DIGITAL WATER NETWORK ENGINEERING & ASSET MANAGEMENT OF DIBRUGARH WATER SUPPLY
PROJECT

Source: Bentley Systems

Project Summary

Dibrugarh, Assam, India

Outcome/Facts

 * DTK Hydronet established a connected data environment to deliver a smart
   water scheme that provides 24x7 direct access to clean drinking water to
   every household in Dibrugarh.
 * Bentley’s integrated technology facilitated digital engineering workflows
   that saved 60% in design time and 15% in inventory costs.
 * Using OpenFlows for collaborative hydraulic modeling and analysis enabled DTK
   Hydronet to complete the entire design 70 days ahead of schedule amid
   COVID-19 restrictions.

Quote

> "ProjectWise, OpenFlows WaterGEMS, and OpenFlows HAMMER are used extensively
> to ensure 24x7 supply of equitably distributed pressurized drinking water to
> the entire town of Dibrugarh for decades to come." - Devashri Karve,
> Co-founder DTK Hydronet Solutions

A Need for Adequate Water Infrastructure

Situated on the banks of the Brahmaputra River, Dibrugarh is a major city in
Assam, India, and an emerging industrial, educational, and health care center in
the region. Despite its riverside location, the town has no centralized potable
water supply facility for the 25,391 households, home to 167,733 people. Given
the unreliable, inequitable water supply and highly compromised water quality,
the government initiated a water infrastructure project to ensure adequate
distribution and 24x7 access to clean drinking water. The USD 25 million
initiative includes engineering, procurement, and construction of a
220-kilometer integrated water network. DTK Hydronet was hired as the
engineering consultant and faced coordination and engineering challenges while
working with the contractor and utility, as well as addressing non-revenue water
(NRW) concerns.

Digitalizing Conventional Engineering Practices

Hydronet wanted to implement hydraulic modeling and analysis for the entire
scheme and develop an integrated asset management platform, which would help
them meet the utility’s demands and limit NRW. However, it was impossible for
them to work with the utility’s conventional file sharing methods and conduct
hydraulic studies within the stipulated time frames. Faced with a missing
central data repository, no provision for district metered areas (DMAs), and
insufficient, manual utility processes, DTK Hydronet needed to establish an
open, connected data environment and digitalize engineering workflows and asset
management. This system would help them optimize collaboration, design, and
lifecycle operations.

Bentley Applications Provide Integrated Solution

Already familiar with Bentley applications, DTK Hydronet selected ProjectWise
and OpenFlows to develop a GIS, cloud-based platform to manage information and
perform hydraulic modeling. Using ProjectWise to host the digital asset
repository provided a single source of truth of all project data and models
accessible to DTK Hydronet, the contractor, and the utility. The platform
improved collaboration and issue resolution to keep the project on track. They
used OpenFlows WaterGEMS to develop the initial hydraulic model and generate
over 100 scenarios to improve the utility and contractor’s project
understanding. Using OpenFlows HAMMER, they conducted detailed transient and
surge analysis to safeguard the network. They integrated all asset data and
models into a comprehensive 3D utility model accessible via mobile and web-based
devices.

Digitalization Drives Savings and Sustainability

OpenFlows WaterGEMS alone saved 80% of initial model development time, compared
to previous practices. Combined with OpenFlows HAMMER, the applications saved
60% in overall design time and 15% in equipment costs. Working in a connected
data environment, DTK Hydronet completed the project in 50 days, 70 days ahead
of schedule. By performing digital dynamic pressure management analysis, they
demonstrated the effectiveness of DMAs, providing a smart water scheme that will
limit NRW to no more than 15%. Using Bentley technology, DTK Hydronet achieved a
paradigm shift in digital engineering practices, resulting in improved water
asset and risk-based management to ensure a reliable, sustainable water supply
system. This project will directly improve the standard of living of
approximately 250,000 people until at least 2050.
