From Gutter to Outlet - Easy Storm Sewer Design
New StormCAD for UK users quickly learn their way around using the interface they feel more comfortable with (stand-alone, AutoCAD, or MicroStation), while experienced modelers discover new time-saving tools every day.
Choose between a scaled or schematic environment (or a combination of both), use multiple background layers as drawing aids, lay out with confidence with unlimited undo and redo, split pipes, morph elements, reconnect pipes on the fly, and set up element prototypes to streamline data entry.

Exercise Platform Freedom
Harness MicroStation's powerful 3D modeling and geospatial features, use AutoCAD's convenient drafting environment to lay out your models, or choose the straight-forward stand-alone interface. The choice is yours and only StormCAD for UK gives you that freedom.
StormCAD for UK's users also have the ablity to import/export MX Drainage or Micro Drainage data. |

Minimize Your Capital Investment
Let StormCAD for UK automatically design an entirely new storm drainage network or sections of an existing one by simply entering your design restrictions: velocities, slopes, cover depths, and pipe and inlet matching offsets. StormCAD for UK will recommend the most cost-effective pipe sizes and invert elevations, avoiding unnecessary pipe trench excavation. |

Regulatory Compliance
Solve for subcritical, critical, and supercritical conditions with StormCAD for UK's robust gradually varied, direct-step algorithm* using inlet and gutter flow computations based on HEC-22. Calculate headloss with the HEC-22 or AASHTO (1991) methods. Choose from virtually any type of closed or open conduit section and easily comply with velocity, cover, slope, and other design constraints.

Look at Storm Pipes the Right Way
Build profiles through your entire stormwater network, visualize energy and hydraulic grade lines, add annotation, save and recall profiles to avoid recreating them from scratch, and incorporate them directly in MicroStation or AutoCAD drawings or export them to DXF. |

Find More Time for Engineering
Time-saving features help you streamline data entry and leave you more time for engineering and decision making. Use flexible tabular reports, maintain your own engineering attribute libraries for faster data input, and manage engineering units on the fly. |

|
Jump-start Your Model Using Your Existing Data
Use ModelBuilder to leverage virtually any data source to get your StormCAD for UK model up and running in no time. If you already have CAD drawings, GIS files, or external databases for your storm sewer system, you are only a few clicks away from having a StormCAD for UK model of your network. Bidirectional connections between shapefiles, databases, spreadsheets, ODBC, and StormCAD for UK help you make changes to your model as your source data changes. |

|
Organize Your Scenarios for Better Decision Making
Robust engineering decisions for your storm sewer system require the consideration of multiple scenarios. Compare design approaches with varying velocity, slope and cover restrictions, evaluate system capacity for multiple storm events, and analyze outlet flows using different estimations for your catchment rational coefficients. StormCAD for UK gives you full control to configure, run, evaluate, visualize, and compare an unlimited number of scenarios within a single file. |

Leverage Powerful Hydrology and Watershed Hydraulics
Use the widely accepted Modified Rational Method or the methodology of your choice by directly entering peak flows. Specify a minimum allowable watershed time of concentration to prevent high runoff estimates for small catchments and specify equations, tables, or UK Intensity-Frequency-Duration (IFD) data. Work with an unlimited number of sub-watershed areas and C coefficients for each inlet watershed.
Select U.K. time-of-concentration and runoff coefficient calculation methods based on the procedures included in Design and Analysis of Urban Storm Drainage – The Wallingford Procedure.
Calculate inlet capacity based on HA 102/00 - Spacing of Road Gullies.

MicroStation Integration
Both StormCAD for UK stand-alone and StormCAD for UK for AutoCAD can be run from within MicroStation. From file referencing to raster management to PDF composing to digital signatures and 3D visualization, every MicroStation feature becomes a StormCAD for UK feature.
