Stormwater Software - InfoWorks WS

Taken from http://www.wallingfordsoftware.com/products/infoworks_ws/



Overview

The key objective for all water supply and distribution organizations is the efficient and sustainable supply of high quality water. This should be provided at an acceptable pressure and with minimal leakage losses. This challenge is affected by weather conditions, stringent regulatory environments, security concerns and an increasingly aware consumer audience.

InfoWorks WS gives an accurate view of the performance of your network and assists with meeting your operational targets. An accurate all mains water supply model can identify infrastructure weaknesses, water quality incidents and other operational needs. The model can also be used to simulate emergency conditions and investigate solutions.

Example Applications

  • Assessment of supply to individual customer level
  • Investigation of supply deficiencies
  • Demand management
  • Design and implementation of drought management plans
  • Planning of capital investment programs
  • Critical link analysis
  • Scenario planning & fire flow analysis
  • Simulation of pollution incidents
  • Assessing source blending requirements
  • Water quality and chlorination assessment
  • Sedimentation analysis and mains flushing
  • Optimization of pumping systems
  • Optimization of system storage

Features and Benefits

The leading software solution integrating asset and business planning with water supply and distribution network modeling:-

1. Workgroup Model Management

  • Manages multiple modelers on multiple projects
  • Highly efficient workflow within the organization - saves time and money on each project
  • Supports both Local and Network Dongles for licence authentication
  • Flexible implementation approach, which can be tailored to current and future IT strategies
  • Controls access permissions to models by user login details
  • Model data and results are secure at all times


2. Data Integration

  • Seamless exchange of data and results to and from GIS and other third party applications
  • Import models and export results to any data source using InfoWorks Open Data Import/Export Centre
  • Import asset data directly from Microsoft databases (Excel / Access), Oracle databases, GIS, XML, and Geodatabases
  • Import models from Stoner, EPANET, AQUIS, and WATSYS/WaterMax
  • Interfaces with SCADA and data logging systems

3. Model Building Tools

  • Automatic inference of missing model data and assignment of pipe friction coefficeints from user defined and built in material libaries
  • Allows data flagging on all model data
  • Engineering validation checks ensure consistency with expected engineering values
  • Tracing tools to help identify, view and modify network connectivity and hydraulic boundries
  • Carry out network comparisons and apply differences to any network
  • Consolidates modeling data from multiple sources in one coherent interface
  • If no electronic data is available InfoWorks provides the tools for simple and flexible manual digitization
  • Automatic demand allocation from any geo referenced seed point data (customer point)
  • Demand Management
  • Realistic pump modeling
  • Flexible object controls

4. Powerful Hydraulic Simulation

  • Exceptionally fast, robust and efficient with large networks
  • Fully integrated additional simulation types
  • Water Quality and Sedimentation Modeling
