PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 30, 2019--Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK) announced today that Tetra Tech and its client, the Louisville Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD), received the prestigious INFORMS 2019 Franz Edelman Award for Achievement in Advanced Analytics, Operations Research, and Management Science. The Edelman Award is the highest award in operation research and analytics. This year’s finalists included IBM; Microsoft; the Boston School Board; the Spanish National Aviation Authority; and Vattenfall, one of Europe’s largest producers of electricity.

MSD was faced with increasingly frequent and intense rainfall that can overwhelm urban wastewater collection and treatment systems and threaten local water environments. MSD partnered with Tetra Tech to implement a real-time control solution using Csoft ®, Tetra Tech’s software platform that uses data analytics to optimize the management of sewer networks in real time based on rain forecasts and sensor readings. The solution realized more than $200 million in savings for the local community by reducing the cost of capturing wet weather overflows.
