Planning Manager
Mika Kuronen
In planning, you need to consider a wide range of factors to make the right choices. But every variable adds a level of complexity and eventually, you will be lost in this vast information. You can get around this by using fit-for-purpose comprehensive and customizable tools to analyze and visualize the information. With Fluidit software, you can have all the components of your model in one software and still be able to see what is relevant and what is not. That’s the real power of modern modelling tools in planning! Here at Fluidit, our team uses the Fluidit software every day and that’s how you get the right tools for the right job!
Here are some of the services we are especially proud to be able to offer:
– Smart control system design: to plan a truly smart network, you need to integrate control algorithm design with hydraulic network modelling. This enables an iterative process that goes through the cycles quickly – testing control strategies and getting feedback from the model instantly.
– High-quality energy-efficiency analysis: approached at a scale of the whole system, an energy balance tells us how energy flows into and out of the network. Combined with advanced pump analysis this gives us a powerful tool to minimize energy consumption – or in other words, carbon footprint and money.
– Rapid emergency support: with fast-to-use tools we can offer our customers rapid, even real-time, simulation results.
We have been requested to support authorities in several water contamination crises by promptly simulating contaminated areas and planning chloride spreading during on-going crises. We can assist by updating the modelling results and plans on an hourly basis as the crisis evolves and more information becomes available. This is the stuff where human lives can be saved with quick-response and collaborative planning!

Mänttä multiutility services it’s customers with district heating, water and waste water services. Multiutility wanted state-of-the-art modelling software for all the distribution system types with common, easily approachable interface. They wanted to model their networks and gain deeper understanding of its functionality and improvement needs.

Sitowise is a specialist consulting company with 1,300 personnel that provides its customers the full range of built environment services from planning to expert and digital services under the same roof. Fluidit Sewer and Fluidit Water software has enabled Sitowise to bring more detailed analysis with less amount of time to their utility and municipality customers.

"Grundfos works together with Fluidit Ltd in Finland with water utilities to facilitate the best of both worlds – the modelling capabilities and the hardware in the water networks. For us, Fluidit delivers valuable insights and analytic skills together with a detailed understanding of the water networks. At the same time, Fluidit staff are highly skilled and very professional to work with."

"Fluidit Ltd. delivered free-to-use modelling software for water and wastewater networks to the students and researchers of Water and Environmental Engineering in Aalto University. In addition, their specialists teach our students with the software to understand the operation and behavior of water and wastewater systems. Fluidit Ltd. has actively been leading the whole water service industry into more intelligent direction with their research-oriented approach."
Professor Riku Vahala, Aalto University, Water and wastewater engineering

"Using Fluidit's model-based analysis of our water distribution system, we have been able to get an overall picture of our system's operation and have identified the most energy-efficient measures. We will continue to rely on their services through modeling, for example in contingency planning and in possible special circumstances."
Risto Bergbacka, CEO, Vesikolmio

"We have been working with Fluidit in regards of analyzing water and wastewater networks. We are using their software and expertise on various design tasks and to gain information for operation. We want to make decisions based on knowledge, and that’s exactly what deep analysis of network systems provides us."
