The entire circulating water system was modeled in Datacor Fathom. Dalton Sivils, mechanical engineer at Kiewit Power Engineers, moved the Datacor Fathom model to Datacor Impulse for the transient analysis. His purpose was to evaluate different pump trip scenarios to (1) ensure a large transient event would not occur, and (2) that major equipment, pipes, and valves were designed and positioned to withstand normal, small transient events. His model was well laid out with color coded pipes and contained 46 scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He noted that the best part of Datacor Impulse is the ability to create a graph along a flow path, showing the location of each piece of equipment and where the largest pressure spikes are located. This gave him a high degree of confidence that the equipment design was sufficient for a given transient event.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/flumen.clients.cake.fm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/CS_Impulse_KiewitConstruction_26_02.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the article<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Woodbridge Energy Center is a combined cycle, natural gas power plant estimated to produce 725MW for the city of Woodbridge, New Jersey.
