Challenge	The state government of Uttar Pradesh, India, initiated a project to develop a piped water system to ensure equal distribution of treated water to all 128 villages in the Marihan Block in Mirzapur. The project was aimed at improving the quality of life for the 300,000 residents and the many visitors to the significant Hindu temple, Vindhyachal Dham. ATLC Infraconsultants Pvt. Ltd. was contracted to design the project, which needed to continue operations and accommodate population growth through at least 2053, as well as meet state regulations. The project required augmenting the existing water treatment plant, a new pumping station at the water treatment plant, four additional water pumping stations, and 12 service reservoirs, as well as the many kilometers of transmission and distribution mains and house connections with water meters. The design team faced challenges in obtaining a comprehensive view of the undulating topography, which varied in height by as much as 140 meters, and providing alternate route alignment suggestions. They also struggled to analyze the effects of design changes on water pressure and meet the required 90-day deadline with the older tools they were using. Read More
About Customer	ATLC Infraconsultants Pvt.

Solution	ATLC Infraconsultants Pvt. Ltd. decided to use OpenFlows WaterGEMS and STAAD to seamlessly design the network and undertake hydraulic analysis. The detailed hydraulic analysis revealed the exact state of the water table, which helped them determine where assets would need to be built and how to ensure clean water. Using OpenFlows WaterGEMS, the design team incorporated the site data and performed updated hydraulic analysis as needed to optimize the designs, ensuring their safety and reliability. This analysis included a complete evaluation of the water supply, pressure zoning for equalized distribution, and a determination of the most effective distribution to household connections. With STAAD, ATLC optimized the structural designs of intake wells, elevated service reservoirs, and water treatment plants. They built a digital twin of the entire work area that clearly visualized the scope and details of the project, helping them share their work with project stakeholders.

Impact #1	The use of OpenFlows WaterGEMS and STAAD allowed ATLC Infraconsultants Pvt. Ltd. to design a safe and efficient water network. The detailed hydraulic analysis provided a clear understanding of the water table, which informed the placement of assets and ensured the provision of clean water. The design team was able to incorporate site data and perform updated hydraulic analysis as needed to optimize the designs, ensuring their safety and reliability. The use of these applications also facilitated the creation of a digital twin of the entire work area, which clearly visualized the scope and details of the project, aiding in stakeholder communication. The recently completed water system now provides safe, reliable service to over 36,000 households, greatly improving their standard of living and the state’s economy.
