The SSIP will be designed to improve the sewer system and address challenges like aging infrastructure, odors and neighborhood impacts, flooding, and existing and future regulations.
Since 2006, the SFPUC has used the Innovyze InfoWorks CS software and it is currently the hydraulic engine used to model many major capital projects and program elements, the company said.
SSIP Capital Program director Karen Kubick said the latest InfoWorks ICM will assist the company in modeling the performance of the San Francisco’s combined sewers and urban streets.
"By analyzing these elements, we will be able to develop a comprehensive roadmap that addresses critical system needs, improves system performance, and brings value to our ratepayers," Kubick said.
The Innovyze InfoWorks CS software provides a powerful solution for simultaneously modeling below-ground and above-ground elements of catchments to accurately represent all flow paths and improve understanding of the processes occurring in the holistic environment.
Innovyze vice president and Americas Business director Erick Heath said the SFPUC understands that the first step toward developing a reliable, comprehensive sewer system improvement plan is equipping their engineers and consultants with the very best tools.
Innovyze is a provider of wet infrastructure business analytics software solutions designed to meet the technological needs of water/wastewater utilities, government industries, and engineering organizations globally.
