Manila Water Chooses Bentley WaterGEMS V8 XM Edition
WASHINGTON,
Pennsylvania, August 14, 2007 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated today
announced that Manila Water, one of the largest water and wastewater service
providers in the Philippines, has selected WaterGEMS V8 XM Edition,
Bentley’s water distribution modeling solution, to manage the water network
serving more than five million people in the East Zone. This area includes
eastern Metro Manila and portions of Rizal province.
Commenting on the company’s decision to adopt WaterGEMS V8 XM, Abelardo
P. Basilio, Manila Water’s network planning manager, said, “We were
impressed by WaterGEMS’ ease of use, data management tools, and integration
with various platforms. These features will help us minimize duplication of
work while allowing the Technical Support Services department, including the
GIS group, and the Water Supply department to leverage data from Manila
Water’s various existing data sources.” WaterGEMS V8 XM will enable Manila
Water’s staff to exchange data among MapInfo, ArcGIS, AutoCAD, and existing
water models.
WaterGEMS V8 XM’s four interchangeable platforms (stand-alone, AutoCAD,
ArcGIS, and MicroStation) and automatic model building tools make it easy
for users to create a new model or update an existing one. Said Basilio,
“With our plan to expand the service area into the northern, southern, and
eastern sides of the concession area, our engineers will need to add many
new sectors to the water model. WaterGEMS’ modules, such as TRex for
automated elevation node assignment and LoadBuilder for automated geospatial
demand allocation, will be a big help in this effort, which will require
regular updates to our water model.” The TRex, LoadBuilder, and Thiessen
Polygon Creator tools are all included in WaterGEMS V8 XM and can be used
from any of its four platforms.
Engineers at Manila Water will also use WaterGEMS V8 XM to create a
master plan through the year 2020 for the distribution network. In addition,
they plan to eventually link the model to the utility’s live SCADA system
for operational purposes.
