Why the Hard Sell?
![Page 3: Selling the Benefits of Hydraulic Modelling to Management.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d145503460f949e8add/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why the Hard Sell?
• Hydraulic Modelling is an Important Planning Tool;
• Provides understanding of Asset Performance;
• Can save thousands on Capital Expenditure by ensuring that proposed works achieve design objectives; and
• Allows the most cost effective solutions to be developed.

So What Scares Management?
![Page 5: Selling the Benefits of Hydraulic Modelling to Management.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d145503460f949e8add/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
So What Scares Management?
• Hydraulic modelling requires managers to commit significant expenditure for an unknown return;
• Modellers can sometimes over-analyse things;
• Modellers are viewed as boffins who must always have the latest technology to play with.

Tools not Toys!

Tools not Toys!
• Models are part of an overall Asset Management Strategy;
• Models are digital representations of real systems;
• Modelling must have a clear objectives; and
• Need to promote how the completed models will be used to better manage hydraulic systems.

Asset Management Tools
• Asset Register;
• Maintenance Management System;
• GIS;
• SCADA; and
• Hydraulic Models:- to be able to analyse system performance and propose solutions
to system deficiencies.

Digital Representations of Real Systems

Digital Representations of Real Systems
• Modelling is an engineering exercise;
• Target Young Staff who have fresh minds;
• Experienced Engineers can help with reality checks;
• Need to consult widely with system operators.

Objectives of Model Development
![Page 13: Selling the Benefits of Hydraulic Modelling to Management.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d145503460f949e8add/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Objectives of Model Development
• Design Tool for Major Capital Works Projects;
• Provide Understanding of System Liabilities;
• Planning for future growth;
• System optimisation;
Models need to be built to suit the desired objectives

What is the Model For?
![Page 15: Selling the Benefits of Hydraulic Modelling to Management.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d145503460f949e8add/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What is the Model For?
• The Value of Modelling is not in the Model itself;
• The Value of Modelling is in how the models are used;
• Modelling Proposals must focus on what the models will be used for.

Publicise the Benefits of Modelling

Publicise the Benefits of Modelling
• Models can and do save millions in capital works;
• Where this has occurred, make sure that people know about it;
• Don’t be backward in coming forward!

Tatura Water Main Augmentation Example
• Need to augment supply capacity to TMI
• Strategy to augment supply along Service St
•2 sections of Hogan St Main previously upgraded
• 12 Months later Council announces partial reconstruction of Hogan St.
• Service St Water Main no longer required
•Council will pay for bulk of the cost associated with main replacement.
• Water Authority pays for larger pipe size.
•Remaining section of Hogan St Main to be upgraded at a later date.
• Capital Cost saving of over $3M.

Selling Models to Management
![Page 20: Selling the Benefits of Hydraulic Modelling to Management.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d145503460f949e8add/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Selling Modelling to Management
• Promote Modelling as a key component of an overall asset management plan;
• Detail what you expect to achieve from hydraulic modelling;
• Document how the modelling tools you intend to develop will be used to meet the desired objectives;
• Celebrate Savings Attributable to Modelling
