New York City Expands Hydraulic Modeling With InfoWorks CS

Innovyze, a global provider of wet infrastructure modeling and simulation software and technologies, announced that the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) has broadened its application of Innovyze technology with expanded usage of InfoWorks CS. The expansion will give NYCDEP greater access to a widely used, fast and accurate collection system modeling and management application.

NYCDEP’s extensive wastewater treatment system comprises over 7,400 miles of sewer pipes; 135,000 sewer catch basins; more than 495 permitted outfalls for the discharge of combined sewer overflows; and 95 pumping stations that transport wastewater to 14 treatment plants throughout New York City’s five boroughs. The system processes 1.3 billion gal of wastewater per day.

InfoWorks CS allows engineers and planners to produce fast, accurate and robust fully dynamic hydraulic modeling of any complex urban collection system network. This encompasses full modeling of backwater effects and reverse flow, open channels, trunk sewers, complex pipe connections and ancillary structures.

“The Innovyze family of sewer network modeling products continues to be the standard for the country’s largest and most prominent wastewater utilities,” said J. Erick Heath, P.E., Innovyze vice president, director of Americas operations. “NYCDEP manages and operates a very large and complex sewer system, and we are proud that our powerful tools continue to be the best choice to help meet those challenges.”
