BRIEF

Project
United Water and IDModeling standardize water model building and analysis using WaterGEMS, SewerGEMS, and the WaterObjects.Net technology

Organizations

  • United Water
  • IDModeling

Be Awards category
Water and Wastewater

Project objectives
Standardizing and streamlining how models are built, developed, calibrated, documented, and updated using Bentley software.

Fast facts

  • United Water determined that it spent a disproportionate amount of time repeating model construction tasks necessary for all hydraulic models.
  • United Water worked with IDModeling to improve the quality of United Water’s hydraulic models.
  • Essential to the project was the interoperability of Bentley’s water products, which helped streamline modeling tasks.
  • Establishing modeling standards, particularly through WaterGEMS’ customization and documentation functions, provided a concrete way for United Water employees and contractors to better coordinate work.

Bentley products used

  • WaterGEMS
  • SewerGEMS
  • WaterObjects.NET customization technology

To focus on improving efficiency in its water networks, United Water worked with IDModeling, a company that delivers hydraulic modeling solutions for growing and maintaining rapidly aging and increasingly stressed water and wastewater infrastructure, to develop four models representing four separate water systems in the states of Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, and Rhode Island.

The two companies set out to standardize and streamline how these four models, and any future models, are built, developed, calibrated, documented, and updated using Bentley software. United Water combined its forward thinking with IDModeling’s workflows, templates, and techniques, and WaterGEMS and SewerGEMS technology to improve the quality of its hydraulic models.
