Sacramento Area Sewer District Selects Software for Water Network Modeling

Innovyze announced that the Sacramento Area Sewer District (SASD) in California has selected InfoWorks ICM to help meet its sewerage modeling requirements. SASD provides local sewage collection service to more than 1 million people in the Sacramento region, and manages 4,300 miles of sewer pipe and 104 pump stations.

“[SASD] is committed to continuous improvement of our system and rigorously monitors our system performance,” said Ligaya Kohagura, senior civil engineer at SASD. “We have started using InfoWorks ICM within our Capacity Management and System Analysis Group because it provides the best mix of advanced hydraulics combined with cutting edge technology.”

A feature of InfoWorks ICM includes its integration of 1D hydrodynamic simulation of flows in rivers, open channels and pipe networks and 2D hydrodynamic simulation of surface flooding in the urban environment and river floodplain. The software provides a powerful solution for simultaneously modeling belowground and aboveground elements of catchments to accurately represent all flow paths and improve understanding of the processes occurring in the holistic environment.

“We are proud to add [SASD] as the latest leading sewer utility to select InfoWorks ICM,” said J. Erick Heath, Americas operations director for Innovyze. “This vanguard product has proven to be the top choice for wastewater engineers charged with designing, operating and sustaining safe and reliable drainage systems and protecting public health and our waterways.”
