Following a successful framework bid in 2022, HydroCo & Shareridge formed a partnership to build hydraulic models on behalf of Uisce Eireann (Irish Water).
We are thrilled to announce that HydroCo and Shareridge have successfully delivered our first two hydraulic model build projects to Uisce Eireann. The feedback from the modelling team and local authority has been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting both models’ conformity, accuracy and ability to identify hydraulic anomalies.
The Ennis and Limerick Environs (Ardnacrusha) models should provide valuable insight into the operation of these systems, offering a holistic approach to system management, encompassing design, planning, performance evaluation, risk management, resource conservation, cost savings, and decision support.
A pivotal goal in constructing these models was to empower Uisce Eireann with the capability to evaluate pressure management schemes. This strategic optimisation of network configurations aims to achieve substantial leakage reduction, thereby enhancing water loss management and promoting resource conservation.
Our gratitude goes out to all stakeholders, particularly the dedicated operational personnel within Clare County Council, for their unwavering support throughout these challenging projects.
The synergy between HydroCo and Shareridge has been instrumental in the success of these projects. By combining HydroCo’s technical hydraulic modelling expertise with Shareridge’s proficiency in project management and field survey capabilities, we have not only delivered exceptional results but also bridged cultural divides.
Looking ahead, HydroCo and Shareridge are excited to continue our collaboration on six more hydraulic network model build projects across the South of Ireland. The models cover the city of Limerick, Waterford, Gory and South Regional areas in county Wexford and New and Old Doolough systems in West Clare.
Together, we remain committed to providing Uisce Eireann with high-quality, cost-effective modelling tools for sustainable water management.
