Waterclimber
Climate calculation and cost analysis for water and wastewater networks.
Waterclimber is a web-based tool that helps the civil engineering sector identify and visualise climate and cost-driving factors in water and sewer, stormwater, heavy rainfall, road and railway projects.
Planning for resilience
Sweden is at a crossroads. More than 19,000 kilometers of aging water and sewer pipelines need to be replaced, many of which were laid down over half a century ago. This enormous infrastructure challenge demands urgent action. But the tools used to plan these upgrades haven’t kept pace. Climate and cost modeling for infrastructure - especially water, sewage, stormwater, and transport systems - remains overly complex, costly, and locked behind expert knowledge.
Critical decisions are often made without a full understanding of sustainability or financial trade-offs. This challenge is intensified by new regulations like the EU’s CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), which mandates transparent climate impact reporting. Most municipalities and infrastructure firms currently lack accessible tools that meet these demands, leaving them unprepared for both compliance and future climate resilience.
Why use Waterclimber?
Waterclimber is a user-friendly digital tool that allows water and wastewater companies, municipalities, consultants, contractors and property owners to:
- Simple and reliable
Waterclimber is a robust, quality-assured climate calculation tool that works for both small and large projects in water and sewage, stormwater, road and rail. - Reliable climate and cost calculations
Based on industry methodology and third-party reviewed climate data, giving you reliable decision-making support from start to finish. - Smart prioritisation of measures
Compare different technical solutions in an intuitive web-based interface – choose the most cost-effective and climate-friendly option for your project. - Build knowledge and insight over time
Identify where the largest climate emissions and costs are – Waterclimber helps you locate hotspots and track the impact of measures. - Comply with new EU requirements for sustainability reporting
With the EU's CSRD directive coming into force in July 2024, climate reporting will become mandatory. Waterclimber makes it easy to produce CSRD-compliant report data for your annual report.
