The result of the hydraulic calculation is a complete flow distribution in the water supply network and pressure at all locations.
Services for developing a model of the designed water supply system or a hydraulic model for the existing water supply system include:
• preparation of a water supply scheme including characteristics of pipelines, topographic data (relative heights of nodal points), daily flow rate and dynamics of flow rate at pumping stations; rate of consumption by end consumers according to the database of the consumers department; data collection and analysis of daily consumption dynamics for major consumer groups; calculations of the coefficients of uneven daily consumption.
• obtaining and recording data on the actual condition and practical management of systems (daily operation of pumps, valve control, follow-up and recording of accidents, pressure and flow control);
• modeling of the operating mode of all components of the model;
• trial runs of the model and testing of the obtained results;
• work verification and data adjustment (correction of errors);
• preparation of recommendations for implementing the programme of measurements of actual pressure and flow rate in the network;
• implementation of the programme of measurements and calibration of the hydraulic model of the water supply system;
• proposals for upgrading the water supply system including optimisation of the operating modes of pumping stations.
We perform modeling as independent projects or as part of projects for the reconstruction and modernisation of water supply systems in settlements, as projects for designing a water supply system for new areas, as well as in the framework of implementation of master urban development plans, etc. Our specialists have extensive experience in areas of hydraulic modeling of water supply networks using the EPANET Hydraulic Modeling System (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Cincinnati, Ohio), as well as in developing recommendations for improving the efficiency of their operation.
Network modeling ensures the most effective result in combination with the use of vector GIS maps.
