InfoWater To Support Comprehensive Geospatial Water Infrastructure Management for Oregon's Largest Waterworks
Innovyze, a leading global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for smart wet infrastructure, today announced that the Portland Water Bureau (PWB) in Oregon has chosen the company's industry-leading InfoWater to support its large-scale, enterprise-wide geospatial water distribution network modeling and management needs.
The purchase will enable PWB to address critical planning, design, operational, and water quality issues with maximum effectiveness; optimize capital improvement programs as well as storage and seismic upgrades; and improve customer service.Portland's water system delivers water from two high-quality sources, the Bull Run Watershed (surface water) and the Columbia South Shore Well Field (groundwater) to in-town storage facilities.
From there it provides water through a complex network of more than 2,000 miles of pipe to more than 566,000 customers throughout Portland and an additional 368,000 through regional wholesale providers. This totals about 935,000 Oregonians, almost one-quarter of the population of the state. PWB's service area spans approximately 225 square miles and covers Portland residents plus those of 19 suburban cities and water districts.Built atop ArcGIS (Esri, Redlands, CA), InfoWater seamlessly integrates sophisticated predictive analytics, systems dynamics and optimization functionality directly within the powerful ArcGIS setting.
From fire flow and water quality simulations, valve criticality and energy cost analysis to pressure zone management and advanced Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm optimization, the InfoWater product suite comes equipped with everything water utility owner-operators need to best plan, design, operate, secure and sustain their distribution systems.
