Miami Dade InfoWorks ICM Model and Master Plan

As part of the Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department (WASD) Integrated Master Plan, Hazen calibrated one of the largest and most hydraulically complex wastewater models developed in InfoWorks ICM. It represented 1,038 pump stations, 3,200 miles of gravity sewer, and 980 miles of force main conveying approximately 310 MGD to three regional wastewater treatment plants that serve more than 2.3 million residents. The effort included long-term simulation and calibration using the InfoWorks ICM Ground Infiltration Model (GIM) to represent groundwater influence, detailed pump station simulation and verification, Ruby-script-based QA/QC and RDII calculations, and the use of the InfoWorks ICM model to simulate wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) hydraulics as part of an integrated system evaluation.
