Wcs Engineering

Maximizing the value of Optimatics software requires the experience of specialist users and proven quality assurance procedures. WCS Engineering was founded in 2011 specifically to help municipalities reduce capital expenditure and maximize return on investment through the advanced application of Optimatics software for water, wastewater, and stormwater systems. Municipalities often have a range of challenges to solve with limited budgets. WCS provides engineering expertise and specialized use of Optimatics’ software to deliver robust, cost-effective, and prioritized solutions. Water and wastewater system capital improvement plans (CIPs) typically have a large range of capital and operational improvement alternatives available for analysis. Traditional “trial-and-error” scenario modeling can handle only a relatively small number of scenarios and does not provide a comprehensive and defensible approach to evaluate the vast number of available alternatives. Intelligent algorithm optimization using OptimizerTM (software product of Optimatics) provides a framework for undertaking a comprehensive analysis of master plan alternatives that considers system-wide interactions and life-cycle costs. WCS, founded by Joel Wilson who was employed by Optimatics from 2006 to 2011 to lead the development and application of their software, is well regarded internationally as industry-leading specialists in the optimization field. WCS has developed a suite of exclusive tools and techniques specifically to support the application of Optimatics’ software. By thoroughly understanding the optimization process, WCS helps to clearly identify suitable applications and the most efficient approach for each project. From helping to define the big-picture project objectives to interpreting and clearly communicating optimization results, WCS combines its unique engineering skill sets and exclusive tools to maximize value, accuracy, and efficiency for each customer.
