Combining ADSK & Innovyze tech into AWI we have a unique offering across the water project lifecycle…
… where AWI offers a suite of solutions that cover the complete water cycle…
Water Source The lakes, rivers and underground aquifers that are the source of our water supply, fed by rain and melting snow
Water treatment The processes to filter and purify water so that it is safe for human use
Water distribution & supply system
Drinking water distribution pipes from the source to the taps with all the necessary accessories including pumps, valves, etc. Water hammer studiesWastewater collection system
The pipes and pumps that take away used water from our toilets, drains, bathtubs, and laundry. These are also called sewers
Wastewater treatment
The processes to remove contaminants from our used water so that it can be safely returned to the environment. This is also called sewage treatment
Stormwater systems
The pipes, ditches and natural systems that channel our rainwater and snow melt away from our homes and businesses and back to the natural environment

Impact of our Technology
Unlocking Millions $ in Value: How Arcadis Uses Cloud and GMR to Transform Water Distribution Modelling
CHALLENGES • Used InfoWorks WS Pro with Generalized Multi-Runs (GMR)
and cloud computing.
• Completed simulations in 6–8 hours (vs. 200+ days locally).
• Generated 20+ data columns per pipe for better risk ratings.
• Improved asset planning accuracy, reducing unnecessary
replacements.
• ROI: >95% cost reduction in simulation labor.
• Avoided unnecessary pipe replacements worth several
million dollars.
• Deliver granular, system-wide criticality
analysis.
• Identify and prioritize investments that
minimize risk, water loss, and customer
disruption.
SOLUTION / RESULTS
BACKGROUND PROJECT OBJECTIVE
Traditional modeling only analyzed isolated segments.
Utility needed to understand impacts of main breaks
(customers affected, demand shortfall, critical users).
Running simulations locally would take 200+ days.
One of Northern California’s largest water utilities
with 47,000 pipes, multiple sources, and complex
pressure zones.
Needed highly accurate modeling to support multi-
million-dollar asset management and pipe
replacement plans.
