NESEI

Software package NESEI
Hydraulic pipe network analysis


NESEI (NEtwork analysis Setec International) is a software package consisting of several subprograms for hydraulic simulation and analysis of water and gas supply networks.

  • System requirements

    Windows 7 to Windows 11, recommended 64 bit, main memory at least 16 Gbyte.

  • The data is managed with a SQL database (Microsoft SQL Server2014)

    The pipeline network is managed in several generations (scenarios):

    • Calibration of the computation model.
    • Current: to evaluate the performance of the actual state.
    • Extension 1 to extension x: for the development of the extension or optimization measures.

    Interfaces:

    • SHAPE Import: For comfortable transfer of GIS data by 2D polylines to the main lines (file type 3) and points (file type 1) for hydrants.
    • DWG Import: Transfer of the line route and possibly of dimension and material data, if the information is stored in different layers (e.g. 100PVC).
    • Import of GIS data via the STANET interface.
    • Import of EPANET projects.
    • Shape Export pipe network data.
    • Shape Export hydrant calculation.
  • AutoCAD or BricsCAD in the current versions can be integrated as graphic interface

    The graphical editor (CAD) is used for the administration of the supply network and for efficient input/output as well as communication with the NESEI hydraulic database. The background is the digital field map and/or an ortho- or satellite photo as well as the digital terrain model, represented by layer lines. The line thickness of the pipelines is displayed weighted by diameter and is colored differently depending on the supply area (pressure zone). The important plant components (wells, pumping stations, elevated tanks, pressure reducing valves, booster stations) are highlighted.

    • New pipelines can thus be created efficiently and existing ones can be edited quickly.
    • Graphical definition and modification of calculation parameters (open/closed valves, characteristic curves, speed and pump status, valve settings, switching points) is thus easily possible.
  • Clear presentation of results of all load cases

    Stationary calculation results are displayed by the integrated program Surfer with A4 or A3 graphics.

    • Pressure ratios are clearly displayed by isobars.
    • Flow velocities or flow rates can be displayed with the pipeline network. The flow direction is indicated by arrows.

    Daily flow calculations are represented by hydrographs for pressure and flow rate and water levels with the Timwin program.

    • Hydrants basic protection single calculation: Display of the withdrawal rate in l/min (m³/h), residual pressure at the pipe at the hydrant. Information on critical pressure at high points. All results by symbols and texts in the calculation network plan (AutoCAD or BricsCAD drawing, as *.PDF or SHAPE).
    • Hydrants object protection load case calculation: Display with sum of the withdrawal capacity with simultaneous withdrawal, freely selectable from up to 4 hydrants. Graphic with residual pressure conditions at this load in the entire zone.
  • Hydraulic length profile

    The longitudinal section with terrain profile and the pressure lines is created directly from the NESEI hydraulic database.

  • Program versions

    NESEI GK - Large compact version: compiled for 30,000 nodes or strings, single user or network version.

    NESEI KK - Small compact version: compiled for 2,000 nodes or strings, single user or network version.

    NESEI Viewer Plus Version: for comfortable query of calculation results and calculation of load cases with the existing pipe network (1st license for calculations, 2nd single workstation license corresponds to NESEI Viewer Classic).

    NESEI Viewer Classic: for comfortable query of calculation results (1 license for 2 single workstations).

Pipe network inspection and pipe location

Pipe network inspection and pipe location


The regular inspection of the pipeline network is the basis for a sustainable water supply as well as the security of supply. By means of different methods, both metallic and non-metallic pipes can be located.

As a licensed engineering office, we are authorized to carry out the technical inspection according to §134 WRG "external inspection". After the inspection, clients receive an expert, objective assessment of the condition of their drinking water supply system, summarized in a test report. On the basis of the test report, any defects can be remedied.

Our services

  • Water loss analysis

    Depending on its size and structure, water losses can occur in varying degrees in every water supply system. Water losses should be kept to a minimum for supply and safety reasons, as well as for economic, ecological and legal reasons. Therefore, operators must make  regular efforts to analyze and limit losses or to locate leaks.

  • Technical inspection of WS systems and OM manuals

    Within the technical inspections the client receives an expertise / objective assessment of the condition of his drinking water supply system, summarized in a test report. On the basis of the test report, any defects can be remedied.

    Operating and maintenance manual inlcude:

    • Documentation of maintenance and repair
    • Cartographic interface to the information station
    • Unique assignment of maintenance objects

     

  • Pipe inspections and leak detection methods

    SETEC and its experts are experienced in various methods of pipe network inspection and depending on the situation one of the following procedures is applied:

    • Correlation analysis
    • Ground microphones
    • Trace gas detection
    • Valve testing
    • TV-inspection: Pipelines from DN 50 (water and pump pressure lines) are inspected by means of TV - technology based on fiber optics.
  • Pipe location

    For the leak detection or the creation of pipe network plans the exact knowledge of the supply network is a mandatory requirement. Two different methods are used depending on the cable material:

    • Locating metallic lines using the transmission-reception method.
    • In the case of non-metallic main lines, the pig immersion method is used and in the case of house connections, reconstruction by means of a locating probe is used.

Pipe network calculations and calibration measurements

Hydraulic modelling and calibration measurements


Hydraulic pipe network calculation serves as a basis for identifying risk indicators and for increasing efficiency and optimizing the operation of water and gas supply systems with regard to renovations and expansions. The SETEC result of each pipe network calculation, the interpretation with independent consulting services, is an essential basis for decisions in any sustainable investment planning.

Due to the solid and successful approach over decades, SETEC Engineering takes over the planning guarantee for the developed measures.

Our services

  • Hydraulic model preparations

    The creation of the calculation model according to DVGW 303 includes the recording of the pipeline network on the basis of digital and/or analog data, as well as the characteristic data of the important plant components (elevated tanks, pressure increase and reduction plants, extraction and feed-in plants).

  • Flow and pressure measurements

    Through targeted sampling via hydrants or wash outs etc. significant differences in pressure and flow conditions are created for the subsequent calibration of the calculation model (water networks). For gas networks, the recording of pressure and flow conditions is carried out over a period of approximately one month. A weak and a strong load situation are evaluated.

  • Calibration hydraulic model

    Comparison calculation for the calibration of the hydraulic model: A prerequisite for the reliability of simulation calculations of a calculation model is complete and correct pipe network data. On the basis of the measurement results of the pressure and flow measurement, the calculation model is calibrated by comparing the calculation results with the measurement results (determination of material-specific roughness, proof of the correctness of the important pipe diameters and connections of the pipes. Detection of possible punctual resistances such as accidentally throttled or closed gate valves, functionality of pressure reducing valves in case of load).

  • Simulation model

    Application of the calibrated simulation model: The actual state of the supply system is evaluated by the following simulation calculations. Meaningful optimization or expansion measures can then be worked out in various scenarios by means of simulation calculations and variant comparisons. The simulation with variant comparison is used for the conceptual planning of expansion and maintenance measures and as a basis for renovation and renewal planning, also for the required reinvestment plan.

    Proposal on fire protection: Fire water from hydrants for ground and object protection.
