Hydraulic transients, commonly known as water hammer, pose a serious threat to water distribution systems, as they can often cause catastrophic pipe bursts. Based on the adage that "a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing", this webinar was formulated to introduce the fundamentals, caution against common pitfalls, and outline the streamlined workflow in Autodesk’s water solutions to analyze and mitigate transients in your piping systems.
Sign up now to see how you can leverage Autodesk’s water solutions to analyse and mitigate catastrophic water hammer events.
What’s on the agenda?
- Water hammer analysis
- Theory
- Common pitfalls
- Transient modelling in InfoWater Pro
- Transient modelling in InfoWorks WS Pro
Interested but unable to attend? Register anyway and we will share the recording of this webinar once the event has occurred.

Flooding, exacerbated by climate change, poses an increasingly significant risk to communities worldwide, emphasizing the critical need for proactive measures to ensure effective mitigation. We invite you to a webinar highlighting Türkiye's innovative National Flood Forecasting & Early Warning System. This webinar aims to provide insights into Türkiye's approach to flood prediction and early warning, offering valuable strategies for enhancing resilience in flood-prone areas.
Join us to discover how the InfoWorks ICM, renowned for its integrated hydrology and hydrodynamic modeling capabilities, along with the pioneering InfoWorks ICM Live automatic online modeling tool, are reshaping flood management paradigms everywhere.
With over 18 years of expertise in Water Projects, Özgüray has led as the Water Solutions Manager at Universal Software for the last 5 years. His profound involvement in crafting specialized systems that seamlessly merge technology and engineering has been instrumental in advancing water management practices.
Cihat is a dedicated water enthusiast who brings with him experience in water resources and its isotopes. Having earned his bachelor's degree in Turkiye, he furthered his expertise with a master's degree in hydrogeology in Western Australia. Throughout his academic journey, Cihat integrated theoretical knowledge with practical applications, honing his skills in both fieldwork and office-based studies. Now, he is a control engineer of the Flood Forecasting and Early Warning Centre team to contribute to the team’s success.
Salih, having worked extensively on flood analysis (including 1D-2D hydrodynamic analyses, preparation of flood inundation hazard and risk maps), was selected to join the team tasked with establishing the 'National Flood Forecasting and Early Warning Center' in Turkey. He conducted research in his field as a visiting scholar at California University (UCDavis). Currently, he is pursuing his PhD studies in Hydrological Modeling while serving as a control engineer within the Flood Forecasting and Early Warning Center team, contributing to its success. His areas of interest span hydraulics, hydrology, flood modeling, remote sensing, data analysis, and artificial intelligence.
Note: The times of this webinar are set to UTC+2 time zone.

Join us to hear from Peter Robinson, Lead Waterways & Coasts Engineer at AECOM, to learn about a pioneering first – the creation and ongoing development of Europe’s First Smart Canal.
The North Glasgow Integrated Water Management System (NGIWMS) built in partnership with AECOM is a pioneering drainage system that leverages the 250-year-old Forth & Clyde Canal and 21st-century Digital Twin technology from Innovyze to mitigate flood risk.
Live meteorological forecasting data and sensors enable real-time surface water management to unlock 110 hectares across the north of Glasgow for investment, regeneration, and development.
Learn more about the transformation of the canal into an intelligent water management system leveraging InfoWorks ICM to proactively reduce flood risk, deliver surface water storage when required, and enhance the environment for local communities.
Peter returned to AECOM in 2022 as Lead Engineer for Waterways and Coasts for the UK & Ireland, providing technical leadership in flood risk and water management projects. Previously, he was Head of Engineering at Scottish Canals, overseeing canal networks like the Caledonian, Crinan, and Lowland Canals, managing assets including 19 reservoirs, 140 miles of canals, the Falkirk Wheel, and the Kelpies. A highlight is the Glasgow Smart Canal, which Peter conceived at AECOM and led to delivery. In 2021, this project won awards from ICE, CECA, and the British Construction Industry Awards for innovation and sustainability.
