System Modelling

model creation

Our aim is to offer a "same-week" service to clients requiring a system model to be built from a clean / consistent set of infrastruture, land and customer data.  We are often able to start from scratch and deliver a working model within two weeks.  Even in cases where issues needed to be resolved with the client's input data.

We find the best results can be delivered by going to a "model-objects match real-world objects" level of granularity:

  • each water source;
  • explicitly every pipe (except at pump and valve station manifolds);
  • every customer located explicitly on their property;
  • every storage facility;
  • every pump set;
  • every control valve; and
  • control logic emulating the real-world.

model maintenance

jClem Consulting offers a model maintenance service for those clients wishing to keep their models updated at about 6 or 12 month intervals.  This service is particularly valuable when computer simulations are required at short-notice to answer questions about:

  • abnormal operating scenarios;
  • main extensions to new subdivisions;
  • fire service capacity at one location.
