Just in time for the Christmas-New Year close Urban Water Solutions have completed the move into their new office at Level 1, 8 Gipps Street Collingwood.

With ample space for our growing team of modelling specialists the new office is located just around the corner from our old office.

While undertaking a recent modelling study Kiara undertook a sensitivity analysis comparing the use of the Ground Infiltration Model (GIM) and Fixed Runoff hydrology models within InfoWorks ICM to achieve calibration.

The flow data recorded indicated that there was a slower infiltration process occurring in the sewer, however as the GIM could only be calibrated to a small recurrence interval event there was little confidence in its ability to predict infiltration from the 5year design storm without further calibration.

The presentation discussed the theory behind the GIM, how it was applied for this project and why it was ultimately not adopted.
