COF Overview

COF (Consequence of Failure) is the application that determines the consequences, or severity, of failure and quantifies the direct and indirect dollar costs of water main failures, using a Triple Bottom Line (TBL) monetized approach. COF brings monetized risk into a utility’s toolkit, removing subjectivity from difficult decision making.

COF analysis uses a configurable user interface for utilities to customize, visualize, and evaluate direct and indirect costs associated with the failure of their pipe assets. Examples include: repair costs, traffic disruption, service to critical facilities etc.
