Optimizing Wastewater Upgrade Projects with Improved Hydraulics

Optimizing Wastewater Upgrade Projects with Improved Hydraulics

October 27, 2:00 p.m. Eastern

There has been increasing public awareness over aging infrastructure concerns in recent years. The U.S., in particular, has seen economic stimulus funding going toward water and wastewater system improvements. In many cases, upgrades will require a careful look at system hydraulics in order to avoid performance problems associated with new pump equipment being placed in existing station footprints and to ensure proper mixing and settling in process tanks.

Please join Alden, Malcolm Pirnie, and the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission (PVSC) to learn about how hydraulics improvements can impact the success or failure of wastewater projects. What are the challenges being faced by the industry currently? When is hydraulic modeling something to be considered? When can it be avoided? How can modeling costs be minimized?

Who should attend:
Municipal utility managers and engineers responsible for hydraulic equipment installation and upgrades, architectural/engineering project managers and designers
