The trial and error process to define the diameter of each pipe section in the water network is automatically made according to two criteria: constant velocity or from a maximum velocities table for each possible diameter.

You can create the System Head Curve by considering up to two supply points, which allows you to determine the water network’s required piezometric head for storage tanks or water pumping stations.

Aqueductos offers you the tools to perform the calculation of the equalization volume of Water Distribution Storage Tanks. Just enter the values of the affluent and effluent curves, and you will obtain the required capacity in seconds.

The quantities of work: earth movement, placement of pipeline, as well as the list of materials of the network are automatically calculated in the software, making it possible to generate an estimate of the total construction cost.

To include in the hydraulic calculations the head losses generated by networks’ fittings, you can choose between two methods included in the software: increase in the actual pipe length by a percentage or through the localized loss coefficients of fittings.

Creating altimetric references in your Aqueductos project, either drawing them or importing them from drawing or MS Excel files, you can obtain the ground elevations for nodes and pipe sections longitudinal profiles with the click of a button.

At all times you will be working on the plan view of the network, with the necessary text annotations to reflect the results of the design. You can generate the annotated longitudinal profiles, even indicating the intersections with other services.
