Optimatics
Meet regulatory and environmental standards

"It was amazing the number of options and alternatives we were able to consider using Optimizer WDS. There is no way known the project could have progressed this far in such a short amount of time without Optimatics’ involvement."

Roger Perry - Head of Planning & Infrastructure, SA Water Corporation, South Australia

Case Studies - Water

Optimatics has completed projects with water and wastewater utilities in Australia, the United States, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada and Singapore. These projects have typically resulted in a 10-30% decrease in capital and operating costs and enabled the utilities to:

  • Meet projected water distribution and wastewater collection demands
  • Reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions
  • Meet regulatory and environmental standards
  • Incorporate complex design criteria
  • Achieve greater transparency for investment and planning decisions
  • Reduce risk while achieving a significant return on investment (ROI)


Following is a selection of projects in Water Distribution.

 

SA Water Network Water Security Program
SA Water has a vision of providing “water for growth, development and quality of life for all South Australians”. The Network Water Security Program (NWSP) was instigated by SA Water to help achieve this vision. A component of the NWSP is the North-South Interconnection System Project (‘the Project’) which will enable water from the Adelaide Desalination Plant (ADP) at Port Stanvac to be utilised by customers throughout the Adelaide Metropolitan Water Network.
