4019 Bentley Systems is now offering upgraded versions of its SewerGEMS, SewerCAD, CivilStorm, and StormCAD V8i products. The packages can be used for the analysis and design of wastewater and stormwater systems, featuring advanced hydraulic and operational capabilities for an increased depth of information modelling so customers can use the programs to evaluate and compare a wider range of network considerations. Simulation tools can be used to predict key issues such as flooding, and then assess the effect of alternative designs to alleviate problems.

The firm says it has streamlined the workflows, improving the creation and management of models within the products. Users can generate models faster, such as the determination of manhole rim elevations from terrain data, allowing more time to be spent on analysis and design instead of data management while additional capabilities such as SCADAConnect help users align models with real-world conditions.

SewerGEMS users can leverage SCADA systems and data loggers through SCADAConnect, supporting calibration and operational efforts. Meanwhile SewerGEMS, SewerCAD, CivilStorm, and StormCAD users can trace and display the surface water flow direction across any terrain, ensuring proper location of inlets and other drainage infrastructure. They can also import MX drainage files, automatically assigning elevation data to manhole elements for faster model building and updating and model headwalls and endwalls for culverts more efficiently. In addition, SewerGEMS and CivilStorm users can design stormwater ponds more quickly and easily using PondMaker, while SewerGEMS, SewerCAD, and CivilStorm users can utilise ILSAX hydrologic calculations.
