A First in the Industry - ‘True-to-Build’ Drainage Design

One look at InfoDrainage and users will immediately notice that InfoDrainage delivers a next-generation user interface with visualisation at its heart - something we call ‘true-to-build’ drainage design.

Seeing isn’t just believing… it’s key to catching mistakes, reviewing both Macro and Micro perspectives of a project, and exchanging realistic system information with Civil 3D and other CAD tools.

By taking this approach to drainage design, our users enjoy:

• On-the-fly data and graphical syncing, instantly – change one, the other updates accordingly! • Eliminate miscommunication between project teams and drainage designers • Report, audit and understand systems with confidence

CAD integration – for proper BIM practice. In addition to the fundamentally realistic system layout in InfoDrainage, which in and of itself exemplifies BIM, we have met our customers where they are at – with a rich Autodesk Civil 3D® integration.

• Parts mapping management and InfoDrainage ribbon options directly in Civil 3D ® keeping detailed SuDS representation as part of the process.

• ‘Round tripping’ designs from InfoDrainage to Civil 3D and back again allows for any adjustments made in CAD to be assessed and vetted straight away.

• Surface and data exchange through LandXML is just a click away!

Detailed yet flexible traditional drainage and SuDS configurations The benefits of incorporating SuDS on development projects can be subtle and complex – though understanding how well they’ll work shouldn’t be. With InfoDrainage we look at these green drainage facilities in a hyper realistic manner representing the physical processes that happen in the comprehensive hydraulic analysis that we continue to pioneer.

• Account for multiple layers of infiltration through filter media, numerous outlet configurations and backwater conditions

• Update SuDS on-the-fly based on design updates and plan view changes

• From sizing to optimization, move from conceptual to preliminary and then detailed design in the same package with a full range of everything from simple volume calculations to complex control structures and above ground flow paths

• The rich graphs, customizable result reports and system validation checks help to catch mistakes early and provide thorough understanding of these often-complex structures.

• Export entire drainage plans to CAD – including profiles and layouts for SuDS structures, with 3-dimensional design characteristics.

Licensing Flexibility – Online, Offline, Large and Small You’ve spoken, we’ve listened. Innovyze has adopted a new, cloud-enabled licensing system (which was no small undertaking) to deliver to our customers what they need, for how they work.

InfoDrainage is activated with a single activation code, and a whole range of license flexibility follows, most notably:

Subscription: lowering upfront investment risk for customers and making support more accessible, InfoDrainage is offered as a subscription for maximum flexibility.

Fixed and Floating: Individual ‘fixed to a computer’ and floating ‘network server’ subscription options are available.

Commuting: With floating licenses the option to ‘Commute’ a license is in high demand – which allows a user to pull a license from a network license pool and work offline or remotely for a set amount of time. This is critical for offsite visits and simply operating a project in the real world.

Reservation Groups: For some enterprise customers, the ‘Reservation Groups’ option will be indispensable, as it allows for an admin to setup a list of users who will get first rights access to a set pool of licenses. For those organizations that have a dedicated team performing drainage design, or simply a high demand on their license pool, this is essential.

Let’s Get Started

Auditing assistance As described above, the ‘true-to-build’ nature of InfoDrainage benefits not only the initial design process but is foundational to a thorough and complete project review. The end goal of every drainage project is clear adherence to local standards and a defendable drainage plan – Innovyze is here to provide both.

• Communicate effectively with rich representations of SuDS on plan, dynamic longsection and 3D views

• Demonstrate compliance using templated, customisable audit criteria to match documents such as SuDS pro-formas

• Optioneer efficiently by comparing multiple site conditions and mitigation options side by side
