PROLOGUE

Lanka Hydraulic Institute Limited (LHI) was established in 1984 by the conversion of

Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC) of the Coast Conservation

Department (Sri Lanka) into a Public Limited Liability Company in accordance with a

Cabinet decision.

LHI has expertise that encompasses technical and engineering spheres as well as a

multi-disciplinary approach to a varied project genre, gearing its thorough knowledge

of socio-economic, financial and environmental components within each process.

The premise of dealing effectively with multi-faceted projects through a wide and

varied network of expert individuals and renowned local and foreign organizations is

enhanced by LHI proudly having the best state-of-the-art Hydraulics Laboratory in the

Indian Ocean region, giving LHI the impetus to provide total solutions in the field of

hydraulics. LHI has a rigorous and comprehensive Quality Assurance system and is

ISO 9001:2008 certified.

LHI is geared to cater to International Consultants working in the region and

INFRASTRUCTURE

State-of-the-Art Hydraulic Laboratory

A wave basin of 35m (L) x 25m (W) x 0.8m (D) with four movable wave makers each 5.5m long, and three pumps capable of delivering 1.2 m3/s, alongside with all other facilities to simulate regular & irregular waves and currents;

A Two Dimensional wave flume 30m (L) x 0.8m (W) x 1.0m (D) fitted with a wave maker to produce regular or irregular waves;

Computerized data acquisition system, electronic-measuring devices such

as wave gauges, movement meters, strain gauge force meters to record model parameters, and specific driving software for model;

Standard laboratory equipment for sediment analyses; Mechanical and Electronic workshops; Special software for data acquisition; Online visual access of the basin and flume with high resolution IP cams.

An outdoor area (35m x 20m) is available for testing of inland water structures.

Advanced Numerical Simulations Unit

LHI’s Numerical Modelling facility is powered by several well known modelling software developed by DHI Water and Environment in addition to software developed in-house, and many reputed tools available in the public domain. LHI possesses the exclusive licence for DHI’s MIKE softwares and conducts a wide range of numerical model studies. LHI’s present modelling capabilities include:

MIKE 11 – rainfall/runoff model and the one-dimensional Hydrodynamic model coupled with Transport Dispersion, Sediment Transport, Urban Hydrology and Ground Water,

MIKE 21 – two-dimensional model with modules for Hydrodynamics,

Advection /Dispersion, Nearshore Waves and short waves, MIKE 12 – one-dimensional stratified Hydrodynamic and Transport

Dispersion Model, MIKE 3 – three dimensional particle / spill analysis, and LITPACK – one-dimensional Littoral Drift Simulation model.

Instruments for Field Investigations and Sample Collections

SonTek ADP System InterOcean S4DW for multiple wave parametric measurements Direct recording Current meters

Salinity and Temperature meters DGPS Positioning Systems Sediment and water sampling equipment All ancillary hydrographic and land surveying equipment.
