Field Performance Testing

The true power of hydraulic modelling and analysis, and proper understanding of the behaviour of hydraulic systems, comes from supporting concepts and hypotheses with field measurement and verification.  HydraTek has performed field testing and measurement on water and wastewater systems in Canada and internationally, including:

  • Pressure monitoring
    • Traditional low-frequency
    • High-frequency – up to 100 Hz – for transient monitoring
  • Flow metering and monitoring
  • Pump efficiency and performance testing
    • High accuracy thermodynamic method
    • Conventional method
  • Water pumping station and transmission/distribution system transient pressure testing and commissioning
  • Wastewater pumping station and forcemain transient pressure testing and commissioning
  • Distribution system flow step testing
  • Special situations
    • Unique hydraulic problems
    • Forensic investigations
    • Other fluid systems
