Features

Sustainable and traditional design

Create designs for traditional and sustainable drainage (SuDS), with tailored reports for compliance

Digital twins for drainage design

See the accurate-to-reality extent of a pond, how the underdrain connects swales, and the exact lengths of pipes as designed

Civil 3D integration

Update pipe networks and surfaces to maintain 3D models for BIM compliance with integrated data exchange with round-tripping support in Civil 3D

Analyze flows and flooding

Use built-in detailed hydraulic analysis for pipes, manholes, storage, and green infrastructure to reduce the risk of flooding downstream

Templated designs

Speed up the design process with easy drag-and-drop templates set up to meet regulatory compliance

Validate mistakes rapidly

Use validation to quickly spot highlighted errors and read warnings, with potential solutions proposed

"All that work you've already done in CAD, building pipe networks and catchments...you can pull that directly out of InfoDrainage and into the model, and that saves an astronomical amount of time."

— Jess Ewing, Project Manager, VHB

"We were able to put the surface model into InfoDrainage, set the parameters of the deluge, and it told us exactly what we needed."

— Michael Clark, Director of Field Engineering, Rogers O'Brien

"InfoDrainages graphical profiles made getting customer buy-in and approval way easier."

— Andrew Carrier, Project Engineer, Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson
