| MWH Soft ships eighth generation of H2OMAP Sewer MWH Soft announced the release of the V8 Generation version of H2OMAP Sewer, its professional geospatial modeling software for municipal sewer collection systems. This latest version introduces valuable user-driven enhancements and functionalities, along with architectural and database improvements that make sophisticated sewer systems analysis and design applications fast and easy to use. Chief among the new functionalities in V8 is Automated Intelligent Design Technology, which for the first time puts expert-level, high performance techniques in the hands of every user. These tools facilitate automation of the most challenging wastewater collection systems design, expansion and rehabilitation activities, making wastewater engineers more productive and their organizations more competitive. H2OMAP Sewer is used worldwide by municipal engineers and planners to create detailed, accurate models of sewer infrastructure systems. These models enable users to evaluate the effect of new developments, zoning changes, and other additional loads on system flows; pinpoint current and future problem areas; predict overflows and backups; and determine how best to restore needed capacity lost to infiltration and inflow with a minimum of rehabilitation. Users rely on these models to compute hydrogen sulfide generation and corrosion potential; analyze the rate of Biochemical Oxygen Demand exertion; track sediment movement and deposition; calculate the amount of pollutant transported to the wastewater treatment plant; and assess pollutants' impacts on receiving waters. The application also provides vital tools for meeting and exceeding environmental regulations and improving community relations. Users can now quickly design new sewer collection systems that consider standard design criteria such as flow depth-to-pipe diameter ratios, velocity, slope, soil cover depth, and pipe crown drop. Using user-input manhole locations, H2OMAP Sewer V8 calculates the optimal pipe size and slope, invert elevation of conduits and manholes, soil cover depths at both ends of each pipe section, and cost of excavation and reinstatement to meet target design criteria. Results can be reviewed using profile plots, color coded sewer maps, or comprehensive tabular reports. They can then be automatically updated in the model database, simplifying the model-building process. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
