Network audit
Review diagrams, asset records and operating data.
02 / Consortium expertise
Hydraulic modelling for water and wastewater networks
We develop digital calculation models for water and wastewater networks, from source-data review and asset inventory to calibrated scenarios and practical reconstruction recommendations. Official utility references confirm the delivery experience of Ekolas Research and Production Centre.
Who it is for
From need to operational system
We work with territorial communities, government authorities, municipal utilities, engineering organisations and responsible businesses.
We adapt the solution to real data, regulations, resources and client-team responsibilities. Delivery covers audit, requirements, design, implementation, training and support.
Scope
What the service includes
Modules are refined after reviewing source data and project goals.
Inventory
Structure data on pipes, manholes, pumps, tanks and valves.
Calculation model
Represent actual water and wastewater operating modes.
Calibration
Compare the model with measured pressure, flow and level data.
Scenario analysis
Test failures, switching, connections and future loads.
Optimisation
Prepare measures for resilience, efficiency and staged development.
Outcomes
Practical value for the client
- Evidence-based reconstruction decisions
- Identification of bottlenecks and critical sections
- Development scenarios before capital works
- A practical tool for utility engineers
How we work
Implementation details
The approach is adapted to the client’s data, infrastructure and responsibilities.
From network diagrams to a reliable model
A calculation is useful only when source data reflects the real structure and operation of the network. We review topology, diameters, materials, elevations, pumping equipment, valves, reservoirs and demand connections. Uncertain sections are recorded separately and a verification programme is prepared, allowing the client to understand the confidence level behind each scenario and recommendation.
Calibration with measured data
Model results are compared with measured pressure, flow, level and pumping-station operation. Differences can reveal diagram errors, undocumented connections, changed pipe characteristics or unusual equipment behaviour. A calibrated model becomes a practical engineering tool for testing emergency modes, new connections, operational changes and reconstruction options rather than a one-off theoretical calculation.
Reconstruction and optimisation scenarios
We compare pipe replacement, looping, pump schedules, pressure zones and future loads. Wastewater studies can cover sanitary and storm systems, pressure mains, gravity sewers and pumping stations. Results are presented so utility specialists can relate each measure to priorities, budget and delivery sequence, making the model useful for both immediate operational decisions and long-term capital planning.
Documented municipal-network experience
Official references cover work in Sloviansk, Vyshhorod, Boryspil, Kherson, Uzhhorod, Nikopol, Yuzhne and Novodonetske. The Nikopol document confirms surveying 9,485 sewer manholes, network inventory and hydraulic modelling. These records are explicitly attributed to Ekolas Research and Production Centre and are not automatically represented as consortium-wide delivery experience.

What to clarify before starting
Which data is required to begin?
Network diagrams, asset records, elevations, pump modes, demand data and available measurements; gaps are identified during the audit.
Can wastewater networks be modelled?
Yes. The scope can include sanitary and stormwater systems, pressure and gravity networks, and pumping stations.
Does the utility retain the model?
Yes. Handover format, licensing, training and future updates are defined in the contract and technical brief.
To prepare a proposal, the client can provide the available network diagram, a description of the problem, known measurements and the decision the model should support. We identify usable data, field-verification needs and justified detail. Control scenarios, recommendations, software, database handover and training are agreed explicitly. The result is not only a calculation file but a repeatable method for testing assumptions, selecting investment measures and keeping the model current after the contract, so engineering knowledge remains available to the utility team.
