Hydraulics
and Hydrology
Our team is specialized in hydraulic and hydrological analyses for free surface and pressurized water systems.
We carry out detailed studies of steady and transient hydraulic problems and their associated protection systems, sediment transport / moviel bed calculations, floodplain modelling and water temperature / quality studies.
Complementarily, we analyse all the complete hydrological processes of hydrographic basins. To carry out these analyses we have following simulation software ALLIEVI, Hec-RAS y Hec- HMS.
Hydraulics engineering
- Hydraulic infrastructures: hydroelectric power plants, pump stations, …
- Steady state analysis in free surface and pressurized water systems.
- NPSH and submergence analysis.
- Transient state analysis in free surface and pressurized water systems.
- Design of protection systems: air vessels, unidirectional tanks, surge tanks, air valves
- Calculation of erosion in bridges or culverts
- Flooding studies for different return periods based on hydrological studies carried out: delimitation of the active channel, depth at each point of the considered section and velocities map
- Sediment transport / mobile bed calculations
- Water temperature / quality studies
Hydrological engineering
- Complete hydrological studies of hydrographic basin systems: effects on the channels, infiltration and evapotranspiration, alteration of superficial run-off and concentration times due to changes in land use, definition of design flows …
- Analysis of flood abatement and design of dam spillway
- Flood damage reduction and floodplain regulation
