NamWater Asset Management Strategy, Namibia

Protecting Namibia’s valuable water infrastructure assets through strategic asset management.

Client

Namibia Water Corporation (NamWater)

Project date

2012-2013

Namibia Water Corporation (NamWater) initiated a comprehensive asset management strategy to improve the availability and reliability of its water infrastructure. Zutari was appointed to review NamWater’s existing asset management practices and develop a policy, strategy and maintenance master plan to guide future operations.

The opportunity

NamWater required a structured approach to managing its infrastructure assets, including a review of maintenance activities, standards and procedures. The goal was to enhance operational efficiency, reduce downtime and ensure long-term sustainability of water services across Namibia.

What we did

Zutari, in collaboration with Pragma, provided a range of asset management services, including:

  • Development of a high-level maintenance master plan and budget

  • Creation of maintenance plans for all assets

  • Criticality analysis of water schemes

  • Establishment of a standard asset hierarchy

  • Evaluation of existing information and systems

  • Review of NamWater’s computerised maintenance management system (CMMS)

  • Development and implementation of detailed annual maintenance schedules and budgets


The process involved detailed discussions with NamWater staff and benchmarking against industry best practices. The final deliverables were reviewed and signed off at board level, demonstrating NamWater’s commitment to implementing the improvement plan.
NamWater infrastructure assets across Namibia, supported by a robust asset management strategy.

The outcome

The project laid the foundation for a more reliable and efficient water infrastructure network in Namibia. By formalising asset management practices and aligning them with international standards, NamWater is better equipped to manage its resources and deliver consistent service to communities.

Zutari’s involvement in the NamWater Asset Management Strategy reflects the importance of proactive infrastructure planning. The project supports long-term sustainability and resilience, ensuring that Namibia’s water assets continue to serve the nation effectively.

NamWater initiated an asset management policy, strategy and maintenance master plan to improve infrastructure availability and reliability.
