Hydraulic consultancy, design and engineering for water transport

Hydraulic consultancy is a primary service since our first project in 1883, the pumping station Arkemheen. We combine innovation with 140 years of experience in water transport and hydraulics, ranging from flood risk management, drinking water intake, treatment, and distribution to wastewater collection, treatment and discharge.

Flood risk management, reliable drinking water and transport and treatment of sewage water are vital for everyone in society. All these factors rely on transporting water, sustainable water transport is possible with our expert hydraulic calculations and design.

Our hydraulic engineers are specialists in state-of-the-art water conveyance technology and continuously work to be at the fore of industry developments and innovation, supporting our clients worldwide.

Our services vary from troubleshooting, feasibility studies, and water hammer calculations to detailed engineering designs and construction supervision. Our unique combination of hydraulic experience and bespoke digital tools help us to ensure systems are safe, reliable, efficient and future-proof. We call on our extensive civil, electrical and mechanical engineering teams to deliver complete and integrated solutions, and our digital teams can design solutions that connect seamlessly with your existing systems.

Our hydraulic team has three main fields of expertise:

  • Water transport systems – such as distribution networks, (waste)water transport systems, intakes and outfalls, and water hammer solutions
  • Pumping stations – such as booster stations, (sea water) sewage pumping stations, surface water and drainage pumping stations
  • Operational control – such as pumping stations and water transport system asset management, performance monitoring, virtual commissioning and analysis and process control.

The benefits of a specialist hydraulic team

Independent hydraulic analysis
From capacity problem solving, water hammer calculations (air vessel design), water distribution, and pipe-sizing to virtual commissioning and 3D pumping station design, our teams can help you optimise performance and minimise cost and risk across your water system’s lifecycle.
Structured way of working
Our hydraulics consultants always use structured working methods. For example, we use engineering flowcharts to plan our projects and schematic drawings to record calculation inputs. This helps to understand the methodology behind each calculation and reproduce them when necessary.
Complete and integrated solutions
We solve even the most complex challenges and can call upon our extensive civil, electrical and mechanical engineering teams to deliver complete and integrated solutions. And our digital teams can design solutions that connect with your existing systems.
End-to-end hydraulic consultancy
Besides our engineering expertise, we’ve developed our own software solutions, such as Aquasuite SEWR, FLOW, OPIR and BURST. This means we can help you get up-to-date insights about how best to maintain, expand, and operate your hydraulic infrastructure – including  real-time analysis and control.
