WithersRavenel’s Director of Water/Wastewater Master Planning, Nina Caraway, PE, will share her expertise at the upcoming North Carolina One Water Annual Conference in Raleigh, NC. Her presentation, “Linking Hydraulic Modeling and Risk Analysis Through the Z-Dimension for the Town of Fuquay-Varina,” will take place on Monday, November 3, at 3:30 p.m. in Exhibit Hall ST as part of the Special Topics Track at the Raleigh Convention Center.
Nina’s session explores how the Town of Fuquay-Varina is meeting the challenges of rapid growth through an integrated approach to asset management and master planning. By linking hydraulic modeling, risk analysis, and system performance, Nina and her team developed a new framework called Performance Utilization & Long-Range Planning (PULP). This “Z-dimension” methodology enhances traditional risk-based prioritization by accounting for how assets perform under changing conditions, helping communities make smarter, data-driven capital improvement decisions.
Attendees will learn how this new approach connects asset condition, system capacity, and growth planning.
