Economic structural optimizations

Infrastructure and civil engineering play a crucial role in the development and maintenance of economic and societal fabrics. How they are designed determines their impact on usage and operating costs, while influencing their economic sustainability.

At ALMADIUS, we attach particular importance to each stage of a project, from design to completion, through to operation.

Economic structural optimizations

Structural optimizations are systematically integrated into our internal studies. We are also able to make improvements to studies carried out by third parties, although this is too often perceived as superfluous when, in reality, these optimizations can generate substantial savings on overall costs.

Our expertise in structural optimization is limited to the civil engineering works that we master, in particular various networks, pumping stations, purification stations, hydraulic and hydroelectric works, as well as runoff water management systems.

Hydraulic structures, such as pumping stations, dams and stormwater management systems, are essential for water resource management and sustainable development. Optimizations of these infrastructures can generate significant financial savings while maintaining or even improving their operational efficiency.

Optimized Design

A thoughtful and integrated design allows us to minimise construction costs without compromising functionality. For example, by analysing specific contexts and combining construction techniques, we can optimise the dimensions of the structures. This not only reduces the materials required, but also construction times. We also ensure a balance between storage resources and production capacities. This is particularly evident in the models we have developed to optimise nominal treatment flow rates and storage volumes in order to avoid oversizing and ensure continuous operation of treatment plants.

Use of innovative materials

The use of modern, sustainable materials can provide better long-term performance. These materials, although initially more expensive, can reduce maintenance requirements and extend the life of the structures, thus generating long-term savings.

Efficient Technologies

Integrating advanced technologies, such as automated control systems, helps improve the energy efficiency of facilities. For example, intelligent pumping systems can adjust their operation in real time, minimizing energy consumption while ensuring optimal service.

Optimal Resource Management

Optimizing water management systems can prevent water losses and ensure efficient use of resources. This includes strategies to manage peak demand and solutions to recover and reuse water.

Assessment and Preventive Maintenance

Implementing preventive maintenance programs based on data analysis helps identify problems before they become costly. This extends the life of the infrastructure and avoids unforeseen expenses. In terms of hydraulic works operation, ALMADIUS can develop maintenance plans, functional analyses and other elements to streamline preventive maintenance.

Global Economic Impact

The savings from these optimizations can be significant. By reducing construction and operating costs while maintaining operational efficiency, initial investments can be quickly amortized. In addition, well-designed infrastructure promotes local economic development by improving access to water and supporting industrial activities.

In short, optimizations of hydraulic structures, when well designed, not only reduce financial costs, but also contribute to sustainable management of water resources, while ensuring the efficiency and reliability of the infrastructures.
