| The automated design solution for water distribution systems In a radical technology breakthrough for water utilities worldwide, MWH Soft, a leading global provider of environmental and water resources applications software, announced the release of its acclaimed Designer™ extension, the premier automated design solution for water distribution systems, for the H2OMAP Water GIS platform. The new extension further secures the standing of MWH Soft's H2OMAP Utility Suite as the indispensable geospatial engineering complement to infrastructure management software technologies. By leveraging the advanced, customer-driven functionality of this major software release, water utilities worldwide can dramatically raise productivity and efficiency by rapidly developing optimal capital improvement strategies that minimize costs while enhancing system reliability and performance. These important capabilities break new ground in engineering efficiency by making engineering professionals more productive and their organizations more competitive. Users can then pass these benefits on to their customers through better designs and higher quality standards, achieved in a shorter turnaround time. H2OMAP Designer's sophisticated pipe network optimization capability represents a major step forward for water distribution system modeling. An invaluable and complete master planning and decision support tool, it combines the latest advances in computational Genetic Algorithm optimization technology with superior elitist and global control strategies. This gives Designer unprecedented power to quickly identify the best combination of system improvements - rehabilitation (cleaning and lining), replacement, strengthening, and expansion options - to meet desired hydraulic and water quality performance criteria at minimal cost. Other key features in H2OMAP Designer enable water industry professionals to develop more accurate and compelling design and rehabilitation solutions by considering any modeling condition time frame (e.g. maximum day), multiple design scenarios (e.g. maximum day plus fire), and complete extended period simulation designs (e.g. 24-hour operational design). The result is the fastest, most practical, comprehensive and accurate GIS-based water distribution optimization solution ever created for water engineers. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
