Open Channel Hydraulics – WwTW / STW

Hydraulic profile calculations through the entire treatment process (including Inlet Works / Flume assessment / PSTs / FSTs / Humus Tank / Aeration Lanes / Percolating/Bio Filters / Tertiary Filtration).

Development of hydraulic profiles through the works during normal operations as well as maintenance case assessment, ensuring operational flexibility and making hydraulic design recommendations to ensure safe and optimal performance of the works.

Cost effective design, verification and optimisation of open channel systems.
