June 23, 2026 — Atlanta — Oldcastle Infrastructure announced an agreement with Opti to launch SmartCapture™, an integrated smart stormwater storage system that combines precast concrete infrastructure with embedded continuous monitoring and adaptive control (CMAC).
The system integrates stormwater storage, water-level monitoring, and automated controls into a single platform. According to the companies, the technology is designed to help manage stormwater capacity based on changing weather forecasts and site conditions.
"SmartCapture brings together stormwater storage and adaptive control in a way the market has not seen before," says Matika Made, president of water quality at Oldcastle Infrastructure. "For engineers, municipalities and developers under pressure to do more with smaller footprints, tighter budgets and evolving weather patterns, this solution offers a practical way to improve performance, simplify construction and build more resilient stormwater systems."
Oldcastle Infrastructure and Opti recently implemented the technology on a flood mitigation project in Statesboro, Georgia. The system uses weather forecast data, water levels, and downstream conditions to adjust storage capacity ahead of storm events. At the site, water levels in Lake Sal can be reduced by up to two feet to create an additional 19.5 acre-feet of available storage.
In another recent project, SmartCapture eliminated the need for an additional system, avoiding associated unit, excavation, and installation costs and removing approximately two weeks of construction time. This resulted in estimated capital savings of $315,000 to $425,000.
The platform can also be connected to Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, allowing operators to monitor system performance and access operational data after installation. The monitoring capabilities can support asset management, reporting, and regulatory compliance activities.
