MWH Soft Releases InfoSewer Version 6.0 for ArcGIS 10

New Version of the Leading Wastewater Modeling and Management Package Leverages Newest Esri Software

Broomfield, Colorado USA, August 31, 2010 — MWH Soft, a leading global innovator of wet infrastructure modeling and simulation software and technologies, today announced the immediate availability of InfoSewerGeneration V6 for ArcGIS 10 (Esri, Redlands, CA). The release is the first sewer network analysis, design and management software for ArcGIS 10, continuing MWH Soft’s longstanding tradition of continual product innovation and helping utilities leverage their geospatial platform.

“We continue to evolve InfoSewer to stay current with the leading technologies,” said Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D., Hon.D.WRE, F.ASCE, President and Chief Operating Officer of MWH Soft. “This has been the software package of choice for many progressive wastewater utilities, and we are thrilled to extend its benefits to ArcGIS 10 user community.”

Certified by the National Association of GIS-centric Software, InfoSewer is a powerful ArcGIS-based computer program for planning, designing, analyzing, and expanding sanitary, storm and combined sewer collection systems. It can be effectively used to model both dry-weather and wet-weather flows and determine the most cost-effective and reliable method of wastewater collection. Built atop ArcGIS, InfoSewer enables engineers and GIS professionals to work simultaneously on the same integrated platform, commanding powerful GIS analysis and hydraulic modeling in a single environment using a single dataset. It allows users to create, edit, modify, run, map, analyze, design and optimize sewer network models and instantly review, query and display simulation results from within ArcGIS.

InfoSewer is used worldwide by municipal engineers and planners to create detailed, accurate models of their sewer infrastructure systems. These models enable users to evaluate the effect of new developments, zoning changes, and other additional loads on system flows; pinpoint current and future problem areas; predict overflows and backups; and determine how to best restore needed capacity lost to infiltration and inflow with the least rehabilitation. In addition, users rely on these models to compute hydrogen sulfide generation and corrosion potential; analyze the rate of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) exertion; track sediment movement and deposition; calculate the amount of pollutant transported to the wastewater treatment plant; and assess pollutants’ impacts on receiving waters. Extensive scenario management functionality makes the program capable of analyzing existing or proposed sewage collection systems. The application also provides vital tools for meeting and exceeding environmental regulations and improving community relations.
