MWH Soft Adds Singapore to Industry-Leading Workshop Series on

MWH Soft, a leading global provider of environmental and water resources applications software, today announced that Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D, President and Chief Operating Officer of MWH Soft, will address water and wastewater industry executives, government representatives, and leading researchers, scientists and engineering and GIS professionals at the highly acclaimed Water and Sewer Systems Modeling, Management and Optimization Seminar in Singapore. The seminar, to be held August 6 at the WaterHub, 80 Toh Guan Road East in Singapore, is supported by the Singapore Water Association (SWA) and PUB, Singapore’s national water agency.

With over 100 engineering and GIS professionals from Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore already registered, this comprehensive seminar promises to be one of Singapore’s foremost network modeling events, providing an interactive forum for exploring how water, wastewater and stormwater professionals can use engineering GIS technology and advanced network modeling and information management applications to do their jobs better, easier, faster and more efficiently. The ultimate goals are to design, operate and manage better systems, protect the environment, and safeguard public health. The seminar will also showcase the newest geospatial applications for hydraulic and water quality modeling and asset management.

While the industry-leading network modeling technology seminar is designed for current and potential users of MWH Soft software, it has also become a key event for GIS analysts and technology evangelists. “This event is a wonderful forum for presenting the state of the art in water and wastewater infrastructure geoengineering,” said Boulos. “These are the tools engineering professionals need to master the art of cost-efficient water and sewer system rehabilitation, enhancement, expansion, strengthening, design, operation and maintenance — thereby improving their bottom line and forging closer ties with their customers. These products offer the best in water distribution and urban drainage modeling and design integrated with the best in engineering. Attendees can carry this valuable learning back to their organizations, opening new avenues for increasing productivity and performance, enhancing project quality, maximizing return on their investments in software, and helping them become more globally competitive.”

Demonstrations of the latest releases of MWH Soft’s industry-leading InfoSWMM Suite and InfoWater Suite software will be among the highlights of this event. Built atop ArcGIS (ESRI, Redlands, California) with native geodatabase support, InfoSWMM and InfoWater offer a single comprehensive, geocentric solution for analyzing, designing and managing the most complex water distribution and sewer collections systems.

In both products, a seamlessly integrated geospatial framework applies GIS intelligence to engineering-accurate information, coupled with the most advanced dynamic numerical computation, genetic algorithm optimization and object-component geospatial technologies in the marketplace. The resulting centralized, multi-function systems deliver world-record performance, scalability, reliability, functionality and flexibility within the powerful ArcGIS environment, completely eliminating the need for inefficient, unreliable data synchronization, synching schemes, or middlelink interfaces required by other software. These factors and more translate to increased productivity, reduced costs, greater efficiency, and improved designs — giving water and wastewater utilities a clear competitive advantage.

Across the continent, the accelerated adoption rate of MWH Soft geospatial technology has continued to reflect a powerful trend among water/wastewater utilities and progressive engineering firms toward the company’s products. This shift is being driven by a range of compelling factors, including the products’ broad functionality, unparalleled GIS integration, full compatibility with industry standard USEPA EPANET and SWMM5 (FEMA certified) software, interoperability, computational speed, reliability and brief learning curve. Other attractions include the software’s intuitive and engineer-friendly user interface, advanced optimization capabilities, comprehensive solution set, and superior technical support.
