Tonight, I hosted my first and the Company’s fifth webinar titled “Capital Digital Solutions - Embracing digital technology to drive water efficiencies in London” presented by Andy Taylor, Chief Engineer and Digital Transformation Lead, Atkins Global. Andy demonstrated how Atkins are using digital technology to automate routine activities and develop new digital tools to operate more efficiently via a wide-ranging set of example case studies.
The examples included a tool (called RATS) to automate and speed up the review of sewer CCTV data to identify and prioritise rehabilitation needs (see picture below) to a digital process called NetCreate that uses global open source GIS datasets to automatically create and cost an outline wastewater network on a repeatable basis for use in developing countries.
All of this was extremely thought providing and generated a lively question and answer session after the main presentation. My thanks go to Andy for an excellent presentation and to Past Master Simon Catford for admirably managing the zoom technology once again. I look forward to our next webinar on 11th November when Court Assistant, David Lloyd will be giving us an important update on the progress monitoring Covid-19 in our sewers.
