Surge analysis

Understanding the causes and introducing prevention

At Trident our primary focus is for offering a complete technical hydraulic solution, design capabilities and operational substantial knowledge in a wide industry range of products to control, capture and monitor network performance.

Some of the biggest issues facing water companies and municipalities today are increasing demands on dwindling resources, and networks suffering from high levels of leakage and increased burst rates due to aging infrastructure. Leakage and burst are mainly caused by pressure fluctuations, transient surges, column separation, water hammer and cavitation.

We analyse and redesigns networks with an aim to reducing leakage, burst frequencies, while also reducing production and maintenance costs resulting in considerable savings for water utilities.

Electrical usage can also reduced, creating a carbon reduced, greener solution for the environment. Trident design capabilities can be applied in the clean water, wastewater, building, industrial, marine, offshore and agricultural systems.

We can help you to create a complete smart network. We want to help you to have the infrastructure that can supply water from the source to the end user with minimal service issues. If the network is failing, it does not matter how many smart sensors you have, the network is not smart enough or has the ability to operate itself. Trident, with its enhancement in network control and advanced product range, will not just deal with issues being faced today within aging infrastructures but will design changes that will improve the networks for generations to come and develop a truly smart network with a digital twin.

A significant number of UK water companies are currently utilising our capabilities or have used our expertise. Internationally Lagos Water in Nigeria have also implemented our technical design solution.

Our focus

Trident has knowledge and access to a full range of products that are designed and manufactured to the highest specifications to calm and harmonise the water and wastewater transmission & distribution systems.

With our advanced knowledge of transient, water hammer and column separation issues, we provide solutions that implement the right product to deal with all the problems faced by the your company today and that of the future.

Using our autonomous hydraulic network modelling capabilities, we work with water utilities to design their networks to stabilise pressures and thereby reducing leakage, burst frequencies and ensuring a security of supply. While also prevent water quality issues like discolouration and bacteria contamination within potable water networks and pollution events within sewage systems.

Using our solutions we can also reduce customer complaints, carbon emissions and extend the asset life of pumps, pipeline products and valves.
