Supplying the water industry
with software for engineering analysis, modelling and simulation of
hydraulic performance, drinking water quality,
fluid transients, surges, water-hammer,
system control and fire flows
in water supply systems.

Our Products

HCP supplies two software solutions to the drinking water industry and provides development, customer support and training.

WATSYS TM
WaterMax TM

WATHAM TM

Simulate the transient behaviour of water supply distribution networks.

A specialised tool for most enclosed pipe hydraulic installations you are likely to meet in practice.  More ...

Our real time simulation product is marketed under the name WaterMax in the United States of America and the name  WATSYS in Australia and other parts of the world.

Our Company

HCP Software Pty Ltd provides simulation software to the drinking water industry.  Our mission is to help water utilities and engineering consultants understand the operation of drinking water systems through the use of software that can simulate contemporary challenges.

HCP Software Pty Ltd is a partnership between Hydraulic Computer Programming Pty Ltd and jClem Consulting Pty Ltd. 

  • Since 1980 Hydraulic Computer Programming has provided the industry with real-time network simulation and transient analysis software.
  • jClem Consulting is an engineering consultancy specialising in water systems engineering, simulation and software development.
  • Our Directors have worked together informally on software development since 1985.

Based in Australia, HCP coordinates its activities from Perth, Western Australia.  Our software products are developed and supported by engineers and scientists with extensive backgrounds in water industry engineering, science and mathematical techniques. 

Our Directors

"We are engineers  We understand what water network simulation software needs to achieve in the business.  We have worked in a planning office; a design team; and a water utility's control centre.      We have worked where you work today."

Both directors have more than twenty years experience in the water industry.  Max Olde provides expertise on real-time and transient simulation algorithms.  Chris Vigus focuses on water utility planning and operations, user interfaces and databases.
