Water Features

DEMAND PATTERNS FOR LARGE CITIES, VILLAGES & RURAL COMMUNITIES
The demand for water in a water supply system varies with time (the usual terms are hourly and seasonal fluctuation in demand or in consumption). The daily water demand distribution is modeled by means of hourly coefficients, that is the water use in any particular hour of the day, is given as a ratio of the daily average. The demands may be multiplied by the seasonal peak factor, if appropriate. This will have the effect of increasing all the demand values by the seasonal peak factor. Typically, hotels would experience variation in water demand during the holiday season. In rural areas the seasonal increase in water usage would correspond with the dry period etc.

LINK EXTERNAL DATA TABLES SUCH AS CONSUMPTION AND TARIFF DETAILS
Import data from various sources such as ASCII tables, spreadsheets, DBase or MS Access tables as well as DWG/DXF files. Attach external water consumption tables and compare the measured usage to the modelled consumption to calibrate the demand or identify problem areas in the network.

CUSTOMIZABLE PIPE DATABASE WITH DEFINABLE PIPE TYPES & SIZES
You can create multiple databases which can contain information regarding pipe services, for example sewer pipes, stormwater culverts, water networks, electrical layouts, telecommunication cables etc. You can then use these databases to indicate crossing positions of the pipes/cables on road, sewer, storm and water long sections as well as the road vertical alignment view. The databases can also be used when running the pipe clashes routine.

PUMP STATIONS WITH UP TO 8 PUMPS IN PARALLEL WITH VARIOUS CONTROLS
Up to 8 pumps may be handled in each pump station. Multiple pumps are configured in parallel. Pumps may be controlled by pressure, reservoir water level or be time-based (on/off at certain times). Pumps can be configured as sump pumps with a defined pump elevation or as an inline booster which assumes the pipe level.

DISPLAY RESULTS GRAPHICALLY, IN TABLES OR ON TIME-BASED CURVES
Display the results of an analysis graphically by colour according to calculated results, in tables, or on time-based curves.

VIEW VELOCITIES, FLOWS, PRESSURES, LOSSES & HYDRAULIC GRADE LINES
Velocities, flows, pressures, losses and hydraulic grade lines are all displayed graphically.

ALSO VIEW RESERVOIR LEVELS AND PUMP DUTY POINTS
Pump head pressure and duty points are displayed on the pump curve.

HYDRAULIC AND PRESSURE CONTOUR PLOTTING
Hydraulic grade contours are generated contours created using pressures as modelled at the time of creation. After contours have been generated it is possible to use different display options as for any other generated contour. It is also possible to combine pressure contours with height shading or slope shading.

SABS 1200 QUANTITIES WITH BEDDING MATERIAL/SELECTED BACKFILL
There are various default bedding classes included, any value may be changed, and the diagram will update to graphically show the changes. Clicking on the Default button will reset all the options back to the default SABS 1200 values for the specific bedding class.

CULVERT CLASH ANALYSIS WITH CROSSING SERVICES
Pipe and services databases (Sewer pipes, Stormwater culverts, Water networks, electrical layouts, telecommunication cables etc) can be imported or added into Civil Designer to indicate crossing positions of the pipes/cables on road, sewer, storm and water services. The pipe functions allow you to generate pipeline long and cross sections, with pipes between manholes, pipes defined by length or pipes parallel to the ground profile.

GENERATES LAYOUT PLAN WITH PIPE SCHEDULE AND LONG SECTIONS
Production drawings such as plans, cross sections and long sections with title blocks and company logos etc can be created with no or little CAD editing. The layout of production drawings are completely customizable according to your specific company standards, Crossing services from the other modules can also automatically be displayed on long sections and cross sections.
