Solutions to Water Hammer Problems: FHCS will provide complete solutions to water hammer problems for various pipeline systems. The solutions provided include developing transient models using the well known Pipe2006 software, simulating various transient generating events and their effects on the pipeline systems and their components, providing reliable and cost effective solutions to minimize the effects of high and low transient pressures. The close association of FHCS with some of the well known manufacturers of surge protection equipment makes the solutions more reliable (access to their proprietary data) and attractive (cost effective). The following are some of the popular areas where FHCS can help you with solutions to water hammer problems.

• Lift Irrigation Pipelines
• Water Transmission Pipelines
• Sanitary Sewer Force Mains
• Water Distribution Systems
• Irrigation Piping Systems
• Fire Protection Sprinkler Systems – tall building, warehouses, aircraft hangers, ships etc.
• Oil pipelines

Water Distribution Networks
FHCS can provide reliable and cost effective solutions to your distribution network problems. If you are thinking of migrating to continuous water supply systems from intermittent supply system, you should contact FHCS as we understand both worlds equally well and can offer efficient solutions. Having a reliable computer model for your water distribution system would help you eliminate trail and error design and operational solutions. Continuous water supply systems: Model development, calibration, study of what-if scenarios, water quality calibration and modeling, pump and storage sizing etc.

• Intermittent water supply systems (common in developing countries): Design of transmission network including pipes, pumps and storage tanks; distribution system models; optimal operational controls and control devices such as flow and pressure control valves, air and vacuum relief valves etc.
• Rural water supply systems (specific to many regions of United States): Design of rural water supply systems based on peak demand diversity curves etc.

Design of Industrial Piping Systems FHSC can help you design industrial piping systems and provide guidance on optimal operational controls for efficient and cost effective operations.
Analysis and design of oil and gas pipeline systems
FHCS employs the powerful Pipe2006 program to create models for your oil and gas transmission and distribution systems. Powerful computer models such those created and calibrated using Pipe2006 program will allow significant cost savings during design as well as operational stages and eliminate the need for trial and error solutions to critical operational issues. In addition, FHCS can provide solutions to complex transient pressure problems arising in oil transmission pipelines.

• Oil transmission mains
• Oil distribution systems
• Gas transmission mains
• Gas distribution systems
• Gas collection systems, such as those used for collecting gas from waste disposal landfills.

Steam distribution system modeling
FHCS can help engineers designing steam distribution systems for large establishments such as university campuses in cold regions and industrial complexes. FHCS employs the state of the module called Steam2000 of the Pipe2006 family of software for this purpose. Steam2000 can handle very large looped pipe networks with multiple compressors, pressure reducing valves and multiple sources. Steam2000 is so versatile it can handle both saturated and superheated steam with ease and provides information on pipe heat losses, available super heat in various regions, node temperatures in a very user friendly graphical format directly overlaid on the network schematic. Steam2000 employs the latest IAPWS97 steam tables.
Surface water hydraulics and hydrology:
FHCS can provide state of the art modeling solutions to surface water hydraulics and hydrology problems using the HEC-RAS and HEC-HMS packages eliminating the need for expensive and time consuming physical models.
