We also do terrain modelling and flow measurements. We work with clients from public and private sectors, within the fields of construction, environment, energy and transport.
Numerical modelling – a tool to answer questions about water
Water is a resource - and sometimes a problem - in society. Numerical modelling has become a useful tool to provide more information on water quantities, flow directions and water quality. The benefits are many and varied. A model can be continuously updated which gives great flexibility, for instance when incorporating future climate change scenarios. Modelling offers an integrated approach to water problems through the possibility of combining the impact of different parts of the water cycle. Moreover, model visualization tools provide excellent presentation material.
What can WSP help you with?
Surface Water
- Effects in and around waterways due to e.g. new constructions or change in flow regulation. Floodmapping for spatial planning and emergency action planning.
- Erosion and sediment transport in rivers and coastal areas. Waves and currents in harbours and shipping lanes.
- Residence time and contaminant transport in lakes and coastal areas.
Groundwater
- Areas of influence due to dewatering, documentation for water permit applications. Infrastructure projects, quarry and mining operations.
- Contaminant pathways in water protection areas, leachate transport from dump sites.
- Residence time/ groundwater flow patterns in water supply aquifers.
Water, sewage and stormwater networks
- Water, sewage and stormwater networks: pipe sizing, dimensioning of pumping and booster stations, capacity analysis of existing networks, calculation of water quality and pressure waterhammer effects.
- New development areas: simulation of change in demands, runoff and analysis of stormwater detention. Effects of saline water in coastal developments.
- Analysis of firewater capacity in hydrant systems.
