From Blanket Replacement Programs to Targeted Risk-Based Service Line

Case Study

Stedin NV manages more than 23,000 kilometers of gas distribution pipelines and serves 1.9 million home connections in the Netherlands. Using SkyGeo’s door-by-door displacement risk estimates, Stedin can identify which service lines are most at risk and prioritize maintenance accordingly, reducing unnecessary digging and improving how maintenance budgets are spent.

 

  • 23,000+ kilometers of gas distribution pipelines managed by Stedin NV.

  • 1.9 million home connections across Stedin’s service area.

  • 30,000 displacement time series delivered across a 3 km² pilot area in Portland.

  • More than 800 service connections were originally scheduled for replacement.

  • Only 20% of service lines were found to be high risk and prioritized for maintenance.

  • More than €850,000 in planned maintenance was reassessed using measured displacement risk.

  • Up to €1,500 cost to excavate and check a single connection.

  • Hundreds of thousands of euros saved in Portland alone.
