Vietnam's Saigon Water Corp to Use MWH Soft H2OMAP Water
 BROOMFIELD,
CO, Jan 7, 2010 - MWH Soft, a leading global innovator of wet infrastructure
modeling and simulation software and technologies, today announced that the
Saigon Water Corporation, Vietnam, has chosen MWH Soft’s industry-leading H2OMAP Water
Suite software for advanced water distribution modeling and design of the Ho
Chi Minh City water supply network. The selection further substantiates MWH
Soft’s leadership position in geospatial hydraulic infrastructure modeling
and management across the globe.
The Ho Chi Minh City metropolitan area, home to over 9 million people, is
expected to grow to over 20 million by 2020. Based on its size and growth
expectations, the City has enormous demands for clean drinking water and
efficient system operations. It currently produces 325 million m3 (260,000
acre-feet) of drinking water every year, with the Saigon River as the
primary water source. The city is also faced with a large non-revenue water
(NRW) problem, with over 140 million m3 (110,000 acre-feet) of water usage
unaccounted for.
“Embarking on an NRW study is a challenging project, but critical to the
long term health of our system,” said Mr. Luu Khanh Toan, Deputy Team Leader
of the project. “H2OMAP Water is the ideal tool for performing this
analysis. It makes it easy for our engineers to run and simulate a range of
possible conditions and determine the most likely sources of unaccounted
water. The program is also highly intuitive, with a
broad range of capabilities beyond NRW — making it a natural choice for
our system. Add the MWH Soft reputation for being first to add new features
and providing robust, responsive support, and H2OMAP Water is a perfect fit
for Saigon Water Corporation.”
Built using an advanced Object-Oriented Geospatial Component model,
H2OMAP Water is the most powerful and practical GIS platform for water
utility solutions. As a stand-alone GIS-based program, it combines spatial
analysis tools and mapping functions with sophisticated and accurate network
modeling for complete infrastructure (asset) management and business
planning. It performs fast, reliable and comprehensive hydraulic and dynamic
water quality modeling, energy management (with true variable speed
pumping), real-time simulation and control with online SCADA interface, and
complete fire flow analysis.
H2OMAP Water fully supports geocoding and multiple mapping layers which
can be imported from one of many data sources including Computer-Aided
Design (CAD) drawings (e.g., dwg, dgn, dxf); CAD world files; standard GIS
formats (Shapefiles, Generate files, MID/MIF files, and ArcInfo coverages);
Vector product format (vpf) files; Spatial Database Engine (ArcSDE) Layers;
attribute tables; grid data; image files; ODBC; and Comma
Separated/Delimited Text (CSV) files. The program also supports the
geodatabase standard of ArcGIS through an ArcSDE connection.
“Ho Chi Minh City is a another example of a leading water utility turning
to MWH Soft for tools to help them optimize short- and long-term capital
planning and infrastructure sustainability,” said MWH Soft Asia Pacific
Business Development Manager Justin Hanson. “We continue to invest in
best-of-breed geospatial modeling and design solutions that are easy to
implement and use, and give our customers a significant business edge. Our
products deliver consistent, high quality engineering GIS modeling data;
enhanced efficiency; and reliable, cost-effective project plans. These
advantages lead to measurable improvements in productivity, system
performance, return on investment, and customer satisfaction.”
