Mark Enzer, OBE FREng, joins the steering group for BIM4Water, providing high-level insight into how digital transformation and connected digital twins can be developed in the water sector.

Mark Enzer has pioneered digital transformation in the water sector
Nominated in 2023, Mark brings a wealth of leadership experience and influence from which the BIM4Water Group and the Water Industry as a whole will benefit.
Mark was the keynote speaker at the British Water Data Conference in November 2022, where he reiterated how digital innovations could enable the sector to excel.
Digital innovation could unleash the sector’s potential- but only with collaborative efforts
“The water sector is focussed on achieving the urgent environmental, social and economic outcomes needed to make us fit for purpose in AMP8 and further into the future,” says Enzer. “Technology, data and analytics will play a leading role in getting us there.
“However, it’s very rare that an individual technology can be a silver bullet and tackle all the water sector’s problems. They key is companies taking a number of different technologies and joining them up with a purpose to achieve better outcomes.”
