Smallworld NRM
NRM WaTer
Smallworld NRM Water forms the basis for the efficient and comprehensive documentation of complex water distribution networks in accordance with industry standards. Mirroring the real world, the application maps all assets with their graphical and attribute characteristics – right down to the inner workings of systems or schematic representations.
Daily planning tasks are also optimally supported by the complete topological integration of planned network components.
Last but not least, the module serves as a vital foundation for network operation processes, whether for spatial orientation, data retrieval or as a decision-making aid in asset management.
Network Logic and Data Model
The Smallworld standard module ‘NRM Water’ depicts the flow of water from the waterworks to domestic connections. As in the real world, there is a structured distinction between topologically separate pipe systems:
- Extraction pipes
- Transport pipes
- Supply pipes
- Connection pipes
- Empty conduits
In addition, there are pipe types such as main pipes, supply branch pipes and shared drainage pipes. The topological relationship between abstraction, transmission, supply and connection networks is established at defined transition nodes. For example, service pipes are connected to the supply network via a branch.
Through a wide range of object classes, their interrelationships and the associated network topology, the data model supports all requirements for future-oriented water network documentation. Individually configurable catalogues ensure a high degree of flexibility and data quality.
In addition to an overview plan and a detailed as-built plan, NRM Wasser also offers comprehensive management and visualisation of plant internals and schematic plans with a uniform object reference. Higher-level objects such as pressure zones, measures and network areas are also available. Added to this is 3D capability through the recording of 3D points for plant assets and the resulting longitudinal section views.

SOPHISTICATED Process MODEL
NRM Water provides you with a wide range of tools for efficient network management, such as a wizard for recording service connections and a variety of dimensioning functions and output options. The analysis functions are equally well thought out, such as those for identifying unserved connections or for colour-coding materials.
The Water module integrates seamlessly into a multi-utility environment alongside the other standard Smallworld modules.
Complementary products for NRM Water
Operation Analyser
The Operation Analyser provides user-friendly analyses with graphical results for network operations. With just two clicks, you can, for example, identify the nearest handover point or unserved connections. Read more
Netzberechnungsschnittstellen
Use up-to-date inventory data and values from the Water module in popular network calculation programmes such as NEPLAN or STANET.
Smallworld Pipe Management
With Smallworld Pipe Management for the Electricity, Gas and Water modules, you can make use of a wide range of functions for documenting empty conduit networks and their allocation of broadband and other media. In addition to route alignments, you can visualise the trench cross-section and the pipe management objects it contains. It is also possible to combine this with NRM Electricity, Gas, Water or District Heating. more
