Utility systems design
We design installations and utility networks by correlating utility requirements with operating parameters, existing infrastructure capacity, and technical connection conditions. We analyze topographic and geotechnical data, site configuration, estimated consumption, and expansion possibilities. We define functional schemes, connection points, and intervention limits, taking into account the requirements of utility operators and the continuity of supply or discharge during the works.
For water supply networks, we perform hydraulic sizing based on design flow rates and relevant consumption scenarios. We verify diameters, flow velocities, distributed and local head losses, as well as available pressures at characteristic points of the system. We establish the pipeline configuration and the placement of isolation, control, venting, and drainage valves, depending on the network profile and operating conditions. For pumping systems, we correlate equipment characteristics with the required flow rate and total dynamic head, operating regime, and energy efficiency requirements.
For domestic and stormwater sewerage, we determine flow rates in relation to wastewater sources, catchment areas, and discharge conditions. We analyze transport capacity, slopes, velocities, and filling ratios for gravity sections, as well as head losses and pumping regimes for pressurized pipes. We size and place manholes, gullies, and other collection, inspection, and maintenance elements. Where applicable, we integrate pumping stations, retention volumes, and flow-limiting solutions, in correlation with the capacity of the receiving network.
We establish routes, installation elevations, pipe materials, and construction solutions based on hydraulic and mechanical loads, terrain characteristics, groundwater levels, and traffic loads. We develop details for the bedding, backfilling, protections, anchorages, manholes, and associated structures. We correlate the networks with site grading, roads, platforms, and buildings, addressing interferences, crossings, and intersections with existing utilities. We ensure accessibility for interventions and the feasibility of phased execution.
We prepare technical reports, calculation briefs, site plans, longitudinal profiles, assembly diagrams, execution details, and bills of quantities, adapted to the permitting, authorization, and technical design stages. We define requirements regarding materials, execution, inspections, and tests necessary to demonstrate the functionality and tightness of the systems. We provide technical assistance to clarify documentation, resolve field discrepancies, and evaluate proposed changes, ensuring the maintenance of design parameters and operating conditions.
