Opportunity:

Using the power of real-time data management can bringhuge efficiencies to the way we manage our water andwastewater assets.

Solution:

We developed H2knOw-how – an innovative sensor-based water visualisation tool – to bring real-timeunderstanding and better management to water andwastewater networks.

Outcome:

H2knOw-how is being used by 12 local authorities tostreamline asset management, improving service,releasing capacity, and cutting costs.

Page 52: Smart Systems? · learning Rule-based automation Optimisation algorithms Decision Support tools Modelling Middleware Analytics Assets Customers Costs Data storage Data cleansing Data

Opportunity:

Climate change is causing increasing incidents of coastalflooding, where tidal surges overtop flood defences.Visualising the impact will help mitigate the effects.

Solution:

Our Water and Wave Overtopping Tool (WWOT) bringstogether a GIS model with LiDAR data, aerialphotography and Ordnance Survey information to modelthe impact of coastal flooding.

Outcome:

Understanding the impact of coastal flooding enables usto improve flood defences, adapt relief strategies andbetter plan infrastructure investment for at risk areas.

ProjectOsprey trafficmanagement system

ClientVarious UK local authorities

LocationVarious locations, UK

ExpertiseTraffic management, smartinfrastructure

Page 54: Smart Systems? · learning Rule-based automation Optimisation algorithms Decision Support tools Modelling Middleware Analytics Assets Customers Costs Data storage Data cleansing Data

Opportunity:

UK motorists spend over 100 hours stuck in trafficjams each year. With limited scope to expand theroad network, smart solutions are needed to increaseefficiency of the road network.

Solution:

Osprey uses multiple data sources to give trafficmanagers a real-time view of how the road networkis being used, enabling congestion to monitored andmitigated through human or automated responses.

Outcome:

Osprey is now being used by 14 local authoritiesin the UK, improving traffic management andcutting congestion.

ProjectRemote sensing-basedInformation and Insurancefor Crops in EmergingEconomies (RIICE)

ClientInternational RiceResearch Institute (IRRI)

LocationEast and South East Asia

ExpertiseCost benefit analysis

Page 56: Smart Systems? · learning Rule-based automation Optimisation algorithms Decision Support tools Modelling Middleware Analytics Assets Customers Costs Data storage Data cleansing Data

Opportunity:

Rice accounts for one fifth of all calories consumedworldwide. Damage to production can have acatastrophic impact on health and the economy,especially in the rice-producing countries of Asia.

Solution:

Radar-based imaging by satellite enables the regionalgrowth of rice crop to be monitored, allowing shortfalls inyield to be predicted and relief strategies to be put inplace. A regional insurance scheme helped mitigateeconomic losses.

Outcome:

RIICE has improved food security and economicresilience in six Asian countries, while enabling scientiststo monitor the long-term effects of climate change on riceproduction.

ProjectJaipur Smart City

ClientJaipur Nagar Nigam

LocationRajasthan, India

ExpertiseStakeholder engagementand urban masterplanning

Page 58: Smart Systems? · learning Rule-based automation Optimisation algorithms Decision Support tools Modelling Middleware Analytics Assets Customers Costs Data storage Data cleansing Data

Opportunity:

The Indian government has set the goal of developing100 smart cities which are socially inclusive, sustainableand prosperous.

Solution:

We worked with stakeholders and local citizens todevelop a masterplan for Jaipur, leading to it comingahead of 97 rival cities.

Outcome:

Jaipur is now lined up for transformation into a smart city,allowing its residents and businesses to tap into thedigital economy.

ProjectCarbon Portal

ClientVarious

LocationWorldwide

ExpertiseData handlingand modelling

Page 60: Smart Systems? · learning Rule-based automation Optimisation algorithms Decision Support tools Modelling Middleware Analytics Assets Customers Costs Data storage Data cleansing Data

Opportunity:

Cutting carbon cuts costs, but until now there were notools to quantify the emissions footprint of individualBIM objects to help drive down carbon during thedesign process.

Solution:

We developed the first ever BIM-enabled carboncalculator which accurately quantifies capital andoperational carbon emissions for entire assets basedon each single BIM object.

Outcome:

We have used the Carbon Portal to optimise designand cut carbon for several clients, leading to cheaper,more sustainable assets.

ProjectHeathrow Terminal 2

ClientBAA

LocationLondon, UK

ExpertiseDesign, manage andintegrate (DMI) role

Page 62: Smart Systems? · learning Rule-based automation Optimisation algorithms Decision Support tools Modelling Middleware Analytics Assets Customers Costs Data storage Data cleansing Data

Opportunity:

Our team was chosen to design the complex ICT systemfor the £2.5bn Terminal 2 project and then to overseeprogramme delivery.

Solution:

We designed and coordinated the entire ICT systemincluding data networks, wireless and cellularcommunications, radio, security and search, CCTV,access control, building management, lighting controland displays.

Outcome:

We achieved successful implementation of the entire ICTsystem with the airport-wide ICT system, on time and onbudget, meeting Heathrow’s commercial, technical,reliability and security objectives.
