Presentation by Tim Bell 26th November 2015

Overview

• Wingecarribee Shire

• Water & Sewer Networks

• Water & Sewer Modelling Progress

• Conversion from CS to ICM

• Summary

Wingecarribee Shire

• 110 km from Sydney’s CBD • Population approx 47,000 • Average annual growth rate 0.3% • Rich biodiversity • Large areas of high conservation value • Important catchment area for water supply to

Sydney, Wollongong and North Shoalhaven • High tourism expenditure

To create and nurture a vibrant and diverse community growing and working in harmony with our urban, agricultural and natural environment.

Council’s Vision

Water Modelling Progress

• Full system model build • High level calibration

completed • Fire Flow determinations

• Models built for parts of network

• In-house building of small networks for practice

• Operational investigations

• System master plan • Network performance

now and into future • Capital works

improvement plan

• Continuous improvement and updates of model

• In-house network investigations

• Pressure Management planning & design project

• Detailed calibration • Continuous improvement • Development assessments • Water quality simulations

2015 & Beyond

Sewer Modelling Progress

• Bowral flow containment assessment complete

• Moss Vale Model Build • Bundanoon Model Build

• Infoworks CS purchased • Modelling specifications • Model built for Bowral

(main town, high I/I) • Flow monitoring works

completed in Bowral

• Moss Vale calibration completed

• Several major development impact assessments

• Flow monitoring & rain gauging in Moss Vale and Bundanoon

• Minor development impact assessments

• Bundanoon model calibration • Berrima & Mittagong model

builds • Flow containment

assessments remaining areas

• Import migration file into ICM

Migration Process

• Import complete

Menu Bar

• Most icons similar to CS

• Some minor changes

Menu Bar – Grid Windows

Holding control still allows you to open the grid

window with only the current selection from the

geoplan.

Summary

• Number of improvements in ICM from CS

• Menus, Explorer, Version control, GIS layers, Themes

• Faster and less processing time

• Scratched the surface of new functionality

• Future direction

• Move from Jet engine to dedicated SQL server database

• Remote & concurrent simulations

• Water quality & H2S simulations
