Case study: Saudi Arabia
Pipeline simulators show how pressure transients are causing leaks and bursts
by modelling and tracking the transients entering DMA’s from Transmission Mains
throughout Saudi Arabia. Several real-time simulators were installed throughout
Saudi Arabia, including Al-Lith and NEOM. The simulators include a proven leak
detection capability and a pipeline management function.
Pressure logging was also provided on-site to locate blockages in the pipelines
and a training simulator to help operators understand and manage the pipelines.
Any operational procedures can be tested out first on the Digital Twin to show the
pressure transients (surge / waterhammer) caused by an operational change to give
true confidence to operators.

Case study: Dubai Water Supply Network
VariSim Delta is powered by
VariSim which is a unique
industry leading, real-time
simulator is installed in the
Dubai Water Control Centre
and includes the complete
water distribution network
of Dubai.
It is driven by hundreds
of pressure and flow
sensors across the city
which update every four
seconds to give a highly
accurate picture of the
live operation of the
network in the SCADA
control room. It is quite
simply the most advanced
real-time water network
simulator in the world.
The hydraulic simulator
shows the pressure, flow,
valve position and control
system status at every
point in the water supply
network throughout Dubai.
The DEWA Hydraulic
Management System (HMS)
includes all control systems
and is used for many
different functions,
including water balancing ,
event replay and training .
The data flow from the
pipelines, reservoirs and
treatment plants into the
control centre is truly
impressive. Around one
million data points are
processed by the
VariSim hydraulic
simulator every minute
and this does not include
any high-speed pressure
transient data.
