Case Study: Hatch Mott MacDonald improves dry fire line hydraulic analysis with Datacor Fathom

Hatch Mott MacDonald streamlines dry fire line modeling with Datacor Fathom for transit tunnels

Hatch Mott MacDonald, a consulting engineering firm, faced the challenge of designing a complex Dry Fire Line (DFL) piping system for new transit tunnels in Toronto. The system required meticulous hydraulic analysis to meet strict safety standards, and the firm needed reliable software to model pressure drops and flow rates accurately. They turned to vendor Datacor and utilized its Fathom software for this critical pipe flow modeling.

Datacor's Fathom software provided a robust and flexible solution, allowing Hatch Mott MacDonald to create detailed hydraulic models, test preliminary designs, and easily adjust scenarios. The implementation saved significant time by limiting manual calculations and provided trustworthy, transparent results. The vendor's software enabled the creation of presentable models and reliable designs, which was crucial for the firm's reputation.
