Modeling
ADS Environmental Services uses hydraulic models to analyze water distribution systems. Our engineers use a variety of commercially available software. Our engineers are also experienced with thoroughly documenting, installing and integrating the model on our clients" computer systems and training staff in its use.
ADS engineers also have experience in modeling water quality parameters such as travel time and chlorine decay. Models can be used to develop operational changes or flushing programs to improve water quality. Proposed improvements can be evaluated to determine their impact on water quality.
We have worked on over 500 network computer models in our history and within the past five years ADS Pipeline has conducted hydraulic modeling studies for over 30 communities.
Water Quality Modeling - Calibrated models are used to predict the concentration of a substance as it moves through the system and decays over time. The concentration at a node can be traced over time and graphically compared to measurements.
