INNOVATION IN WATER, WASTEWATER, AND STORMWATER NETWORKS
Novogor Prikamie operates the municipal water and wastewater system in
Perm, Russia, which boasts a population of 1 million people. The city discharges
about 100,000 cubic meters of untreated effluent a day into the Kama River
due to the lack of capacity of the main sewerage collectors and treatment
facilities. This project created a scalable hydraulic model to identify solutions
for rehabilitation and construction as well as to prioritize routine work orders.
The project team used SewerGEMS to import data from other systems and
develop the model. Despite being new to the English-language software, team
members completed the project within four months with no outside contractors
at considerable savings to the company. A new main unloading manifold is now
being designed to increase network throughput and prevent stormwater from
flushing into the river.

Paulus, Sokolowski & Sartor provided comprehensive civil/site services for
BM W’s $80 million North American headquarters south campus expansion
project located in Woodcliff Lake, N.J. Services included integrated site
analysis and design, master planning, and construction phase services for the
entire 80-acre site as well as surveying and preparation of subdivision plans
and documents.
A 100-foot vertical drop and freshwater wetlands created challenges for
the stormwater management plan required to meet NJDEP Stormwater II
regulations. The final plan incorporated a two-acre wet pond, 1.8-million gallon
subsurface detention tank, surface detention basin, and groundwater recharge
and water-quality measures. StormCAD modeled the stormwater management
systems and WaterCAD modeled the water supply and distribution systems.
