Mapping and Hydraulic Modelling of Gaziantep Water Supply Network

  • Financing : Equity Capital
  • Service : Reducing Non-Revenue Water
  • Employer : General Directorate of Gaziantep Water and Sewerage Administration - GASKİ
  • Project Duration : 2011 - 2016

Services are being provided for;

  • Identification and mapping of pipes and armatures for 2300 km water supply network with diameters ranging from Ø1400 mm toØ80 mm
  • GIS establishment within GASKI, transferring of network map to GIS environment
  • Calibrated Hydraulic modeling with the help of SCADA system records and 'pilot' area studies
  • Identification of pressure zones and creating DMAs for loss/leakage reduction, and identification of priority investments
  • After hydraulic modeling works, with respect to resulting outcomes of the DMA’s 300km. detailed design of water supply network rehabilitation projects are prepared for GASKİ.
  • Pipes on the field are detected with utility locators and Geo radars.
  • Detected pipes are digitized accurately and mapped in accordance with the GIS of the administration.
  • With the data collected from the field, pressure zones are rehabilitated.
  • With the digitized GIS data, hydraulic models of the network are formed and DMAs are defined for the whole network
  • DMAs are defined according to the newest legal regulations that aim to minimize leakage
  • Pressure and flow measurements are carried out on various locations of the network to perform a basic calibration study.
  • SCADA measurements and customer database are integrated to calculate an annual water budget according to the AWWA Standards.
