Operational control centre of Aguas Andinas (Chile) Operational control centre of Aguas Andinas (Chile)

Own technology for an efficient performance of the distribution networks

Agbar has its own technological solutions for the water distribution network. Sectoring, GIS (geographic information system), the operational control centre, remote control stations and electronic metering, among others, form a wide range of solutions which ensure an efficient technical performance of the network.

The following advantages are offered by the introduction of specific network control mechanisms:

  • Cost reduction
  • Improvement of management
  • Contribution of criteria for the management of the search for leaks
  • Optimization of resources
  • Knowledge of the network functionality
  • Improvement of the image of the manager 

The supply network that Agbar manages extends over more than 90,000 kilometres in Spain, Chile and the United Kingdom, among other countries.
