Aging Infrastructure. Disconnected Systems. Risks You Can’t Ignore.  

Water utilities face mounting pressure. Many still rely on legacy or homegrown systems that lack spatial tracking, are dependent on institutional knowledge, and do not support proactive maintenance.  

Key Pain Points include:  

  • Out-dated, non-integrated technology or paper-based systems 
  • Loss of institutional knowledge as experienced staff retire 
  • Poor visibility into asset health and lifecycle needs 
  • Disconnected workflows between the field and office 
  • High cost of maintaining outdated or duplicative systems 
  • Increased scrutiny around compliance, reporting and environmental standards 

 

At NV5, we deliver a smarter, future-proof asset management approach—so your operations stay efficient, even as your infrastructure ages. 

“Rapid Ready” Solutions Come at a High Cost

Vendors may offer “quick start” packages, but these often lack GIS integration, skip critical data prep, and fail to support long-term scalability. NV5 has replaced these systems for frustrated clients—because speed without strategy is a recipe for long-term pain. 

What they don’t tell you:  

  • You’ll still be responsible for preparing GIS data 
  • Core training and post-deployment support are often left out 
  • Their “solutions” aren’t truly scalable or future-ready 
  • Many clients end up needing costly rework or even full replacement

Harness the Power of Geospatial Analysis

Our end-to-end capabilities extend from acquiring accurate, high-quality geospatial data to analyzing and visualizing that data using custom viewers and enterprise GIS. We've developed unique solutions across the lifecycle of distribution management, from vegetation management to engineering as-builts for maintenance and asset data management.

Our expertise addresses critical questions for utilities, such as:​

  • Optimal layout of new distribution networks.

  • Precise locations and conditions of poles, including compliance with regulations.

  • Detailed inventory of pole attachments and capacity assessments.

  • Identification of vegetation encroachments near power lines.

  • Prioritization of maintenance activities based on data-driven insights.

The insights we provide help utilities plan for growth, streamline operations, mitigate risk, and maintain compliance.
