Our Water Systems Engineering Services

computer modelling

map of urban water reticulation

More Details

Delivery of capital works programs, engineering designs, and operating strategies depend on timely access to up-to-date computer models of:

  • pipelines;
  • process loops; or
  • distribution networks.
hydraulic design

graph of parallel pump curves versus system curves

More Details

Hydraulic design, transient analysis and surge protection design for pressure-pipe systems of all scales:

  • irrigation;
  • mine pit dewatering; or
  • borefields;
  • cooling water; or
  • drinking water distribution.
functional control

functional control diagram

More Details

Documenting automatic controls to ensure the system operates as intended when first commissioned by the process control engineers:

  • functional control diagrams; and
  • zone / sub-system control statements.

expansion planning

list of future capital works

More Details

Analysing the ability of current infrastruction capacity to handle increased hydraulic load.

Planning future asset capacity and required commissioning dates.

peer review

pencil ticking a check-list

More Details

Providing highly experienced engineers to review clients' hydraulic and transient (surge protection) designs.

On more complicated projects, the peer reviewer often becomes a mentor / "sounding board" for the client's team.

optimisation

increasing performance chart

More Details

Developing seasonal or annual operating strategies to satisfy required service levels / output targets at lowest cost.

Our experience includes:

  • linear pipelines, operating in multiple modes;
  • cities with many diverse water sources and operating modes.

training

trainer at white-board

More Details

Delivering the following courses:

  • Transient analysis
  • Modelling drinking water systems
  • The principles of drinking water safety

Immersive "as-built" photography allowing remote viewing and interaction with utility infrastructure.

referral manager

map of urban development

More Details

Enabling small and medium-sized owners (of utility assets) to automate and manage their response to "dial before you dig" enquiries.


data integration

database relationships diagram

More Details

Identifying effective and productive ways for clients to integrate various business information systems:

  • costing & cost estimating;
  • GIS / CAD / asset mapping; and
  • system simulation, design and operation
change management

jumping off a high diving board

More Details

Managing substantial improvements throughout an entire business, as a positive experience for all involved.

Guiding project teams and stakeholders to deliver:

  • new business processes;
  • awareness and education; and
  • the required business tools.
simulation software
