Linking Bristol Babcock?s SCADA Systems To WaterCAD, A Water Distribution Modeling ToolWater distribution modeling and SCADA technology has evolved immensely in recent decades. A few years ago, integrating SCADA with WaterCAD would have been a formidable task because of technological limitations. However, now, because of advances in the software, integration for the two technologies has become a realistic target. Bristol Babcock offers a commercial SCADA system called Open Enterprise and Haestad Methods produces the water distribution modeling software solutions WaterCAD and WaterGEMS. These programs offer the programming-level customization technology known as WaterObjects, which can be used to extend the functionality of WaterCAD and WaterGEMS. In this joint effort project between the City of Bethlehem, Bristol Babcock Inc., and Haestad Methods Inc, WaterObjects was used to develop integration with Bristol Babcock?s open enterprise for the city of Bethlehem (PA).
