When undertaking capital planning design factors such as cost, reliability, service levels, environmental impact and water quality need significant consideration.  Optimatics helps you quickly and accurately consider hundreds of thousands of different options to develop the best solution for your needs.

Capital projects planned using Optimatics are typically 10-30% more cost effective and have greater hydraulic capacity than a similar hydraulic design derived from traditional modelling methods.

The benefits don’t end there.  On completion of the capital master plan, you can continue to benefit from optimization for activities such as:

• Ongoing scenario analysis
• Operational optimization
• Water quality optimization
• Risk and redundancy studies

Benefits of Staging

After confirming a set of capital works, it is important to stage those works in the optimal order. Integrating staging requirements ensures that service levels for consumers will not drop below a certain point at any time during implementation of the optimal design.
