Key Responsibilities:

1. Hydraulic System Design:

   • Design and analyze hydraulic systems for pipelines, pumping stations, and water distribution networks.

   • Perform surge analysis and water hammer studies to ensure system safety and reliability.

2. Surge Analysis & Mitigation:

   • Conduct transient hydraulic analysis using advanced software tools (e.g., Surge 2000, Bentley Hammer, or similar).

   • Develop and implement surge protection strategies, including surge tanks, control valves, and pressure relief devices.

3. Air Valve Selection:

   • Evaluate and select appropriate air valves (e.g., air release, vacuum break, combination valves) for various hydraulic systems.

   • Perform calculations for optimal placement and sizing of air valves to prevent vacuum conditions and pipeline collapse.

4. Pipeline Design Optimization:

   • Optimize pipeline routes, materials, and diameters based on hydraulic modeling and cost analysis.

   • Ensure designs adhere to industry standards and regulatory requirements (e.g., AWWA, BIS, or ISO).

5. Collaboration with Teams:

   • Work closely with project managers, structural engineers, and construction teams to integrate hydraulic design solutions into broader infrastructure projects.

   • Participate in design reviews and provide technical support during project execution.

6. Technical Documentation:

   • Prepare detailed design reports, calculations, and technical specifications.

   • Develop operation and maintenance guidelines for hydraulic systems, focusing on surge protection and valve operation.

7. Compliance and Innovation:

   • Ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and quality standards.

   • Explore innovative technologies and methodologies to enhance hydraulic system efficiency and sustainability.
