    Greenbank Group logo

    Greenbank Group

    United Kingdom

    A specialist engineering company with a global customer base. Greenbank provides a wide range of products and services to companies operating across a number of industries and is now establishing itself in the clean and wastewater sector. For many years the company has utilised the unique properties of volcanic basalt for lining products used in heavy industries such as power generation and minerals extraction. In partnership with Czech firm Eutit, the company has also been pioneering the use of basalt in the renovation and restoration of sewer systems in central European following a series of successful projects in Prague. As a result of devastating floods, the city’s sewer system was extensively rebuilt and upgraded with basalt being used in a number of key locations to provide a new level of security to the system. More than a decade on, the new system continues to perform well and has set a standard that’s now been followed in other European cities. Well suited for the most demanding of applications, thanks to the partnership between Greenbank and Eutit, a wide range of basalt solutions are now available in the UK market. These include products and systems that bring a wide range of benefits to the industry, including: Basalt tiles that can also be used to line existing brickwork, a more cost-effective solution than full replacement, and their reduced drag co-efficient means improved flow – in effect a smaller-diameter pipe or tunnel lined with basalt can carry a higher volume of water than a larger one with traditional brick surfaces. The effective life expectancy of basalt-lined sewer systems is between 100 and 200 years, thanks to their excellent resistance to abrasion and chemical damage – as well as the rigours of high-pressure water jetting that’s often used to clear unwanted blockages. For larger round or ovoid systems, basalt can be used in the lower sections to deal with the wear and tear with concrete upper sections to provide optimum life performance. Alternatively, steel pipes lined with basalt can be produced up to 3000mm diameter producing a lighter therefore lower cost installation option to thick wall concrete. Ease of installation and reduced maintenance costs make basalt ideal for bottom gutters, branch pipes and tubes and slip-resistant elements for walkways, and Greenbank can also supply bespoke-shaped tiles to meet the unique requirements of individual clients. With manufacturing facilities in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, supported by the additional capacity and expertise provided by the latest addition to the group, Franklyn Yates Engineering, Greenbank is well placed to react quickly and efficiently to the needs of new and existing clients.

    Vendors and Integrators Delivering Digital Water Solutions

    The digital water vendor landscape segments into four tiers: (1) full-stack platform vendors (Suez Aquadvanced, Veolia AQ.IO, Bentley iTwin Water, Autodesk Water Infrastructure) offering end-to-end SCADA + GIS + hydraulic twin + analytics; (2) AMI and metering specialists (Itron, Sensus + Xylem, Diehl Metering, Kamstrup, Badger Meter) providing smart meters + communication networks + MDM software; (3) point-solution specialists (Innovyze for hydraulic modeling, Pluto AI for treatment optimization, KETOS for water quality, Fracta for pipe condition, Klir for compliance, FATHOM for customer engagement); (4) systems integrators (Black & Veatch, Stantec, AECOM, Jacobs digital practices) connecting OT, IT, and data layers.

    Procurement considerations: (1) reference verification — demand 3+ utility references at comparable scale and complexity with permission to visit operations; (2) total cost of ownership over 10 years including subscription escalation (typical 3–5%/year), training, integration, and end-of-life data migration; (3) cybersecurity certifications (IEC 62443 SL-2 minimum, ISO 27001 for vendor SaaS hosting, SOC 2 Type II); (4) data residency and sovereignty for EU GDPR, US state laws, GCC; (5) road map for AI/ML capabilities — vendor R&D investment as % of revenue; (6) interoperability with legacy SCADA (typically Wonderware, Rockwell, Schneider, Siemens).

    Implementation model: vendor + systems integrator + utility staff triumvirate is the most successful pattern. SI provides project management, change management, integration engineering, training. Vendor provides product expertise, software updates, escalation support. Utility owns business outcomes, data, and operational decisions. Typical large-utility transformation: $5–50M+ capex, 3–7 year timeline, dedicated PMO. Aguato lists digital-water companies across full-stack platform, AMI, point-solution, and SI categories with verified utility deployment references.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I run a digital water RFP?

    5-stage process: (1) RFI to 15–25 vendors to map landscape and qualify (12 weeks); (2) shortlist to 6–8 vendors based on RFI response quality and reference fit; (3) detailed RFP covering technical, commercial, cybersecurity, and service-level requirements (10 weeks); (4) vendor demonstrations + reference site visits (8 weeks); (5) commercial negotiation with top 2 finalists and contract award (6 weeks). Total ~9–12 months. Include weighted evaluation: 35% technical capability, 25% references and proven scale, 20% TCO, 10% cybersecurity, 10% strategic partnership fit. Avoid lowest-bid awards — digital water is a long-term partnership, not a commodity.

    Should I select a single full-stack vendor or best-of-breed point solutions?

    Full-stack (Suez, Veolia, Bentley): single throat to choke, pre-integrated stack, faster initial deployment, but locked into vendor roadmap and pricing escalation. Best-of-breed: pick specialist leader for each capability (Itron meters + Innovyze hydraulics + Pluto AI + Klir compliance), but requires strong integration architecture and project-management bandwidth. Recommendation: full-stack for utilities <50,000 connections without strong in-house tech team; best-of-breed for utilities >100,000 connections with mature IT capability or specialist needs unmet by full-stack platforms (e.g., advanced AI water quality modeling).

    What service-level agreements should I demand from a digital water vendor?

    Cloud SaaS platforms: 99.9% availability (≤8.7 hours downtime/year), with $-denominated service credits for breach. Data: 99.999999999% durability (11-nines) for historical data, encryption at rest and in transit, customer-controlled keys. Support: 24/7 P1 incident response within 15 minutes, escalation to vendor engineering within 2 hours. Software updates: minimum quarterly minor releases, major version annually with 24-month support overlap. Security: SOC 2 Type II + ISO 27001 audit reports provided annually, penetration test annually. Contract term: 3–5 years with co-terminus renewal for stack components.

    How do utilities benchmark digital water maturity against peers?

    Three established frameworks are used: the AWWA Digital Water Roadmap (12 capability domains, 4 maturity levels, free assessment tool); the IWA Digital Water Programme maturity model (5 levels across 7 dimensions, international scope); and the Bluefield Research / IDC Digital Water Maturity Index (commercial, US-focused). Top-quartile utilities globally (Singapore PUB, Berlin BWB, Yarra Valley, Anglian Water, San Francisco SFPUC) score Stage 3 to 4. Most utilities globally score Stage 1 to 2. Benchmarking accelerates board buy-in for digital programmes by quantifying gaps versus peer utilities of similar size and geography.

    Case Study·UK water company, 80,000 connections, digital water platform procurement and implementation
    Challenge

    A mid-size water company needed to replace three end-of-life data systems (SCADA historian, asset management, and customer meter billing) with an integrated digital water platform. The procurement process had to comply with Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and Ofwat's Transparency Principle. Four vendors reached the final evaluation stage after a 9-month competitive process.

    Approach

    A weighted evaluation framework was used: 35% technical capability (demonstrated integration with Schneider SCADA and Esri GIS), 25% references at comparable scale (3+ utility references at 60,000 to 120,000 connections), 20% TCO over 10 years (SaaS subscription plus integration plus change management), 10% cybersecurity (IEC 62443 SL-2 documentation), 10% strategic fit (AI/ML roadmap and open API commitment). The winning vendor provided a live demonstration integrating with the utility's actual SCADA historian.

    Outcome

    Platform selected and contracted at GBP 6.8M over 5 years (initial term). Integration with 22 SCADA PLCs and Esri GIS completed in 8 months. Operator dashboard adoption reached 78% of field staff within 6 months. Hydraulic model calibration to AMI data improved model accuracy from 34% within target to 82%. Annual Ofwat data submission time reduced from 6 weeks to 8 days.

    Questions to Ask Shortlisted Providers

    1. 1

      How do I run a digital water RFP that complies with Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and attracts best-in-class vendors without limiting competition?

      UK water companies as utility purchasers may be subject to the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 for digital procurement. An improperly structured RFP that excludes competent international vendors or fails to justify sole-source selection risks challenge and delay. Vendors should confirm their legal status (UCR vs. PCR applicability) before designing the procurement process.

    2. 2

      What reference site visits can we make to utilities of similar connection count in the UK or Europe that have been operating the platform for at least 24 months?

      Vendor demonstration environments are not representative of production deployment performance. Reference visits to live utilities with 24 months of operational data reveal real-world latency, data quality issues, user adoption rates, and support response times that are absent from proposal documents.

    3. 3

      What is the vendor's annual R&D investment as a percentage of revenue and what is the product roadmap for AI/ML capabilities over the next 3 years?

      Digital water platform vendors spending below 15% of revenue on R&D are unlikely to maintain capability parity with newer entrants. AI/ML features (predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, automated reporting) are differentiating capabilities that need active investment. Vendors without published roadmaps are likely to under-invest in the features that drive long-term ROI.

    4. 4

      What is your data residency policy for UK customer data and does your cloud platform comply with UK GDPR and the UK government's cloud security framework (NCSC Cloud Security Principles)?

      UK water companies processing personal data (smart meter readings, customer accounts) on cloud platforms must comply with UK GDPR data-residency requirements. Cloud platforms with UK data residency options and NCSC CSP alignment (formerly G-Cloud) reduce the regulatory and insurance risk associated with cross-border data transfer.

    5. 5

      What is your professional service team's composition for this implementation (UK-resident versus offshore) and what is your standard implementation governance model?

      Digital water implementations with offshore-heavy delivery teams frequently experience communication delays, time-zone misalignment with SCADA teams, and underestimation of UK-specific regulatory and operational context. UK-based programme managers and solution architects with water industry experience are a meaningful differentiator for utility-sector implementations.

    What Drives Cost in This Category

    RFP and procurement process cost (legal, evaluation, governance)

    A fully compliant Utilities Contracts Regulations procurement for a GBP 5M to GBP 10M digital water platform costs GBP 80K to GBP 200K in staff time, legal review, and evaluation scoring. Utilities that skip competitive procurement to sole-source preferred vendors face audit risk and Ofwat regulatory transparency challenges.

    Systems integrator (SI) selection and scope relative to vendor delivery scope

    The split between platform vendor professional services and third-party SI can dramatically affect implementation cost. Vendor-led delivery at GBP 300 to GBP 600/day is typically 20 to 40% cheaper than SI rates of GBP 800 to GBP 1,400/day, but vendors may lack independence in resolving integration challenges with their own platform. Best practice is a competent client-side project manager overseeing both.

    Data quality remediation before platform migration

    Utilities with legacy data quality issues (duplicate asset records, missing GIS coordinates, incomplete meter histories) must invest GBP 100K to GBP 400K in data cleansing before platform migration. Attempting to migrate dirty data and clean it post-migration is 3 to 5 times more expensive than pre-migration cleansing because platform users encounter errors that erode trust and adoption.

    Post-implementation support tier and vendor SLA selection

    Standard SaaS support tiers range from email-only at GBP 0 to GBP 20K/year to dedicated account management and 4-hour response at GBP 60K to GBP 150K/year. For critical OT-connected platforms, premium support is justified: a 4-hour versus 24-hour response commitment to a P1 SCADA integration failure can mean the difference between a minor incident and a compliance event.

    Key Regulations & Standards

    Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (UCR 2016)

    UK water companies as 'utility entities' must procure digital contracts above the relevant threshold (GBP 428,744 for supplies and services as of 2024) under UCR 2016. This requires competition through the Find a Tender Service (FTS), clear award criteria, and standstill periods before contract award. Non-compliant procurement is subject to challenge and contract ineffectiveness.

    UK NIS Regulations 2018 and NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF)

    Water companies deploying digital water platforms that connect OT (SCADA, sensors) to IT networks must complete a NIS CAF self-assessment. Ofwat as the competent authority under NIS for water reviews CAF submissions and may require independent audit of cyber resilience measures implemented as part of digital transformation programmes.

    Ofwat Procurement and Commercial Policy (Transparency Principle)

    Ofwat's Wholesale and Retail Charges Regulatory Framework requires water companies to procure efficiently and transparently. Sole-source digital procurement awards without competitive tender require documented justification under the Procurement and Commercial Policy. Inefficient procurement can lead to Ofwat disallowing related costs from the regulated asset base.

    ISO 27001:2022 Information Security Management (Vendor Cloud Hosting)

    Digital water platform vendors hosting utility data on cloud infrastructure should hold ISO 27001:2022 certification. UK water companies should also verify SOC 2 Type II audit reports for vendors with US-based cloud infrastructure, confirming security controls, availability, and confidentiality have been independently tested within the last 12 months.
