Hydraulic Modelling
Simulate pressure, flow, and demand across the network to optimize operations, plan expansions, and test resilience under failures.
What You Can Do
Hydraulic Modelling for Operational Confidence and Future Planning
Hydraulic Modelling helps engineering and operations teams understand how the network behaves under different conditions—normal operations, peak demand, valve closures, pump changes, or pipe failures. By calibrating models with real telemetry, institutions can plan upgrades accurately and reduce costly trial-and-error field changes.
Key Capabilities
- Steady-state and extended period simulations
- Pressure zone analysis and compliance checks
- Demand forecasting and growth scenarios
- Operational scenario testing: Pump scheduling, valve changes, tank controls.
- Model calibration support: Align model outputs with measured pressures/flows.
- Resilience analysis: Failure scenarios, contingency supply planning.
Typical Workflows
- Import network topology → define zones and controls.
- Calibrate using telemetry → validate pressures at key nodes.
- Run scenarios (peak demand, outages, new development).
- Compare results → select best intervention (PRVs, boosters, pipe upsizing).
