Idrostudi is one of Europe's leading engineering companies: over twenty years across consulting and applied research on water resource management. iCg is its cloud platform for the proactive management of sewerage systems and urban drainage, built for engineers and water utility operators.
On these networks, problems surface late — once the overflow or the flooding has already happened. Getting ahead of them takes two unglamorous but decisive things: continuous, reliable field data, and a way to read it fast. If the data doesn't arrive, or arrives dirty, everything above it — models, scenarios, decisions — rests on nothing.
The platform is in production, serving engineers and water utility operators. Monitoring receives field signals continuously and watches its own reliability; the digital twin uses them to simulate the network. Our layer is what holds the two together: data that arrives clean, and an interface that makes it readable for the people who decide.
- 01
The hydraulic domain and the models are Idrostudi's. We built the two cross-cutting layers both live modules rest on: data collection and the interface.
- 02
Data collection: the layer that brings field signals into the platform — flow, water level, water quality, rainfall from gauges — and that watches itself, with alarms on sensor anomalies and on data transmission. Monitoring is only worth as much as the data feeding it.
- 03
Interface: the layer engineers and utility operators use to read the network, with integrated GIS features, and reach a decision without going through a spreadsheet.
- 04
The same two layers also serve the digital twin, which simulates network scenarios on Autodesk InfoWorks ICM. The asset management module is on the roadmap.

You've seen a case that works. Yours probably looks a lot like it.
Let's start from the process costing you the most hours: a short call to see whether it's worth acting, and with what return.
