Technology Integration
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Infrastructure projects around the world are taking advantage of advanced technologies such as Building Information Modeling or BIM. There is acceleration in the implementation of BIM for water projects. Using BIM improves water projects with a higher level of client satisfaction.
A BIM model improves the design and development of a project. In the water sector, Dodge Data research reveals that multi-party collaboration results in reduced errors and conflicts and better communication through 3D visualization because of BIM.
When users realize how BIM supports the entire facility lifecycle, they are more likely to mandate its use and gain an advantage over the competition. Using BIM will enable engineers and contractors to improve project delivery and owners to manage assets and operations more effectively.
Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition Systems (SCADA)
Wastewater treatment plants also benefit from supervisory control and data acquisition systems. It is standard practice to use SCADA systems, and updating to cloud based SCADA systems can improve reliability and efficiency.
In water management plants, chemical and toxin levels can be monitored with a cloud based supervisory control and data acquisition system. In addition to providing precise records, the SCADA system also facilitates easy access to those records from anywhere. From any satellite or WIFI-enabled device, managers or operators can access data anytime.
Data collected from polluted areas in real-time can be compared, studied, and shared with investigators quickly and efficiently using a cloud based SCADA system. A thorough analysis of the data points will lead to the best information, and that will in turn lead to more rapid action by investigators.
