XPdrainage

Quickly Design, Compare and Analyse Stormwater Controls

XPdrainage is a sustainable drainage design software package for landscape architects, urban planners and civil engineers involved in Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD). It leads the user through the drainage design process for stormwater controls, from conceptual design to water quality analysis to hydraulic flow analysis of the surface and subsurface.

What makes  XPdrainage so effecitve?

·         User friendly interface offers an intuitive ribbon design navigation.

·         Create your design with background imagery, CAD, GIS and digital terrain data.

·         Include stormwater controls such as bioretention, ponds, swales and permeable paving as well as traditional tank drainage systems, pipes and channel connections to build a full treatment train approach.

·         Design rainwater harvesting: green roofs, rainwater tanks and model outflows and grey water usage.

·         Use calculators within the program to size individual stormwater controls and then analyse how well the whole design will control flows and reduce pollutants.

·         Analyse your model for built-in ARR design storms or short and long-term user-defined rainfall events.

·         Easily modify your designs based on feedback and quickly re-assess their effectiveness.

·         Easily review and compare results and graphs for pre- and post-development, multiple phases or different stormwater solutions.

·         Export your fully-engineered drainage designs back to CAD and a range of flexible outputs.

Stormwater controls can be complex – but xpdrainage lets you compare designs simply, accurately and consistently.
