Our Vision

Flow and pressure monitoring using own portable equipment for verification of hydraulic parameters, model calibration, quantification of nocturnal minimum consumption and water balance.

Measurements of pressure transients using special equipment at very with high frequency of acquisition (5/100″) Pressure transients and water hammer are responsible for the progressive deterioration of pipelines and hydraulic devices and generate at the same time an increasing of water loss frequency.

Analysis of physical and commercial losses by establishing the water balance and measuring the night minimum.

Building and calibration of the mathematical model of the water distribution systems as a supporting tool for network management and design of interventions. The calibrated model is used for the performance analysis of the water network under different conditions, DMA design, operational optimization, handling of emergency and design of hydraulic upgrading and rehabilitation.

Design and implementation of District Metering Areas (DMA) to improve leakage control and the maintenance of the water network. Flow and pressure measurements to check DMA isolation and valves water tightening. Design of intervention and procurement management for permanent DMA implementation.

Design and implementation of pressure management to reduce water loss and optimize network management. Technical advice and assistance for the selection, setting and calibration of the most suitable devices to obtain the expected pressure regulation.

Leakage detection is carried out through the implementation of two steps: leakage pre-location to find areas with higher level of leakage and leaks pinpointing.

Leakage pre-location
Leakage pre-localization is performed with the Step-Test analysis (subdivision of the network into sectors and monitoring of inlet flow during the progressive isolation of the single sectors overnight). As an alternative to Step-Test, the deployment of noise loggers along the network is useful to identify areas with possible losses.

Air in pipelines determines several problems like pressure transients and hence risk of failure, flow reduction, reduction of pumping stations efficiency, cavitation, error in flow metering.

To reduce these problems, we carry out an accurate network analysis aimed at the identification of the optimal locations for the installation of suitable air control valves. At the same time, to reduce pressure transients and guarantee the protection from possible water hammers, we carry out the technical-economic analysis of the most suitable protection systems.
