Attenuation is calculated at every manhole resulting in a solution, which is more cost-effective than simply adding the inflow peaks together.

Full network analysis and design with connection modelling, which calculates inflows, attenuation, stormwater infiltration, pipe sizes, levels, slopes and trench excavation quantities.

Foul water connection and network analysis
Property connection analysis using minimum ground level
Unit inflows with multiple peak flow formulae
Dynamic time simulation with multiple inflow hydrographs
Pump stations with up to 4 pumps with various controls
Calculates optimal culvert size, slope, inlet and outlet levels
Pressure flow analysis for surcharged systems
Calculates trench volumes, pipe lengths and manhole depths
Generates layout plan with pipe schedule and long sections
Accurate 3D rendering of node structures
Analyses flow, overflow, capacity, velocity and flow depth

The module gives you complete control to tailor the design to your own requirements or that of the local authorities or councils.

The surface drainage (stormwater) module is a comprehensive runoff calculation, drainage infrastructure design and analysis software program. It will calculate catchment runoff, culvert flows, overflows, routing and detention storage through user-defined ponds. It also calculates culvert sizes, invert levels and slopes and supports the Illudus, Rational, Wallingford and SWMM runoff models.

Supports Illudas, Rational, Wallingford and SWMM models
Simulate dual runoffs with partial flow capture and overflows
Provision for detention storage at inlets
Graphically define catchment areas with attributes from DTM
Attenuate runoff by means of detailed reservoir routing
Analyses flow, overflow, capacity, velocity and flow depth
Calculates optimal culvert size, slope, inlet and outlet levels
Calculates trench volumes, pipe lengths and manhole depths
Generates layout plan with pipe schedule and long sections
IH124 or FEH runoff calculation methodology
Hydraulic routing by Continuity Equation or Time Shift method

Analysis of fluid handling networks has never been easier

This module includes items such as reservoirs, pressure release chambers, pump stations with multiple pumps, valves and all pipe types that are fully editable and can link to external consumption data tables. Water losses can be determined based on a number of factors.

Demand patterns for large cities, villages & rural communities
Water loss analysis and consumption databases
Variable peak factor and PRP consumption analysis
Link external data tables such as consumption & tariff details
Borehole hydraulic modeling and water quality analysis

CHOOSE A PACKAGE AND LICENSE CONFIGURATION THAT SUIT YOU

Civil Designer Enterprise Suite

The Complete Civil Infrastructure Design Software Platform

The Enterprise Suite gives you all the Civil Designer modules as a rental package. The modules included in the same installation are Design Centre, Survey & Terrain, Roads, Water, Storm, Sewer, Turn, CAD Pro and BIM (IFC) Export.

The license gives you access to our Support Centre for as long as the rental term you purchase. Our support service includes technical support via telephone, email, video and team viewer. You are also able to take advantage of current software upgrades.

We will gladly discuss your module requirements, offer recommendations and provide a quotation according to your specific needs.

The Network License

Save money & time by customising your unique design plan. The most cost-effective way forward

By sharing modules within your design team, according to your current project demands, you benefit from a significant cost saving.

You only require additional Design Centre licenses for additional users who can then share the other modules where they are not simultaneously required.

We will gladly discuss your module requirements, offer recommendations and provide a quotation according to your specific needs.
