Arcadis

To address rising climate challenges and the critical need for flood protection, Arcadis automated the complex modeling of flood walls and gates, significantly enhancing efficiency and resilience in flood management. By leveraging Bentley's STAAD software and OpenSTAAD automation, Arcadis transformed a previously manual process that took over 16 hours per model into a streamlined one-click solution, reducing model time by 95%.

This digital solution, enhanced with iterative analysis and accurate data inputs, guarantees high-quality, consistent models, freeing up valuable time for detailed design and quality assurance. The initiative not only accelerates project delivery, but also enhances safety and community resilience against extreme weather, improving resource efficiency, and reducing environmental impacts.
