Opti’s CMAC (continuous monitoring and adaptive control) drainage system monitors weather forecasts and controls drainage valves to minimize flooding and environmentally hazardous run-off. By installing these CMAC systems around cities, Opti saves the city money by protecting valuable infrastructure. They also deliver value to their customers every time a storm hits – year after year.
