Innovyze, a leading global innovator of wet infrastructure modeling and simulation software and technologies, today announced that New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) has broadened its application of Innovyze technology with expanded usage of InfoWorks CS. The expansion will give NYCDEP greater access to the most widely used, fastest, and most accurate collection system modeling and management application in the industry. The news also underscores Innovyze’s position as a leading supplier of technology to the world’s largest water utilities.

NYCDEP’s extensive wastewater treatment system comprises over 7,400 miles (12,000 km) of sewer pipes, 135,000 sewer catch basins, over 495 permitted outfalls for the discharge of combined sewer overflows (CSOs), and 95 pumping stations that transport wastewater to 14 treatment plants throughout the New York City’s five boroughs. The system processes 1.3 billion gallons (4.9 billion liters) of wastewater per day.

InfoWorks CS allows engineers and planners to produce fast, accurate and robust fully dynamic hydraulic modeling of any complex urban collection system network. This encompasses full modeling of backwater effects and reverse flow, open channels, trunk sewers, complex pipe connections and ancillary structures.

An essential tool for identifying and justifying cost effective infrastructure improvements, InfoWorks CS also provides a practical method for operational control, including real time control, of the wastewater network. Other applications include urban flooding and pollution prediction and the modeling of water quality and sediment transport throughout the network. Offering exceptionally fast and stable simulations, InfoWorks CS facilitates the swift modeling of total networks or any sub-network. Users may simulate models of up to 100,000 nodes with confidence that the results will be as accurate as those for far smaller models—making it a leading choice for the world’s largest wastewater utilities.
