Water Infrastructure Services & Asset Management

Water Valve Locating & Identification

Many water systems contain valves that are missing, buried, inaccessible, improperly mapped, or inaccurately documented. These issues can significantly delay emergency repairs and increase water loss during system failures.

Absolute Utility Solutions locates, identifies, and documents water distribution valves using field investigation, GPS technology, and utility records verification. Each valve location is accurately recorded and can be integrated into GIS mapping systems and asset management databases.

Benefits include - Faster emergency response, Improved system reliability, Accurate infrastructure records, Reduced maintenance costs

Valve Exercising & Operational Testing

Water valves that are not routinely operated can become seized, damaged, or inoperable over time. During emergencies, an inoperable valve can dramatically increase repair costs and service interruptions.

Absolute Utility Solutions valve exercising program verifies valve accessibility, operability, direction of operation, and overall condition. Valves are systematically operated and inspected to ensure they function properly when needed. Detailed inspection records are maintained to support asset management and regulatory compliance programs.

Benefits Include - Improved emergency preparedness, Reduced repair costs, Increased valve reliability, Better infrastructure planning

Hydrant Inspection & Maintenance

Fire hydrants are critical public safety assets that must remain fully operational for fire protection and emergency response. Routine inspections help identify mechanical issues before failures occur.

Absolute Utility Solutions performs comprehensive hydrant inspections, maintenance evaluations, operational testing, and condition assessments. We document deficiencies, verify functionality, and provide detailed reports to assist municipalities in maintaining hydrant readiness and compliance with established standards.

Benefits include - Enhanced public safety, Improved fire protection readiness, Reduced replacement costs, Accurate maintenance records

GPS/GIS Mapping

Absolute Utility Solutions can provide an accurate collection of utility asset locations using GPS technology.

Many municipalities rely on outdated paper maps or incomplete records. GIS mapping creates a reliable digital inventory of infrastructure assets that can be used for maintenance planning, emergency response, and long-term asset management

Utility Asset Inventories

Absolute Utility Solutions can provide a comprehensive field inventory of valves, hydrants, manholes, and other utility assets.

You cannot effectively maintain infrastructure that is undocumented or poorly tracked. Asset inventory provides the foundation for maintenance programs, budgeting, and regulatory compliance.

Infrastructure Condition Assessments

Absolute Utility Solutions can provide a Systematic evaluation of utility assets to identify deficiencies, maintenance needs, and replacement priorities.

This is important because: Condition assessments allow municipalities to proactively manage infrastructure before failures occur, reducing emergency repairs and extending asset life.

GIS Database Development & Asset Management

Absolute Utility Solutions can provide an Organization and management of utility infrastructure data within a GIS-based asset management system.

This is important because accurate infrastructure data helps utilities make informed maintenance decisions, improve operational efficiency, and support capital improvement planning

Utility Records Verification & Field Audits

Absolute Utility Solutions can provide a comparison of existing utility records with actual field conditions.

This is important because many utilities discover that valves, hydrants, and other assets are incorrectly mapped or missing from records. Field audits improve data accuracy and operational readiness.
