Pipeline Risk
Prioritizing replacement and leak detection based on risk ensures better ROI
Balancing Service, Quality and Growing Pressures
Water utilities face increasing pressure to maintain reliable services due to budget constraints, rising operational costs, workforce shortages, population growth, and extreme weather impacts. Traditional approaches to leak detection and replacement planning lack precision, stretching limited resources thin and reduced effectiveness.
Optimizing Leak Detection and Pipeline Replacements with Risk-Based Insights
Rezatec’s Pipeline Risk solution provides predictive, risk-based insights enabling water utilities to proactively manage their pipeline infrastructure. By accurately identifying high-risk segments, utilities can better plan leak detection efforts and prioritize pipeline replacements, significantly reducing costs and increasing operational efficiency.
Accurately Predict Failures
Validated for every customer, Rezatec’s Pipeline Risk solution predicts over 70% of pipeline failures within the top 30% highest-risk network segments. Our sophisticated machine learning models are trained on historic failure data combined with over 100 environmental and geospatial datasets—including satellite imagery—to create tailored failure predictions specific to your utility’s local conditions.
Effectively Prioritize Investment
An effective replacement program lowers emergency repair costs and water loss. Rezatec beats simple age and material based prioritisation. Using our proven machine learning model Pipeline Risk better prioritises the network for replacement programs according to budget, risk position or other goals. The result is an improved return on investment over traditional methods.
Improve Operational Efficiency
Rezatec’s actionable insights dramatically enhance leak detection effectiveness—identifying up to 5x more leaks per mile surveyed. With targeted, data-driven guidance, leak detection teams become more productive, leaks are resolved faster and water loss is reduced.
Whatever your utility’s leak detection or replacement goals, Rezatec’s solution is designed to fit your needs.

Trusted Globally for Pipeline Risk Management
“Rezatec’s technology provides a comprehensive view of our entire system and helps us to understand where our network is likely to fail. It’s the most logical, best first place to start. Then, following Rezatec’s assessment, we could use some of the more pinpointed definitive pipe condition detection technologies based within the areas showing a high likelihood of failure.”
– Rick Wahlen, Utilities Operations Manager, Eden Prairie
“I was proud to lead this project and bring AI/ML solutions to WaterOne in an effort to advance our asset management and infrastructure planning programs. Rezatec was the ideal vendor for this pilot program and I’m pleased to say it was a resounding success!”
– Jason Beyer, GIS Lead, WaterOne

Harness Machine Learning
Rezatec leverages advanced machine learning algorithms, trained specifically on your network’s historic failure data to deliver the most accurate pipeline failure predictions available. The model combines the network data e.g. age, material etc with environmental datasets and identifies the signature of failure for that specific network. This means each utility benefits from tailored predictions, uniquely suited to local conditions and asset characteristics.
Geospatial Intelligence
Rezatec visualises data geospatially to provide new insights for utility leaders. It integrates diverse geospatial datasets—including satellite radar, optical imagery, soil characteristics, environmental factors, and infrastructure conditions—to provide a more accurate failure prediction, to map the consequences of that failure and to pick up what more traditional methods often miss. These insights put Rezatec’s customers ahead of the curve for proactive network management.
