NewFields engineers and modelers offer clients world class innovation, technology, and service. NewFields provides unparalleled hydraulic and water quality modeling services and develops collaborative decision support systems with the goal to enhance the utility’s internal business process. Utilizing a revolutionary “real time” technology called SCADA Overlay Network Modeling™ users can now more easily and effectively conduct:

• Advanced real-time model calibration and analysis
• Water and wastewater system network optimization
• Surge analysis and conveyance system design
• Development of emergency response, maintenance notification, and energy management advisory systems

Technical Approach

SCADA Overlay Network Modeling™ is a flexible and scalable technology that can be customized to your project needs:

• Real-time field data acquisition and hydraulic testing using low cost, portable, plug-and-play cellular telemetry
• Real-time data visualization using web-based GIS mapping
• Real-time hydraulic network modeling using an independent cellular telemetry system (overlay network)

Limitless Possibilities

• Telemetry network can be used in utility systems with no SCADA, partial SCADA, or complete SCADA systems (create independent or hybrid systems using OPC)
• From anywhere in the world, remotely monitor your water, wastewater, or CSO system and conduct real-time modeling from remote locations
• Collaborate with industry leaders and project stakeholders in a collaborative web-based environment

Key Benefits

• Simple and secure access to facility data (flow, pressure, pump status, etc.) for the utility’s operations, maintenance, and engineering departments as well as outside consultants
• Very low initial and long-term telemetry operating costs
• Improved model calibration using more routine integration of operational data and lower long-term calibration costs
• Better operational and water quality evaluations using real-time data from facilities and remote node locations
• Develop real-time decision support systems for responding to emergencies (i.e. pipe breaks, facility power loss) or maintenance activities (i.e. imminent dry weather overflows)
• Optimize pumping system energy costs by implementing a real-time web-based advisory energy management system (EMS) with fast return on investment (ROI).
