Springfield Water and Sewer Commission's Digital Twin of the New Backwash Facility

Abstract

Springfield Water and Sewer Commission (Commission) incorporated the recently constructed Backwash Facility into their existing computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) using a digital twin design to build a user-friendly structure, promote maintenance in a timely fashion, and integrate technological advances. Asset data was collected during construction of the facility, taking advantage of the time available to ensure that the structure was in place soon after commissioning. This work resulted in a user-friendly system that provides access to nameplate data, equipment pictures, operation and maintenance (O&M) manuals, preventative maintenance standard operation procedures (SOPs), and access to work order history.
