Water Hammer and Surge Analysis Services

Protecting piping systems from transient pressure surges through simulation-led design and mitigation strategies

Through industry-leading water hammer and surge analysis using AFT Impulse and other transient tools, ENA2 supports clients in predicting, evaluating, and mitigating pressure transients in liquid-filled piping systems. Our services cover pump startups and shutdowns, valve closures, emergency trips, and control logic failures across oil & gas, water distribution, power generation, and industrial facilities. We analyze surge pressures, check valve slam, column separation, and system resonance to ensure safe and resilient operation.

Water Hammer and Surge Analysis

At ENA2, we specialize in Water Hammering and Surge Analysis using cutting-edge tools like AFT Impulse, combined with our deep expertise in fluid dynamics. Our engineers model complex pressure surges caused by rapid valve closures or pump operations, preventing potential pipe fatigue and system failure. By identifying risks early and designing effective solutions, we deliver cost-efficient results, reducing the need for costly physical testing.

Client Benefits

Our transient analysis services help engineers prevent catastrophic pipe failures, equipment damage, and operational disruptions caused by water hammer events. ENA2 identifies critical surge scenarios, quantifies transient pressures, and proposes mitigation measures such as surge vessels, accumulators, relief valves, and optimal valve timing. Clients benefit from improved system reliability, reduced downtime, and extended asset life. By simulating transient events before they happen, ENA2 empowers clients to make informed decisions, achieve compliance with design codes, and ensure personnel and environmental safety.
