HKIE Civil Division International Conference 2012 iCiD: innovation and Creativity of infrastructure Developments for Quality Cities Development and Calibration of a Hydraulic Model for HATS Conveyance System Using InfoWorks CS Model Anil Kumar1, David Pickles2, Fergal Whyte3, HO Kai Ming Lawrence4 This paper demonstrates the application of InfoWorks CS model to simulate the hydraulic performance of HATS system. A hydraulic model for HATS Stage 1 system is developed, calibrated and validated. Challenges in calibration, limitations of InfoWorks CS and results of the modelling are discussed. In addition, a similar model for HATS Stage 2 system is also developed to facilitate the hydraulic design of the HATS Stage 2 system. Finally, the hydraulic performance of the HATS system under ultimate development scenario is simulated. Key Words: HATS, flows, roughness, InfoWorks CS, Real Time Control, calibration, model 1. INTRODUCTION To improve the water quality of the Victoria Harbour, the Harbour Area Treatment Scheme (HATS), was committed in late eighties to be implemented in stages to provide treatment for the sewage collected from the urban areas on both sides of the Harbour. The HATS Stage 1 system as shown in Figure 1 comprises the Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works (SCISTW) and 23.6 km of deep tunnels for collecting and treating sewage from Tseung Kwan O (TKO), Kwun Tong (KT), To Kwa Wan (TKW), Kwai Chung (KC), Tsing Yi (TY) and north-eastern Hong Kong Island Preliminary Treatment Works (PTWs) before discharge into the western harbour through a submarine outfall. Since its commissioning in December 2001, Stage 1 system has resulted in substantial and widespread improvements to the general water quality of the Harbour.
