Water Hammer in Water Systems: Analyse and Mitigate using Autodesk's Water Solutions

 

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

Digital Twin Innovation: Glasgow Smart Canal

Watch the webinar

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.

Speakers
Peter Robinson - Lead Waterways & Coasts Engineer at AECOM

Leveraging Rainwater Management for Climate Resilience

Watch the webinar

Climate change continues to drive heavier rainfall and more extreme floods across the EMEA region. It’s why the challenge of managing rainwater has greatly increased in recent years especially for urban environments where the impact of flooding and pollution pose a severe threat to health, safety and quality of life.

Join us to hear from Anthony McCloy, Director at McCloy Consulting to learn about his work with the Irish Government in developing guidance for Rainwater Management Plans (RMPs).

Find out how we can begin to sustainably manage rainfall runoff from both existing and future developments and how a greater understanding of rainwater management will assist in future plan-making as well as make our urban areas more climate resilient.

  • Understand the issues the plan will address
  • Discover the process and considerations to inform the plan
  • Gain insight into types of data to use and their outputs

Join us to also receive a FREE guidance document for RMPs to help you understand the processes, considerations, data and outputs.

Attendance certificates for proof of continuing professional development will be provided for this webinar.

Remember to join us LIVE or register for a recording!

Modelling innovative Blue-Green approaches to stormwater management

Register now

In this webinar AECOM will showcase how a pilot project is spearheading an exciting new approach to urban water management.

The £76M Mansfield Sustainable Flood Resilience project is tackling the increasing challenge of surface water flooding – a risk intensified by climate change and urban development – through the widespread use of nature-based solutions such as rain gardens, bioswales and detention basins. Hundreds of sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) are being installed throughout the town, making it the largest retrofit scheme of its kind in the UK.

As lead design partner and strategic advisors to Severn Trent, AECOM developed the catchment strategy and used hydraulic modelling to select sites for the SuDS and inform both outline and detailed design. The pace and scale of this programme demanded innovation and excellence at every stage. Find out how AECOM developed a multifaceted modelling strategy based on InfoWorks ICM that forced a rethink to their approach as traditional methods would have taken too long.

Join us to learn how the Mansfield scheme uniquely moves away from a traditional engineering approach and uses blue-green infrastructure instead to slow the flow and store the water.

Attendance certificates will be provided to attendees to use for proof of continued professional development.
