PANORAMA OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR'S PARTICIPATION IN SANITATION 2021
Despite all investments, the concessionaire
has the main challenge in Araguaína: that
of raising awareness of environmental and
public health issues involving water and
sewage services. The irregular release of
rainwater and garbage into sewage collec-
tion systems is recurrent.
A NEW SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FRONTIER FOR BRAZIL
Aegea Group
Group - Infra Inteligente Programme
Balneário Gaivota (SC)
Full Concession
The concessionaire Gaivota Saneamento
(Atlantis Group) has operated the water
supply service in the municipality since
2018. The company makes use of the Wa-
terGems system to control the WTP. The
software allows the analysis of the main-
pipe distribution capacity and projects the
expansion of networks to places not yet
served within the municipality as well as
suggesting points for improvement in ex-
isting networks.
Thanks to the new system, the concession-
aire is able to make continuous improve-
ments in the system to ensure regular sup-
ply to the city's 11,000 inhabitants.
The concessionaire has also presented very
highly satisfactory results with the engage-
ment of a commercial team to increase
the hydrometers reading. The company
reached an annual average of 99.84% out
of 5,107 connections.
For this, processes were created in order to
solve difficulties shown by the team, such
as access impediments and sight impair-
ments among readers. Once the difficulties
are presented, the team seeks to solve the
problem in the shortest possible time, get-
ting the other commercial areas involved.
Launched in 2018, The Aegea Group's Infra
Inteligente Programme was initially applied
to the concessionaire's new tasks last year.
So far, nine cities in the Greater Porto Alegre
Metropolitan Area, as well as Cariacica (ES)
and 68 municipalities of Mato Grosso do
Sul are already using the new technology.
With the use of intelligent 3D virtual mod-
els of the Building Information Modeling
(BIM) methodology, the concessionaires'
physical asset bases were mapped and
digitalized to create digital twins (digital
copies of physical installations), which al-
low improvements to processes, reduction
of costs, shorter maintenance times, and
fewer outages.
Considered innovative for this segment
in the country, this programme combines
strategic business methodologies and
the most advanced technologies (such as
drones, 3D BIM modeling, digital twins and
artificial intelligence). Infra Inteligente is be-
ing phased in, in all 126 municipalities of
the 12 states of the country served by the
Group, with a total population of 11 million.
Among the main benefits we have the
generated digital models of networks and
treatment plants that increase operational
efficiency and optimize investment in new
works, as well as improving the availabili-
ty and quality of water supply and sewage
collection and treatment services. There is
also the management of technical informa-
tion throughout the life cycle of the infra-
structure, from construction engineering to
the systems' operation and maintenance.
This results in greater collaboration among
technical areas, focusing on more assertive
decisions in all phases of the water cycle.
