leak history models and can be generated at a fraction of the time and cost. These rankings are used to develop or modify water pipe replacement plans, ultimately deferring unnecessary replacement and reducing replacement spending by 40% or more between now and 2050.
