Fluid networks

Industry uses a wide variety of liquid products, requiring the construction of multiple fluid networks on any given site. Sogreah is one of very few companies with expertise in test platforms and advanced numerical tools for simulating fluid mechanics (water hammer, unsteady flow conditions, regulation, etc.), which we use to optimise and ensure the safety of fluid networks of all kinds (corrosive and acidic products, fire-fighting networks, pipelines, pipe passages through critical areas, etc.) and implement original techniques for transporting aqueous materials (mine pipelines).
