InfoSewer can design either new or existing networks. Here is an example of how it updates pipe sizes based on the results of an EPS simulation and d/D constraints. The d/D for the two upstream gravity mains goes to 1 in the existing EPS simulation (Figure 1) and the velocity exceeds 10 ft/sec in the same two gravity mains (Figure 2). We are going to use InfoSewer Design for an Existing system and resize the pipe sizes so that the maximum d/D is 0.80 and the velocity is between 1 and 6 feet/sec (Figure 3). The design reports the needed new pipe diameters and cost (Figure 4) and then when the new pipe diameters are used in a new EPS solution the constraints for d/D are met and all pipes have a d/D value less than 0.80 (Figure 5).

Figure 5. After applying the new pipe diameters of 24 and 30 inches, respectively the d/D values do not exceed 0.80.
