HYDRAULIC MODEL DEVELOPMENT CALIBRATION
FROM DATA TO DECISIONS GET A MODEL YOU CAN TRUST
HydraLink builds, calibrates, and validates hydraulic models that help utilities, municipalities, and engineers plan, design, and operate water systems with total confidence.

THE CHALLENGE
Even the most advanced model is only as good as its calibration.
When hydraulic models are built on incomplete data or outdated assumptions, the consequences multiply:
INACCURATE CAPACITY FORECASTS
DESIGN OR INVESTMENT ERRORS
DELAYED APPROVALS AND COSTLY REWORK
HydraLink turns fragmented data into a reliable decision-making tool — ensuring your model reflects how the system really performs, not just how it should.






OUR APPROACH
HydraLink follows a structured, seven-step calibration process that guarantees every model is accurate, traceable, and field-validated.
Each step is transparent and data-driven — giving our clients measurable confidence in every result.

Initial Data Review
We collect all available source materials — existing hydraulic model files, GIS data, as-built drawings, and operational records.
Each dataset is reviewed to assess the completeness and accuracy of network components, facilities, pump curves, and tank data.
This step helps identify missing or inconsistent information early, ensuring calibration accuracy later.
Model Update Development
We build or update your model using:
GIS or as-built drawings for network layout
P&ID and schematics for facilities
Pump and tank curves based on design and operational data
Every attribute is reviewed to ensure it represents current field conditions.
Field Test Planning
Transmission System Calibration
Distribution System Calibration
Model Validation
We adjust trunk-main and pumping-station parameters so that modelled pressures and flows match real-world observations.
We design and coordinate field tests — including pressure readings, flow measurements, and valve positions — to gather the data needed for precise calibration.
All work is coordinated with client teams to minimize operational disruption.
We fine-tune local distribution networks, accounting for:
Customer demand patterns
Diurnal (day-night) flow variations
Pressure fluctuations at critical nodes
This ensures the model behaves consistently under varying real-world conditions.
We verify the model using independent data sets not used in calibration — confirming that the model is accurate across multiple scenarios.
Finally, we deliver a clear, user-friendly report:
Step-by-step documentation of all changes
Visual dashboards and key metrics
Training sessions to help your team interpret and use the model confidently
Documentation Communication

RESULT:
Land Developer in Canada
The City of Toronto requires that the developer provides watermain hydraulic analysis to ensure the future development doesn't adversely impact the local distribution network
A hydraulic model calibrated based on existing field measurements to support fire flow and capacity assessment of the local network
The client had all the required documentation and a copy of the hydraulic model for a successful proposal for land development in the City
We pride on delivering accurate results fast. Our remote team works in multiple time zones to improve delivery times and continuous support for our clients. We work while our competitors sleep.
