Hydraulic models and laboratory testing of complex piping systems and new or re-furbished hydraulic structures can improve the design by making them safer, more efficient, and more economical to build and maintain. This claim is based on nine dam spillway model studies over a 37 year period for one client which confirmed that modeling result in a better finished product, and at a significant cost savings.
