Hydro International is committed to a policy of continuous product development.
Our products are the best the market has to offer and our research and evaluation methods ensure that site-specific solutions set the standards.

To ensure that research outputs are of the highest quality, Hydro International utilises state-of-the-art testing technology and analytical techniques both in-house and through independent centres of excellence.

Hydro International understands the importance and benefits of utilising external testing resources that allow our products to be independently assessed under actual field conditions, working closely with the following entities:

- Research / Academic Institutions.

- Regulatory Agencies.

- Consulting Engineers.

- Councils / Municipalities.

Part of the Group's development strategy involves harnessing the immense untapped knowledge potential in Universities through the formation of collaborative links.

In addition to field testing and external validation, Hydro International operates two dedicated Research and Development Centres with well equipped laboratories in the UK and US.

Hydro International's advanced testing facility in Portland, Maine in the US allows full-scale testing to be performed under controlled conditions. The UK facility includes a number of hydraulic test apparatuses, including a purpose designed flow regulator test facility.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

In recent years, Hydro International has developed considerable expertise in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. This ability to mathematically model flow fields and assess device characteristics is enabling rapid prototyping, thereby shortening product development cycles, and improving the quality of outputs.
