Description
Why must the water sector innovate and standardise? Because AMP8 presents a number of new and different challenges such as affordability, productivity and deliverability.
As United Utilities embarks on its largest ever capital programme, Dan Heywood, Standardisation Manager at United Utilities, explores how and why the UKs largest listed water company merged their innovation and standardisation teams - and how their standardisation programme is already progressing in the North West.
Dan examines the four key workstreams of their SSB - Standardisation and Innovation, including Standard First, Innovation Pipeline, Performance & Value Management and Asset Maintenance Feedback - and key examples of innovation at United Utilities.
Key Topics Include:
- Outlining how United Utilities carefully and sensibly removed asset standards and allowed for flexibility and innovation.
- Discussing their standardisation programme and the resultant benefits.
- Explaining the four key workstreams of SSB (Standard Solutions and Innovation), from standardisation through to performance management and feedback.
- Highlighting innovation examples such as the use of natural coagulants and construction productivity savings.
