Streamline the regulatory approval process

Bentley’s hydraulics and hydrology software provides users with great customization capabilities to help submit clear reports for approval. The quick and easy-to-set-up thematic mapping in these products gives engineers the ability to interpret results easily.

These software products also enable consultants to provide agencies with the model in EPANET or SWMM formats in the situation where EPA standard model results are required for approval.

Software tools for streamlining the regulatory approval process include:

• Customizable outputs for project submittals:
  Document your results for project reports and plan sets using customizable outputs such as tabular results, plan and profile drawings, and graphs. Sort and filter the data to show the results reviewers are interested in and export them to Word, Excel, PDF, etc. for final submittal.
  
  
• Thematic maps for clear visualization of results:
  Find bottlenecks by simply looking at a color-coded map with annotations or contours. Visualize how additional storage can attenuate overflows by using profiles that animate through time, for example.
  
  
• Submission of the model in standard EPANET and SWMM formats:
  The ability to export the model to the standard EPANET (from WaterCAD, WaterGEMS) and SWMM (from CivilStorm) formats enables consultants to provide agencies with the model in either of these formats.
  
  
• FEMA-approval:
  Bentley’s FEMA-approved stormwater products help land development projects comply with flooding regulations in the USA. Consultants get the ability to take on National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)-related work.
