Drainage and FloodingHydraulic modelling is at the core of drainage and flooding assessments and Innovyze’s InfoWorks Suite represents the leading standalone solution for this work. InfoWorks CS (Collection Systems) has a long heritage of outstanding modelling in the urban environment, whilst InfoWorks RS (River Systems) has established itself as one of the foremost river catchment modelling solutions in the world.

InfoWorks ICM (Integrated Catchment Modelling) brings together the best of both of these offerings, providing truly integrated all-source catchment modelling in one solution, whilst adding the very latest technological advances to redefine the process of hydraulic model build and simulation.

5

All of these solutions benefit further from the addition of the enhanced InfoWorks 2D engine, ideal for modelling flows through complex geometries. Included as standard with InfoWorks ICM and available as an additional module for InfoWorks CS and InfoWorks RS, the 2D engine provides fast, accurate and detailed surface flood modelling.

Real time flood forecasting has become an increasingly standard requirement around the world, with improvements in computing power now able to support the running of sophisticated hydraulic models in a timely manner. Innovyze’s FloodWorks solution combines mature InfoWorks simulation capabilities with up-to-the-minute telemetry to provide essential warnings, both for system operators and to the public.

InfoWorks ICM (Integrated Catchment Modelling) is the first truly integrated modelling platform to incorporate both urban and river catchments. With full integration of 1D and 2D modelling techniques both the above- and below-ground elements of catchments can be modelled as never before. InfoWorks ICM enables the hydraulics and hydrology of natural and manmade environments to be incorporated into a single model.

UnpReceDenteD MoDel cReAtIon

InfoWorks ICM allows engineers the ability to create a single model that contains the salient features exist-ing in an environment with a single, unified hydrology. Manholes, pipes and inlets can be combined with natural and man-made channels to create a model in which the catchment and the flood plain are one, as they are in real life. The additional ability to model objects such as bridges, sluices, weirs and pumps, allows the creation of models that are more complete and more accurate than ever before.

• Full two-dimensional (2D) surface flood modelling can be employed across both the wastewater and river components of the model, providing more precise modelling of flows through complex geometries.

• Real Time Control allows control structures to be pro-grammed to respond automatically to conditions in the system during a simulation, allowing the optimisation of storage and operation.

• Water quality and sedimentation studies can be car-ried out across both 1D and 2 D areas, allowing users to assess the fate of pollutants entering the catchment from both wash off and point sources.

• The linking of 1D river channels and 2D floodplain is carried out by means of lateral banks. The flow can pass between these two components at any location along the river, allowing real life conditions to be more accurately modelled.

gReAteR eFFIcIencIeS WItH ReMote SIMUlAtIon

InfoWorks ICM Remote Simulation allows the simulation of models to be performed by remote agent machines, which means engineers can start a simulation and then return to the task of modelling without the performance of their computer being affected. Remote agents can either be similar computers within a small workgroup en-vironment or alternatively high performance servers with the capability to run simulations many times faster. This is increasingly valuable as engineers require the ability to simulate a large number of scenarios, within complex environments, with the benefit of the latest 2D simulation techniques applied.

InDUStRy leADIng tecHnology SUppoRt

InfoWorks ICM has been developed around the very lat-est technology developments, with ArcGIS compatibility and integration at the very core of the solution. Hardware developments such as multi-core processors and spe-cialist graphics processing units (GPU) can be employed to allow simulations to be run as quickly as possible. InfoWorks ICM is also fully compatible with Microsoft’s Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 operating sys-tems, in both 32bit and 64bit editions, allowing users to carry out leading-edge hydraulic modelling within a fast and reliable environment.
