• Is it possible to run a steady flow fire model in Hammer or do I need other software like watercad?

    I'd like to run a model with a fire water network, in order to know water flow and pressure in given nodes where are going to be installed hydrants or hoses. I've been following the instructions given at https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/Bentley…
  • Fire Flow Analysis Downstream of a Pump

    Hey Everyone, I recently ran into the problem with WaterGEMS that nodes on the downstream side of a pump do not have accurate "flows available" for the fire flow analysis results. The pumps in the model are still operating as if there isn't a fire flow…
  • Fire flow 0 LPS

    Hello, I have some questions related to the fire flow module. Why does the program set Fire Flow Available as 0 LPS? Does this depend on the need to create Pressure Zones in the model? Can the results of fire flow calculations depends on the fact…
  • Fire fighting using treated sewage effluent

    Dear All, We have some difficulty with the local civil defense authority in setting the minimum required residual pressure at fire hydrants. We are proposing the conventional 20psi or 1.4 bar value, whereas they are insisiting on having a huge…
  • Is there any difference on location of fire hydrant in the model?

    Hi, while building my model in WaterCAD a question arised. Is there a big or any difference at all if you put your fire hydrant over your main pipe or add an extra pipe coming off of your main pipe to the fire hydrant? The idea is as follows. I…
