How To Use The ARX Platform
Automation drives productivity.
The ARX Platform™ replicates typical wastewater collection planning workflows, while automating most manual tasks.
The ARX Workflow - The Same as Your Workflow
Define Your Assumptions & Constraints
- Project Scope: Define project boundaries for precise and targeted analysis
- Environmental Context: Integrate terrain data and identify service areas for accuracy
- Regulatory Compliance: Factor in regulations and known constraints to assess real-world feasibility
Generate Feasible Infrastructure Alternatives
- Wastewater collection system layouts: Optimize network configurations for site-specific needs
- Rigorous Evaluation: Analyze based on sewer type, site conditions, and engineering logic
- Buildable Options: Focus on practical, feasible, solutions ready for implementation
Analyze Hydraulic Performance
- Hydraulic Grade Line (HGL): Precisely identify the HGL to ensure system integrity and pressure management
- System Behavior, limits, & Feasibility: Gain deep visibility into operational limits, behavior patterns, and long-term technical feasibility
Clearly Visualize Tradeoffs
- Compare Alternatives: Side-by-side comparison of alternatives (Future)
- Integrated Metrics: Layouts, hydraulics, and cost ranges consolidated
- Stakeholder Alignment: Designed to support discussion and alignment

The ARX Platform Benefits
Maintain Oversight and Collaboration
The ARX Platform visual representation of in-ground infrastructure and cost data enables you to easily understand the full context of designs while collaborating throughout the project.
Better, More Confident Decisions
The ARX Platform enables you to consider all the options up front: collection system type, pipe layouts, and material selection. Data-driven insights eliminate guesswork; upfront regulatory considerations, local cost data, hydraulic considerations, and other factors provide the full picture.
Faster Planning Cycles
Slash planning timeframes from months to days. Easily automate tedious, manual efforts via Esri, Autodesk, and Asset Management tool integrations. Visual representations enable clear views and rapid decision-making.
Instantly Review the Impact of Changes
The ARX intuitive user interface makes it fast and easy to make alterations at any time, from initial planning to engineering change orders, with automatic cost updates in real time.
Shrink Project Timeframes and Costs
Rapid, informed early decisions reduce false starts and mitigate risks redundant studies, redesign, and rework. Further, the ARX Platform significantly reduces planning and evaluation timeframes that directly translate into cost savings and efficient use of capital.
