Data Management Capability PDFINMS Capability PDFData Management and INMS (Integrated Network Management System)

Biwater provide the skills for collecting and managing data related to databases, GIS records and technical knowledge, applying verification and analysis. This work can be carried out in a standalone basis or in conjuction with other activities.

 

GIS/GPS Capability PDFLand Surveying Capability PDFGIS/ GPS Related Field Activities

Biwater provides fieldwork support to the office based data management activities. Our in-house skills go beyond the collection, recording and updating of feldwork data, and include 10mm XYZ accuracy site surveys which can be directly linked to clients GIS records and data sets and provide a comprehensive analysis service for performance reports on any geographic information system.
Biwater also offers a wide variety of surveying solutions for the engineering and construction industry. Using the most advanced equipment and highly trained staff, we can offer a cost effective solution to any surveying need.

 

Leakage Services Capability PDFDedicated In-House Software Capabillity PDFLeakage Management and Detection

Biwater supports its field based Leak Detection Service with office based DMA set-up, audit and pressure management skills. This service can be provided at strategic level or day to day maintenance level.

Biwater's leakage engineers are trained and equipped to achieve such accuracy in leak location, to enable repairs to be effected with the minimum of evacuation and disruption. We are able to achieve such high levels of performance through our use of the latest technology, and our professionally trained staff who are reinforced by our own performance monitoring software.

Biwater have developed their own software for Leakage Detection Information Management ystems and Water Asset management Equipment Stock control/ hire which are available to external clients.

 

Network Modelling

Biwater offers expertise in network analysis to:

  • Facilitate hydraulic analysis and indicate low pressure areas
  • Provide real time simulation of a dynamic system through a range of conditions and provide operational data
  • Provide the means to generate an information database of all assets i.e: material, age and size of pipework; records of all incidents e.g. water main bursts can be recorded to enable 'trend' analysis of asset performance
  • Provide the basis for asset management planning
  • Analyse the implications of population growth
  • Investigate the causes of water quality complaints
  • Develop a programme of mains reinforcement
  • Optimise investment in underground infrastructure

 

Mains Rehabilitation Planning and Water Quality Modelling

Biwater Planning has undertaken studies to determine the rehabilitation needs of many major cities throughout the world.
Each city has required a significant investment in its underground asset in order to achieve required standards of service. Each has faced the challenge of making that investment from a starting point of little or no information on their assets and conditions.

Drainage Area Studies

Biwater offers water companies and environmental agencies consultancy services for:

  • Prioritisation of sewerage deficiencies in accordance with client's specification
  • Drainage Area Plans
  • Combined sewer overflow survey, assessment, cost effective design of outline and detailed solutions
  • Structural assessment of sewers with cost effective solutions to identified deficiences
  • Flooding identification, assessment, and provision of cost effective solutions
  • Catchment capacity for new development
  • Asset Management Planning (AMP)

Sewer flow surveys can provide significant benefits to water companies and drainage engineers. Data from such surveys can be utilised for drainage area planning and hydraulic model verification. Flow surveys are also carried out for CSO and pumping station assessment, along with trunk sewer and sea outfall flow measurement.

 

Surge Analysis and Pressure TestingClick here to download capability pdf

Biwater use the FLOWMASTER variable wavespeed transient hydraulic modelling system. This not only produces a powerful means of obtaining surge pressure results but also allows the engineer to test drive the system and identify operational problems.
