W12 Smart Infrastructure for Sewer Solutions

Sunday, October 6
8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Smart infrastructure can be used to inform operational decisions that ultimately improve the efficiency, reliability, and lifespan of physical assets. By implementing these solutions, it is estimated that utilities could save up to $320B in capital expenditures and operating expenses. This workshop will strive to provide attendees with insights needed to reimagine how new and existing data, assets, and technology can be leveraged to improve the efficiency of their systems while preventing overflows.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Describe the physical and digital elements needed to deploy and implement a smart sewer system in a collection system.
• Compose a basic flow monitoring plan including identifying appropriate types of sensor technologies for accurate reporting of hydraulic conditions.
• Recognize various types of neural networks and their potential applications to smart sewer systems.
