The Power of bloom
Transforming storm overflow solutions
Water and sewage companies are increasingly turning to hybrid solutions on a large scale to mitigate storm overflow spills. These solutions prioritise sustainable urban drainage systems such as green roofs, wetlands, and infiltration basins.
In response to this challenge, RPS has developed "bloom" to map these sustainable urban drainage systems and optimise their usage. Currently, it is being utilised within the United Utilities Better Rivers Framework to reduce CSO spills.
Time, precision, quality
Leveraging our expertise and knowledge, bloom streamlines the entire process with minimal setup and input requirements, offering several benefits:
Time Efficiency: Manual execution of a similar task would demand weeks of engineering time, constrained by the number of iterations possible. bloom, on the other hand, rapidly executes thousands of permutations to identify the most optimal solution.
Scenario Exploration: By conducting sophisticated analysis of solution feasibility and integrating with modelled data based on adaptable user preferences, bloom's optimisation capabilities surpass manual methods. It allows for the resizing of interventions and accurate cost optimisation across multiple scenarios.
Enhanced Quality: Being an automated process, bloom inherently integrates quality control, significantly reducing the likelihood of human error and overlooking potential solutions.
