Hydraulic modelling of water pipelines and distribution systems provides very crucial information on capacity of the system, flow, pressure, hydraulic & energy efficiency, and leakage detection.
Also hydraulic transients, or pressure surges, or water hammer are created when sudden changes in flow rates occur in water pipeline, pumping and hydropower systems. The pressures created may be high enough to damage or even cause catastrophic failure of pipelines. Specialized hydraulic transient analysis provides the basis for designing surge control measures to protect important infrastructure.
Infra Tech Pacific provides hydraulic modelling for flow and hydraulic & energy efficiency improvement and transient analysis and design recommendations for control of adverse pressure surges. These services are used in designing a wide variety of facilities including water supply, wastewater, and stormwater pump stations; well fields; treatment plants; hydropower plants.
