The Innovation Transforming Hydraulic Engineering
IdroAM integrates industrial research and applied engineering to develop cutting-edge hydraulic and environmental solutions. Our approach combines advanced modelling, predictive data analytics and IoT technologies to address the most complex challenges in water, urban and infrastructure management.
Through established collaborations with universities and international research centres, we translate scientific evidence into practical, safe and effective tools, generating tangible value for our clients and the territory.
Innovation
Our Areas of Innovation
1
Advanced Hydraulic Modelling and Digital Twins
We use 1D/2D/3D hydrodynamic simulation software (HEC-RAS, InfoWorks, Mike, Flow 3D) integrated with high-resolution data from LiDAR surveys and drones. This combination enables us to create Digital Twins of the territory to forecast extreme scenarios and optimise retention basins, reservoirs and bank protection works with exceptional precision.
2
Data Science and Predictive Algorithms
We apply machine learning techniques and proprietary algorithms to turn data into strategic decisions:
- Predictive analysis of hydraulic risk and flood events.
- Intelligent monitoring of water and sewer networks for early detection of critical issues.
- Energy efficiency and preventive maintenance optimisation through flow analysis.
3
IoT, Sensors and Remote Monitoring
The integration of IoT sensors and high-precision instrumentation enables continuous, real-time monitoring of infrastructure. This data stream feeds our models, allowing timely interventions and dynamic management of water resources.
4
Intellectual Property and Industrial Processes
IdroAM's R&D activity has led to the filing of 2 applied patents in the hydraulic sector. These original solutions, born from the synthesis of field experience and scientific rigour, improve the durability and performance of hydraulic works in critical environments.
