2016 – Basin 33 Drainage Study

The city wanted to improve the quality and completeness of this historic SSWMM model.

MRPE iteratively incorporated various modifications and additions to the model as requested, analyzed the results and prepared a report.

This was the first time MRPE started experimenting with new methods to create large models of existing city drainage infrastructure. The model accuracy and completeness were greatly improved from around +/-2' to +0.5' and from about 25% to 90% complete, but the real value was planting the seeds for ideas that would revolutionize the quality, completeness and efficiency of future MRPE models (see Basin 129 & 147 masterplans).
