MWH Soft Releases InfoWorks, InfoNet, FloodWorks v10.5
Includes new features for workgroup management modeling, asset
management and flood forecasting designers
 BROOMFIELD,
CO, Oct 29, 2009 - MWH Soft, the leading global provider of environmental
and water resources applications software, today announced the immediate
release of version 10.5 of InfoWorks, InfoNet, and FloodWorks. The new
releases reflect MWH Soft’s continued commitment to providing the world’s
water, wastewater, stormwater and flood management professionals with the
most comprehensive selection of class-leading engineering tools available.
“Our industry-leading workgroup and asset management technology continues
to improve with each new version, and this major release is no exception,
“said Andrew Brown, EMEA Regional Manager for MWH Soft. “We have
incorporated significant advancements as a result of feedback from customers
worldwide. MWH Soft’s core commitment is to provide the world’s engineering
community with flexible and comprehensive solutions that enable improved
work processes for tangible business benefit and competitive advantage.”
InfoWorks CS allows engineers and planners to produce fast, accurate and
robust hydraulic modeling of a complete urban collection system network.
This encompasses full modeling of backwater effects and reverse flow, open
channels, trunk sewers, complex pipe connections and ancillary structures.
Tools for urban flooding and receiving stream impact prediction, water
quality, sediment transport and real time control simulation are also
included.
A close relative of InfoWorks CS, InfoWorks SD allows users to model
stormwater flows through a complex environment with a diversity of
underground and overland structures and paths — applying the same
high-quality function and analysis to both open channels and closed
conduits. Updates in version 10.5 of InfoWorks CS and SD include new inlet
flood types, improved rainfall generators and new routing methods.
InfoWorks RS combines a highly advanced 1D & 2D simulation engine, data
management, geographical analysis and a relational database in a single
environment, The result is a single tool that can import, clean up and store
survey and time series data; build detailed and accurate models; analyze
model results; and present outputs in engineering report-quality formats.
InfoWorks RS includes full-solution modeling of open channels, culverts,
floodplains, embankments and hydraulic structures. It also simulates
rainfall runoff using both event-based and conceptual hydrological methods.
Version 10.5 adds the ability to trigger a 2D point source from a remote
location, as well as greatly enhanced simulation results in the 3D Terrain
View.
InfoWorks WS is a complete modeling and management package for water
distribution systems. Drawing on information from high quality all-pipe
InfoWorks WS models enable offline management decisions to be made with
confidence. By providing an accurate view of water distribution system
performance, including water quality, supply and demand, infrastructure
problems and investigation of remedial measures, InfoWorks WS helps
engineers deliver a sustainable supply of high quality water to users at an
acceptable pressure and flow rate with minimal leakage loss. New features in
v10.5 include: leakage location simulation, time varying results for pump
stations, finer granularity for demand and trace results at nodes, and
enhancement to fire flow simulations.
InfoNet is a purpose-built asset and data management system for water
distribution, wastewater collection and stormwater networks. Designed for
operations managers, engineers and planners, InfoNet enables users to
manage, integrate, validate and analyze network data and provide accurate,
auditable information on network infrastructure and performance in
easy-to-use formats. Version 10.5 adds new CCTV scoring, data collection,
and interoperablity methods; improved PACP and MACP support; and the ability
to assign incidents directly to a property location. In addition, all
InfoWorks and InfoNet products now include enhanced user management
features. The redesigned administration area now features streamlined view
and permissions setting for users and groups within the database.
FloodWorks is a modular software package focused on real-time simulation
and forecasting of future hydrological and hydraulic conditions in river
basins, stormwater and drainage systems and coastal areas. Designed for
operational use in the control room, FloodWorks links a variety of live data
sources with a wide range of models to provide detailed and accurate
forecasts of water levels, flood depths, flows, velocities, water quality
parameters and sea state. Using FloodWorks, managers and engineers can carry
out fast, accurate and detailed simulations of the future effects of an
extreme event, providing key data necessary to effectively deploy emergency
response services and minimize the risk of loss of life and damage to
infrastructure. New features in FloodWorks v10.5 include better management
of telemetry data and units, the ability to define long sections, full
support of the URBS runoff routing model, email and SMS alert notification
options, and the creation of generic user-defined models based on script
files.
“The continued enhancement of our entire best-in-class product portfolio
is a key priority for the MWH Soft team,” said Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D.,
Hon.D.WRE, F.ASCE, President and COO of MWH Soft. “The new releases will
give our customers an even more effective toolset and an improved work
experience that can bring them to new levels of success. They underline our
ongoing commitment to providing the world’s engineers powerful, easy-to-use
modeling and simulation software that helps them strengthen, protect,
sustain and optimize their water resources infrastructures with incredible
speed, efficiency, and accuracy, and at maximum cost savings.”
