Hydraulic modelling of water supply and sewerage systems and pipelines provides very crucial information on hydraulic integrity- capacity, flow and pressure in the system as well as hydraulic & energy efficiency, and leakage detection.
The 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 hydraulic and water quality integrity 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.
Services
Our comprehensive services includes:
- Hydraulic modelling
- Development of computer hydraulic model for water and sewerage systems to investigate the hydraulic capacity, flow and pressure, hydraulic and energy efficiency improvement, high pressure zones and leakage identification and pressure reduction.
- Surge Analysis
Thoroughly examining pressure surges for a wide variety of water pipeline and pump facilities. - Hydraulic Design of Surge Protection
Recommending best practices for design and operation of pump stations and pipelines design of surge protection measures such as: pressurized surge tanks, anti-slam vacuum relief valves, surge towers, standpipes, surge and pressure relief valves, pump control valves, bypasses, and surge anticipatory valves. Valve recommendations, analysis and determination of safe opening and closing time for regulating valves. - Field Investigation/Assessment
Water balance and hydraulic Investigation of performance of water transfer, water treatment and distribution system, storage reservoirs and pump stations and valve operation.
Applications and Benefits:
- Increasing efficiency and lifespan of existing water, wastewater, stromwater and hydropower systems
- Safeguarding against catastrophic failures brought on by adverse pressures
- Enabling of safe, better designs for new pipeline systems
