Case study
Topeka, Kansas: Total Risk for a lean CIP team
Three engineers managing $6.5M in annual waterline replacement. Fracta predicted 54% of failures in the highest-risk tier in year one and 65% in year two, saving $18K per project on average.

Case study
Greater Johnstown Water Authority: finding non-revenue water loss
303 miles of distribution pipe, cast iron dating to 1867. How machine learning pointed a small team to the likely sources of loss instead of the oldest pipe.

Case study
Small utilities: big-utility intelligence at a workable scale
97% of U.S. water systems are small utilities. Why Fracta fits teams with no analytics staff, tight budgets and aging networks, and what it changes for capital planning.

Likelihood of Failure
Every segment scored against 120+ variables with a probability of failure at one, two, three and five years, a percentile rank and the top five risk drivers.

Brochure
Cost of Failure
Direct and indirect cost of a break on every segment, location-aware: a side street and an arterial outside a hospital are not the same event.

Brochure
Total Risk
Likelihood multiplied by cost: dollars at risk per segment, one criticality score comparable across the whole system, and where capital should go.

Fracta by BBC StoryWorks | Monitoring Kassel’s Water Mains Network
See how Städtische Werke Netz + Service GmbH, the utility serving Kassel, Germany, uses Fracta’s AI and machine-learning technology to monitor its water distribution network and make smarter decisions about infrastructure replacement. By predicting potential leaks and water-main failures, Fracta helps the utility prioritize aging pipelines, reduce water loss, and plan for a more resilient water network.
