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

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