Hydraulic Modelling

Hydraulic modelling provides a means of analyzing the overall performance of a sewer system as the interaction of all system components is illustrated. Modelling facilitates the comparison of competing options for system optimization and the evaluation of best management practices (BMPs).

Hydro-Com Technologies Limited has the experience and expertise in providing hydraulic models for the following applications:

• Storm sewer systems
• Sanitary sewer systems
• Combined sewer systems
• Gravity and pressure systems
• Pumping stations
• Analysis of infiltration/inflow study results and flow monitoring data

The various hydraulic software packages used by Hydro-Com Technologies Limited have the following modelling capabilities:

• Create a dynamic sewer system representation
• Analyze lift station operation and overflows
• Simulate system surcharging and flooding
• Analyze sanitary sewer and combined sewer overflows
• Analyze long term system performance
• Represent tidal influence
• Determine existing and reserve flow capacities
• Identify system “bottlenecks” and model potential fixes
• Aid in development of a sewer system master-plan
