Hydraulic models and laboratory testing should be included as part of the design process to ensure that complex piping systems, valve structures, pump installations and new or re-furbished hydraulic structures are safe, efficient, and economical, with low maintenance costs. The physical model study will not only result in a better finished product, but will usually result in net cost savings. This claim is based on our experience with model studies of nine dam spillway over a 37 year period for one client. That client found that our model studies resulted in an average project cost savings of almost 10 times the cost of the model study.
