Hydraulic surge analysis can help both water utilities and energy companies avoid costly damage to their transmission systems. Surge analysis predicts maximum and minimum surge pressures caused by transient events such as starting and stopping pumps or opening and closing valves. Conducting a surge analysis typically costs far less than repairing damage from a surge event. Our surge analysts will explain surge mitigation strategies and steps that can protect your system.

 By the end of this course, participants will better be able to:

• Recognize why surge analysis is needed
• Pinpoint the data required for constructing a surge analysis model
• Identify the transient events that should be simulated when conducting a surge analysis
• Review hardware options for mitigating both high-pressure and vacuum-pressure surge problems
• Review the SCADA features needed to conduct a forensic analysis when a system fails due to surge
