to Help Users Work Smarter and Faster

Leading GIS-Centric Urban Draining Analysis and Design Software Sets New Standard For Power, Speed,
Functionality and Performance with New Simulation Task Manager for an Improved Modeling Experience


Broomfield, Colorado USA, May 5, 2010 — In its ongoing quest to equip the global wastewater industry with the world’s most comprehensive and innovative GIS-centric modeling and design solutions, MWH Soft, a leading global innovator of wet infrastructure modeling and simulation software and technologies, today announced the worldwide availability of the V9 Generation of its industry-leading InfoSWMM for ArcGIS (ESRI, Redlands, CA).

The latest release marks the most significant milestone to date in the evolution of the company’s flagship urban drainage modeling and design product, firmly establishing it as the number one geocentric choice for the effective evaluation, design, management, rehabilitation and operation of wastewater and stormwater collection systems. The software provides unmatched benefits with an unprecedented combination of power, functionality, seamless ArcGIS integration and ease of use.

Underlining MWH Soft’s leadership in the wastewater industry, InfoSWMM reflects the company’s constant commitment to delivering pioneering technology that helps to shape the future of this critical sector by raising the bar for urban drainage network modeling. The world’s first and only urban drainage modeling solution certified by the National Association of GIS-Centric Software, the full-featured analysis and design program delivers the highest rate of return in the industry. All operations of a typical sewer system — from analysis and design to management functions such as water quality assessment, pollution prediction, sediment transport and deposition, urban flooding, real-time control and record keeping — are addressed in a single, fully integrated geoengineering environment whose powerful hydraulic computational engine is endorsed by the USEPA and certified by FEMA.

Focused on expanded geospatial functions and performance, V9 features a host of new capabilities to help wastewater engineers and planners develop better designs and operational improvements faster and more efficiently. They include an intuitive, time-saving user interface; impressive graphics; greatly accelerated creation of better, more accurate models; and more advanced design analysis capabilities than any other wastewater modeling software.

V9 gives users unprecedented power in managing urban runoff and wet weather water quality problems in combined, sanitary and storm sewers; optimizing BMP and LID designs; and meeting SSO and CSO regulations. Multiple hydrology and infiltration methods, coupled with highly sophisticated Real-Time Control (RTC) schemes, optimize the operational management of wastewater systems and hydraulic structures. Unparalleled performance modeling sets new benchmarks in scalability, reliability, functionality and flexibility within the powerful ArcGIS environment.

InfoSWMM V9 addresses scores of customer-requested enhancements and features, along with significant innovations that break new ground in productivity and efficiency for engineering GIS modeling. It adds first-ever capabilities like the revolutionary Simulation Task Manager, which allows users to launch multiple simulations as they continue their engineering work on any selected project as all simulation requests (jobs) are automatically managed in a separate, multi-threaded background service. Existing output data remains accessible until a new project output becomes available. Users can even close their working projects, and scheduled simulations will continue to be executed. A comprehensive user-friendly interface allows users to browse the entire job queue; visualize the active simulation progress and messages; and have full control over the submitted simulation jobs, including elevating their execution orders, times, priorities, or canceling unwanted jobs. This powerful and unique feature takes advantage of today’s multi-core processor and multi-thread OS to perform resource-intensive hydraulic simulations in the background, enabling foreground applications to remain interactive.

InfoSWMM is quickly becoming the must-have solution for comprehensive enterprise-wide geospatial urban drainage and sewer systems engineering. With its intuitive GIS-centric working environment and new cutting-edge features, Generation V9 delivers unmatched capabilities to the industry, backed by unparalleled technical support. “InfoSWMM V9 contains an array of new features and enhanced capabilities for both new and existing customers,” said Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D, Hon.D.WRE, F.ASCE, President and Chief Operating Officer of MWH Soft. “It reflects our company’s continued commitment to consistently delivering best-in-class sewer modeling and design technology.

“We’ve combined the best technological innovations of MWH Soft’s R&D with the requests of our customers to produce one of the most significant product releases in our history in terms of usability, power and performance,” Boulos continued. “This marks the pinnacle in a series of product innovations that have set InfoSWMM far apart from its competitors. This level of innovation is typical of our entire product portfolio, which is unequaled in breadth, depth and best-in-class solutions. The advances we make empower our customers to find the best possible solutions in the least amount of time using the fewest resources. Because they can be accessed by any user, regardless of technical expertise, these benefits can be extended across the entire enterprise. We are thrilled to make this one-of-a-kind product available to the extended wastewater and urban drainage modeling communities.”
