Hydraulic modeling of water distribution and sewage systems is a fundamental tool for any sanitation company that wants to operate its system safely and efficiently.
The tool is important in expansion projects, sectorization analysis, network rehabilitation studies, pressure management, among others, hydraulic modeling allows different intervention scenarios to be simulated before being implemented. The evaluation of different alternatives allows decision-making to be made based on technical-financial aspects and for investments (CAPEX) and operating costs (OPEX) to be optimized.
The water supply and sewage projects are part of infrastructure planning in the public and private sectors. Saneflow understands the importance of high quality in the elaboration of these projects, that, in addition to being viable from a technical and economic point of view, need to be doable.
We are constantly using and looking for the most up-to-date and innovative tools, software, and systems.
The diagnosis of water and sewage systems, the evaluation of CAPEX, OPEX and revenue, and the studies to define the best solutions to meet pre-established goals are fundamental steps in the Technical, Economic and Financial Studies of projects for the evaluating a system for a concession contract.
Saneflow develops all the stages of this study, adding the team’s experiences in the technical and operational areas of the systems to simulate different scenarios, helping the customer in the final decision making.
With insightful reports, Saneflow helps companies build technical proposals for concessions public bids. We design the proposal to present the company’s capacity to execute actions, projects and plans that will be implemented to achieve the pre-established goals.
An action plan to reduce and control water losses is essential for any company that has the desire or need to reduce water production, optimize investments in infrastructure or operate its system at lower costs.
Using the most reliable water balance techniques (accredited by the IWA and IWWA) and operation and management tools, we carry out a detailed assessment of the supply system to understand the causes of the water losses and identify and prioritize the most efficient ways to combat them.
For investments to be made safely, we carry out a CAPEX and OPEX survey of these alternatives and evaluate the plan according to the time of implementation and return of investment, reaching a technical-financial break-even point that is viable and feasible for our customers.
Our team has experts for each area in the sanitation business, with proven experience in all phases that are part of the elaboration of a Municipal Sanitation Plan (PMSB – in portugese).
Managing different suppliers, implementing projected improvements based on a technical registry that is not necessarily updated, installing equipment and integrating systems, analyzing data collected in the field and bringing returns on investments can be simple activities when performed individually.
However, we know that projects in our business often involve two or more of these activities combined, and we also know that the cause for the failure of several projects can be rooted in the difficulty of carrying out this management in an agile and effective way.
We have extensive experience in managing complex projects, and we deliver results through detailed, sequenced and parallel control of all activities so that the final goal is successfully achieved.
We understand the challenge of energy efficiency in water and sewage business and, using the most recent and precise technologies, we carry out an assessment of the hydroenergetic functioning of the systems, thus proposing solutions that reduce the monthly bill and the electricity consumption of the units, while maintaining or improving supply conditions.
Costs are raised and different alternatives and strategies are evaluated so that companies can reduce their operating costs and manage to do the water distribution and sewage collection in a satisfactory way.
