Hydraulic modeling offers a sophisticated approach to simulate and analyze the behavior of water distribution and wastewater collection systems under various conditions. Our engineers help planners anticipate future demands, optimize system performance, mitigate risks associated with inflow and infiltration, forecast capacity constraints, and estimate the remaining lifespan of aging infrastructure. By leveraging advanced modeling techniques, you can develop robust strategies that ensure sustainable water management, enhance service reliability, and support long-term infrastructure resilience.   86 municipalities assisted in the last ten years ##  **Allow us to Analyze and Refine the Performance of Your Water Systems **  At RJN, we use hydrologic and hydraulic modeling applications to design, analyze, and optimize [water distribution](https://www.rjn.com/clean-water), [wastewater](https://www.rjn.com/wastewater), and [stormwater](https://www.rjn.com/stormwater) collection systems to assess capacity, performance, and operational efficiency under various conditions and design storm scenarios. By choosing RJN, you get a trusted partner who can illuminate your underground infrastructure. We develop long-term solutions with our clients and deepen our understanding of crucial water distribution and collection systems, so they serve the community long into the future.  ## ** Inform **Infrastructure Decision-making ### **Our advanced technical expertise**  helps utilities and municipalities nimbly forecast their utility needs. When our engineers weigh alternatives, we look at multiple angles: cost, water usage, ease of maintenance, constructability, and phased implementation. Through modeling improvements and vetting [design solutions](https://www.rjn.com/design-services), we refine plans to the most efficient and viable option within budget constraints. ### Regulatory Compliance Goals change over time and greatly depend upon the resiliency of existing systems. A fundamental aspect of the water utility systems planning process is ensuring that all development activities comply with relevant [regulations and standards](https://www.rjn.com/blog/lrwra-case-study) and achieve the targeted level of protection required by state and federal environmental agencies.   ## **Nuanced Modeling **for Water, Stormwater, and Wastewater Networks **Forecast capacity and weigh alternatives with confidence;  **RJN believes in the power of clear and effective communication, bringing together the big picture for decision-makers. With clear communication and evidence-based conversations, our team distills advanced model outputs into clear and cost-effective next steps. **Risk Assessment and Mitigation Recommendations **are derived from analyzing model results, weighing threats and existing conditions, and evaluating operational constraints. These key elements are part of developing [solid design](https://www.rjn.com/design-services) alternatives and prioritized [capital improvement plans](https://www.rjn.com/masterplanning). RJN's infrastructure risk analyses include providing opinions on construction costs and effectiveness of design alternatives.   ### **How can we help you?** Tell us about your project ## Our Modeling Success Stories Case Study, Awards, Sewers [Case Study: Transforming Joliet: The Path to Sewer System Excellence](https://www.rjn.com/blog/transforming-joliet) 174,903 LF rehabilitation and interceptor designed 2,136,963 LF CCTV reviewed Flow Monitoring, Planning, Condition Assessment, Capacity Analysis [Sewer Evaluation and Capacity Assurance Planning Minimizes SSOs](https://www.rjn.com/experience/secap-plan-case-study) <3 SSO per 100 miles achieved Sewers, Inflow/Infiltration, Wastewater, Planning, Capacity Analysis, Hydraulic Modeling [A Model Approach: Accurate RDII Modeling with Antecedent Moisture](https://www.rjn.com/blog/a-model-approach-accurate-rdii-modeling-with-antecedent-moisture)   ### Who We Are ![icon-people-circ](https://www.rjn.com/hubfs/icon-people-circ.svg) [ Download PDF ](https://www.rjn.com/hubfs/Wastewater%20Services%20Brochures/General%20Brochure.pdf) ### Powerful Analytics with Clarity ![icon-analytics-circ](https://www.rjn.com/hubfs/icon-analytics-circ.svg) [ Download PDF ](https://www.rjn.com/hubfs/Wastewater%20Services%20Brochures/Clarity%20Sell%20Sheet.pdf)
