The AW Digital Twin Definition “Our Digital Twin can be defined as an integrated accurate digital representation of our physical assets, systems and treatment processes. It will unlock value by enabling improved insights that support better decisions, leading to better outcomes in the physical world”.

Are Digital Twins here to stay? Digital Twins are not new- ask NASA. Developing and maintaining a Digital Twin is now more efficient, cost effective and value adding due to advancements in technology. With companies such as Microsoft and Samsung using Digital Twin terminology and the Internet of things- it’s safe to say Digital Twins are more than just hype.
The Water Sector are in the midst of a Digital Transformation, and there are already significant challenges to overcome. Working Challenges towards a Digital Twin will help us to overcome some of the challenges faced across the wider Organisation.

• Smart assets form part of Welsh Water’s strategic responses, outlined in its 2050 vision. Digital Twins will enable us to create, maintain and operate Smart assets. • In working towards a Digital Twin we need to use BIM processes and concepts. Benefits for BIM alone have been quantified and estimate savings of between 0.7% and 1.4% of capital expenditure. For whole life expenditure this saving is increased to between 1.5% and 3%. Benefits (Source: PWC’s BIM Level 2 Benefits Measurement report, March 2018) • Commercial opportunities exist with a Digital Water sector fast emerging within the global water market. (Source: Digital Water- A White Paper by the UK Water Partnership, May 2020) • Our ability to transfer data and information to and from Partner Organisations and across the Water Sector will become more efficient through working towards a Digital Twin.
