Modeling software
Bentley Systems has announced its new WaterCAD and WaterGEMS V8i (SELECTseries 4) information modeling software for the analysis and design of water distribution systems. New capabilities help utilities optimize the efficiency of water distribution systems, minimizing operational costs. For example, utilities can now aggregate energy costs across pumping stations and factor in complex tariffs as well as non-model-related energy costs to perform net present-value analyses of their operating scenarios. This enables modelers to determine the most cost-efficient strategy.

Pneumatic power drive
Reed Manufacturing's 700APD Power Drive is a portable, pneumatic, heavy-duty power drive which provides power for threading pipe and conduit up to 2" (50 mm) diameter. Since it is pneumatic, it can be used in environments where electric shock or sparks from an electric tool are hazardous. The included Safety Arm absorbs the forces generated during threading and frees up the operator to oil the dies during threading.
