• Pipe Decision (Scripted) [WDS O5.5]: Water Distribution Main Replacement & PRV Setting Optimization w/ Fire-Flow Considerations

  General Project Background: This decision example is based on a utility that was utilizing Optimizer WDS to determine the optimal pipe size configurations to implement as a part of their organization's water mains replacement plan within the broader Capital Improvment Plan (CIP). The engineers wanted to consider a range of pipe sizes for non-dead-end service lines, and the design needed to be tested under fireflow conditions assessed at hydrants throughout the network model.

• Valve Decision [WDS O5.5]: Water Distribution Main Replacement & PRV Setting Optimization w/ Fire-Flow Considerations

  General Project Background: This decision example is based on a utility that was utilizing Optimizer WDS to determine the optimal pressure reducing valve setting to implement as a part of their organization's broader Capital Improvment Plan (CIP). The engineers wanted to consider a range of valve settings that would be able to maintain the appropriate presures under fireflow conditions assessed at hydrants throughout the network model.
