SSES Re-Evaluation
  The challenge

Town of West Seneca  sewer lining program that is required by a New York State Department of
  Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Order on Consent (Order). The
Location  Town have been seeing diminishing returns on investment from the lining
  work and want to modify their program to more effectively mitigate sewer

  Our response
Feb-2024-April 2025
  GHD teamed with Optimatics, who created their Optimizer™ platform to
  identify potential solutions to multi-variable problems. This evaluation
Value  required preparing inputs like unit prices for various upgrades, feasible
Approximate Construction Value:  reductions to infiltration and inflow (I/I) from system interventions, and
$8.2 Million  identification of unwanted system behavior that needed to be mitigated.
  These inputs, along with GHD’s sewer model, was input into the software
  program, which ran more than 150,000 plan simulations that converged on
  a Pareto Front of local optimal solutions that were divided into buckets of
  similar solutions (Alternatives) and evaluated for feasibility, system benefit,
  and overall costs.
