Responding to high demand for an easy-to-use solution for analyzing and protecting pipelines from hydraulic transients, Haestad Methods hosted one of the company's most well attended transient analysis training courses to date. The training program, which was held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on June 3-4, was designed to educate water professionals on the causes of these damaging phenomena and how to design protective measures using Haestad Methods' HAMMER transient analysis software.
Dr. Edmundo Koelle, a leading figure in the Brazilian water resources industry, taught participants how to: (1) identify critical points in a system requiring surge protection; (2) avoid costly pipe breaks and service interruptions; (3) reduce wear and tear on infrastructure; (4) map the risk of contamination due to short-lived subatmospheric or low pressures; (5) correlate break records to transient results; and (6) pre-plan maintenance on reservoirs and tanks.
Attendees represented a variety of key management, consultant, and engineering positions from major municipalities and consulting firms in the region, including SABESP, SANEPAR, PETROBRAS, CAESB, CAESA, CASAN, CESAN, CORSAN, Cia Vale do Rio Doce, and Aguas de Niteroi. Remarking on the success of the HAMMER training course, Antonio Vieira, Project Engineer for SABESP, said, "This workshop provided a powerful and easy-to-use tool to combat water hammer and was taught brilliantly by the insturctor."
"With the combination of software modeling features, training quality, and local convenience, Haestad Methods' transient modeling analysis workshop received an outstanding reception in Brazil," said Norelis Florentino, Latin American Markets Director for Haestad Methods. "Haestad's on-site training programs represent another example of the company's dedication to the Latin American market and its continuing commitment to the water industry worldwide."
