"It’s even more data-driven than our previous approach and gives us confidence in our decisions"

Golden State Water Company, an investor-owned regulated utility serving over 1 million customers across 81 communities in California, sought to modernize its pipe replacement planning approach while balancing risk reduction, cost, and community impact. To achieve this, Golden State Water partnered with Trinnex to implement an enhanced, data-driven risk prioritization and optimization framework.

The solution included:

Developing a robust GIS-based risk model evaluating Likelihood of Failure (LoF) and Consequence of Failure (CoF)
Applying spatial clustering to group high-risk pipes into compact, construction-ready replacement packages
Using multi-objective optimization to balance risk reduction, cost efficiency, and construction impacts

By automating a previously manual process, Golden State Water gained a repeatable and defensible methodology that improved buildability, streamlined project packaging, and supported regulatory justification for investment decisions.
