Real-Time Monitoring for Critical Infrastructure in Remote Communities
Norman Risk Consulting delivers continuous infrastructure monitoring tailored to the unique challenges of northern and remote municipalities. Our solutions provide real-time data on essential assets, enabling early detection of potential issues and reducing costly downtime. By focusing on daily system performance, we help communities maintain reliable services despite limited resources and extended response times.
Our monitoring technology is engineered to withstand harsh environments and deliver actionable insights that support proactive maintenance. This approach minimizes risks to residents and the environment by addressing problems before they escalate. With Norman Risk Consulting, municipalities gain the visibility and control needed to safeguard critical infrastructure effectively.
What We Monitor
We deploy non-invasive monitoring systems on high-risk municipal assets, including:
- Sewage lift stations
- Wastewater and water treatment systems
- Pumps, motors, and electrical equipment
- Other critical infrastructure where failure leads to service disruptions or environmental risk
The system continuously captures key performance indicators such as pump run times, amperage draw, start and stop cycles, flow trends, and abnormal operating conditions.
Turn Data Into Action
Data alone doesn’t reduce risk. We help municipalities interpret what the data is telling them and apply it in practical ways. By establishing performance baselines, we can identify changes in system behaviour that indicate wear, blockages, infiltration, or developing mechanical and electrical issues.
This allows communities to:
- Detect problems weeks before failure occurs
- Shift from emergency response to planned maintenance
- Reduce after-hours and holiday callouts
- Extend the life of existing equipment
- Improve operational confidence for staff and leadership
Designed for Practical Use
Our monitoring systems are built to be:
- Affordable and scalable
- Easy to understand and use
- Compatible with existing infrastructure
- Supportive of local operators, not burdensome
We focus on solutions that improve day-to-day operations without adding unnecessary complexity or administrative workload.
Real-Time Visibility and Alerts
All monitoring data is transmitted to a secure, cloud-based dashboard accessible to operators and decision-makers. Optional alerts notify staff when conditions exceed normal operating ranges, allowing issues to be addressed before they escalate into outages or overflows.
Community Impact
Fewer infrastructure failures mean fewer sewer backups, reduced environmental risk, lower emergency costs, and increased confidence for residents, businesses, and insurers. Infrastructure monitoring helps communities protect public health, control costs, and plan for the future with confidence.
