Challenges we address

Aging infrastructure

Balancing urgent repairs with long-term investment needs is a constant challenge when funding can’t keep up with infrastructure renewal and maintenance needs.

Data in silos

Critical data gets stuck in spreadsheets across departments, making it hard to get a clear, unified view of asset condition and performance.

Reactive maintenance cycles

Without a unified view, maintenance often happens after failures occur, driving higher costs and longer service disruptions.

Growing pressure on public systems

Climate change, rapid housing development, and shifting service demands are putting unprecedented strain on infrastructure built for a bygone era.

Limited funding options

Municipalities only receive ten percent of every tax dollar collected across Canada, and somehow must make up billions of dollars in infrastructure deficits.

How Asset Investment Planning transforms municipal infrastructure

Municipalities manage diverse infrastructure portfolios that deliver essential services to citizens and local businesses. Direxyon helps local governments create long-term investment plans that balance budgets, extend asset life, and improve public trust.

Planning for the entire lifecycle

Every asset from renewal to replacement.
See the full lifecycle of every asset, and understand where investment will have the greatest impact. Direxyon helps you balance urgent repairs with long-term sustainability to get the most out of every dollar spent.

Align departments and priorities

Replace silos with a shared view of priorities and trade-offs.
Direxyon unifies planning across municipal departments by integrating asset, financial, and risk data into a single decision framework. It enables shared visibility into costs, service levels, and long-term risks, helping teams justify investments and build consensus around sustainable infrastructure strategies.

From reactive to proactive

Act before the tipping point.
Direxyon helps municipalities simulate asset degradation and forecast risk to plan interventions at the optimal moment – before maintenance becomes costly and reactive. Anticipate when and where to act to preserve service reliability and extend asset life at the lowest total cost.

Build resilience under pressure

Be ready for any scenario.
Test “what-if” scenarios to understand how funding cuts, population growth, or increased service demands affect your infrastructure over time, and plan accordingly.

Optimize capital and operational budgets

Get the most out of every dollar invested.
Stretch every tax dollar by prioritizing high-value projects, optimizing work bundling, and comparing investment scenarios to find the most cost-effective path forward.

Impact

The cost of deferrals

Roads deteriorating faster. Water mains bursting. Facilities aging beyond repair. When municipalities defer infrastructure investments, the long-term cost grows in emergency repairs, service disruptions, and eroded public trust.

Funding not keeping pace

While public infrastructure owners have invested almost $30 billion annually to renew existing assets over the last five years, that’s only 11% of the estimated $294 billion required across Canada.

Inflating costs

Floods, wildfires, and rapid urbanization are testing systems never designed for these extremes. The result: more failures, higher repair costs, and increased risk to communities.

A housing crisis impasse

According to FCM, every new home requires roughly CAD $107,000 in municipal infrastructure investment. To support the 5.8 million new homes needed by 2030, the required investment in municipal infrastructure could reach $600 billion.

Compounding over time

If municipal assets fall out of a ‘good repair’ state, the total backlog — estimated at $45–59 billion — only grows. Ongoing deterioration and inflation drive the cost higher each year interventions are deferred.

What our customers have to say

The asset-focused approach anticipates future needs to achieve and maintain desired performance.

Marie-Josée Roby – Hydro Québec Trans Énergie

The results of our analyses show that a targeted proactive approach to interventions is very profitable, leading to savings of up to 50% while maintaining an equivalent or better level of service.

Normand Hachey – Ville de Montréal, Service d’eau

We thought our problem was insufficient data. Direxyon helped us see that the real challenge was understanding what to ask. Their process brought clarity and structure to our asset-management decisions.

Anonymous – Municipal sector

We had data. We had reports. What we didn’t have was a clear line from information to action. Direxyon helped us identify where to invest and how to improve the system in a meaningful, defensible way.

Anonymous – Electrical sector

Working with Direxyon was an eye-opener for our asset-management team. The process forced us to rethink how we approached data, risk, and long-term planning. It challenged our assumptions and ultimately made our practices clearer, stronger, and far more defensible.
