Result and advantages of using computer models to perform modelling and master planning

The most prominent results and advantages of computerization, optimization and master planning of a system are:

• Important information about the system is contained in one single computerized database. This also forms the basis for asset registers and asset management plans.
• The computer model forms the platform for performing of e.g. water age and quality analysis as well as system risk and redundancy assessment and planning.
• The effect of emergencies or extensions to the system can easily and quickly be tested with the computer model, which makes day-to-day management much easier.
• Annual budgeting for system extensions and replacements can be based on the cost estimates of each stage of the master plan.
• Costs contributions by large scale users are based on the master plan in a scientific manner.
• Organized master planning that includes risk based investment planning for component refurbishment or replacement prevents ad hoc planning and ensures optimal use of finances.
• Incurring a relatively low expense once results in future savings on planning costs and capital expenditure.
• Experience has shown that optimizing of systems saves an average of twenty to thirty percent on project costs compared to capital works that have been planned according to past methods.
