FlowWorks Has a New Home!

Posted on by

After months of looking for office space, FlowWorks has found a new home in one of the most exciting parts of Seattle—-the International District! Located at 606 Maynard Avenue South, FlowWorks has agreed to share office space with the Pat Graney Dance Company.  Pat is an innovator in modern dance and well-known Seattle artist.  She is also a great lady and we are very happy to be associated with her.

We officially moved in on January 6, 2012 after a few weeks of clearing out, construction and moving furniture. Here are some photos!


Pat Graney and Randi are looking through the office set-up plans before the move-in.


Some of the FlowWorks crew hard at work on our first day in the new location. There is still lots to do, but we are adjusting well.  It’s nice to be settled.

We should mention that we are just blocks away from Safeco and PhoneCompany Fields, home of the Seattle Mariners, Sounders, and Seahawks.

FlowWorks was asked to present at the UIM Water/Wastewater Conference, held near Seattle May 4, 2011.  Timothy Hicks, FlowWorks President, gave a presentation titled “A Better Way to Manage Data” covering web-based data management platforms and the role they can play in collaborative data management and analysis.

The presentation included several case studies detailing utilities that have successfully used FlowWorks to pull data together across multiple data systems for analysis and decision making.  Manufacturers data systems discussed included ADS Intelliserve, Hach FSdata, ISCO Flowlink and Telog Enterprise along with SCADA, USGS and NOAA data.

The 2011 UIM Water/Wastewater Conference featured a host of expert presenters covering an array of utility management topics. The conference gathered more than 250 people at the Doubletree Guest Suites Southcenter in Tukwila.  FlowWorks was particularly pleased to present as this is our home territory.

Seattle Public Utilities Joins FlowWorks

FlowWorks is proud to announce a new partnership with Seattle Public Utilities and ADS Environmental Services to provide the city’s new flow-monitoring services. As part of the new combined sewer overflow (CSO) program, we will work closely with the city and ADS to oversee flow monitoring and data management.

SPU chose FlowWorks because of our proven ability to gather data into one place so CSO events can be analyzed quickly, understood and communicated to all users. Operating in near-real time, SPU’s new FlowWorks service easily loads two years of 5-minute data from the server in under 6 seconds. Already the city is enjoying better collaboration, faster problem solving and quicker response times.

Other highlights our service brings to the new partnership include:

• Secure, internet-based platform
• Used for gathering, analyzing and managing water, sewer, rainfall and other remote data Hardware neutral
• Accepts data from any flow meter or manufacturer’s data system, as well as SCADA, Historic and manual data
• Includes powerful graphing engine, storage for all forms of meta data, event alarms and analysis capabilities for I&I and rainfall IDF

ADS develops and provides technology-based flow measurement products and services for the water, wastewater and hydroelectric industries. The firm is a veteran of working with SPU and has provided excellent flow servicing, engineering, and a high degree of data integrity to the utility for the past five years. When the contract came up for re-bid, SPU leadership recognized the need to add a robust data-delivery and work order management system to the program—FlowWorks was a natural choice. Already the team of FlowWorks and ADS has proven to be exactly what SPU was looking for and together we help to build on past success with SPU.

FlowWorks continually proves to be the platform of choice for municipalities, utilities and industrial clients seeking to manage, analyze and understand large quantities of remote data quickly, and securely communicate the results to a broad audience.
