Water Hammer and Transient Analysis

Software

Every time a pump or valve is operated, potentially dangerous transients are introduced in your
water distribution or wastewater system. Unchecked, transients can have catastrophic
consequences on your pipes and equipment, operators, and customers.
Water utilities, municipalities, and engineering firms around the world trust HAMMERs
computationally rigorous engine and easy-to-use interface to efficiently identify, manage, and
mitigate the risks associated with transients.

Identify critical points in the system that need protection and facilitate sound system design with
HAMMER modeling tools:

Focus on mitigating surge, not on the modeling process: Streamlined model building and
management enables you to jump-start the model building process and manage your model
effectively, so that you can focus on developing the most appropriate strategy for controlling and
limiting hydraulic transients.

Simulate transient precisely to improve the quality of your decisions: Decrease the risk of
approximating the behavior of protective devices and rotating equipment. Rough estimation of
transients can be too costly. HAMMER helps you accurately simulate the impact of a wide range of
surge protection devices and rotating equipment (pumps and turbines).

Leverage existing CAD and GIS data for improved design productivity and to enrich the
system or model that utility personnel rely on.

o Control transients by performing a transient analysis to locate trouble spots and

determine appropriate surge control strategies. Precise transient simulation in HAMMER enables
you to decrease the risk of approximating the behavior of protective devices and rotating equipment
(pumps and turbines).
