[Saice] 2Day Network Analysis and Instroduction to Surge Analysis Course

[Memory Scheepers]

The SAICE Water Division presents a 2-day Network Analysis and Introduction to Surge Analysis Course. Kindly refer to the attached document for more information.

An introduction to the hydraulic modeling of water distribution systems will be covered, reflecting the basics of water distribution modeling and reviewing the different components of water distribution systems. EPANET, which is public domain software, will be used for the modeling although the basic principles taught are applicable to any water distribution modeling software.

Transient flow assessment is a crucial part of the pressure class selection of pipes during the final design stage to prevent surge pressures, which could result in pipe failures. Foreseen and unforeseen operational circumstances can result in undesirable pressure conditions that should be analyzed during the design of new pipelines, assessment of the upgrading of existing systems and determining the influence and risk associated with planned operational changes. Aspects that will be discussed are the basics of transient flows, calculation procedures, selection of surge protection devices and the use of the UPSurge (www.sinotechcc.co.za<http://www.sinotechcc.co.za>).

Planners, designers and managers of pipelines and water infrastructure, will benefit from the course. The planned programme for the course is attached.
