Poster
Successes and Challenges of Building a Large-Scale Collection System Model in Canada Regional Municipality of Peel, Canada Regional Municipality of Peel’s wastewater collection system has about 56000 maintenance holes, 58000 sanitary sewers with a total length 3670km, pipe sizes range from 200mm to 3000mm. It also has 34 sewage pumping stations and two wastewater treatment plants. The system currently serves 1.5 million population with strong growth in the future. A region wide wastewater model has been calibrated and validated using over 300 flow monitoring stations with multiple years’ flow monitoring data and Gauge Adjusted Radar Rainfall (GARR), which provides much higher degree of rainfall spatial resolution compared to rain gauges. Creating such a large-scale model has been very challenging and many lessons learned. The model has been a critical decision-making tool, which has been used for region’s Wastewater Master Plan study, Rainfall Derived Infiltration and Inflow (RDII) investigation and reduction, all region’s Environment Assessment (EA) projects and Capital works, Basement Flooding investigation, potentially for Real Time Control study. | |
