Performing fire flow analysis in InfoWorks WS Pro

Module overview

In InfoWorks WS Pro, users can simulate fire flow availability, hydrant testing, and forced fire flow. Fire flow analyses are an integral part of water supply modelling to ensure that adequate flow and pressure is available for firefighting compliance, and to ensure hydrants can supply enough water and pressure during emergencies.

After completing, you'll be able to:

• Understand how InfoWorks WS Pro models fire flow, to ensure adequate flow and pressure during emergency situations.
• Run a fire flow availability simulation and test hydrants for compliance.
• Perform a forced fire flow simulation in order to locate points of failure in the system.

Note that you must be running v2024.0 (or newer) of InfoWorks WS Pro in order to use the dataset and follow along with the tutorials.
