Utilities and engineering firms who want a software solution to design new water systems and manage existing water networks
About OpenFlows WaterCAD
Utilities and engineering firms around the world trust OpenFlows WaterCAD as a reliable decision-support capability for their infrastructure. Design new water systems and manage existing water networks effectively to reduce disruption risks and energy use. OpenFlows WaterCAD’s ease-of-use helps you successfully plan, design, and operate water distribution systems. Leverage and import virtually any external data format to jumpstart the model accurately, easily allocate water demands, and automate terrain extraction and node allocation. Assess and compare an unlimited number of physical, design, water demand, network topology, and operational scenarios. Model in a familiar platform, leveraging CAD capabilities and shortcuts when using OpenFlows WaterCAD from within MicroStation or AutoCAD. You can also choose to use OpenFlows WaterCAD as a stand-alone application, for additional flexibility. OpenFlows WaterCAD is a subset of OpenFlows WaterGEMS.

OpenFlows WaterGEMS
OpenFlows WaterGEMS provides you with a comprehensive yet easy-to-use decision-support tool for water distribution networks. The software helps improve your knowledge of how infrastructure behaves as a system, how it reacts to operational strategies, and how it should grow as population and demands increase. From fire flow and water quality simulations to criticality and energy cost analysis, OpenFlows WaterGEMS has everything you need in a flexible multiplatform environment. OpenFlows WaterGEMS is a superset of OpenFlows WaterCAD. Efficiently identify potential problems, accommodate service area growth, and plan/prioritize capital improvement projects by using criticality analysis, DMA planning, and pressure management tools to identify potential projects. Use real-time data to analyze energy use and costs, maximize operational efficiencies, minimize disruptions, and intelligently respond to emergencies.

OpenFlows CivilStorm
Comprehensive stormwater modeling and analysis software. Stormwater systems can be very complex to model, with flow backups and reversals, surcharged pipes, and more. OpenFlows CivilStorm is one solution for all your stormwater modeling needs. Detect system bottlenecks, improve capacity, and limit stormwater flooding, so you can comply with stormwater regulation . Minimize capital investments on your infrastructure with optimized network designs and master plans for your entire system. OpenFlows CivilStorm performs analysis of all aspects of stormwater systems: rainfall, runoff, inlet capture and bypass, gravity and pressure piping, ponds, outlet structures, open channels, culverts, and more. It provides comprehensive stormwater modeling. Analyze pressure and free-surface flow conditions for networks of channels and closed conduits; model complex pond outlets for a variety of tailwater conditions; and use weirs, orifices, culverts, risers, and inlet boxes in your design.

OpenFlows WorkSuite
OpenFlows WorkSuite bundles Bentley’s two most advanced hydraulics and hydrology solutions, OpenFlows Water and OpenFlows Sewer, into one integrated offering for planning, designing, and analyzing water distribution, sanitary, and combined-sewer systems. It enables small and large utilities as well as engineering consultants to build robust models of water networks, explore “what-if” scenarios, manage asset performance, and comply with regulatory demands. With open interoperability and geospatial integration, the solution supports fire-flow and water-quality analysis, energy and capital-cost optimization in water distribution systems, as well as flood-depth/velocity analysis, wet-weather calibration, and SCADA-data connections in sewer and storm systems. The product is available in three tiers; Standard (1,000 pipes), Advanced (5,000 pipes), and Ultimate (unlimited pipes), each including increasing levels of modelling scale and power.

InfoWater Pro
InfoWater gives you answers to "what happens when" questions, so you can make decisions with confidence. Hydraulic models in InfoWater bridge the gap between network modeling and ArcGIS, ensuring you get sound, cost-effective engineering solutions for designing, planning, and operating your systems. InfoWater is completely integrated within the Esri ArcGIS environment. If you're using - or considering - Esri ArcGIS Pro, take a look at InfoWater Pro. We also cater for stand-alone environments and AutoCAD users. Which water distribution assets will have the biggest impact if they fail? InfoWater automatically assesses how customer service levels will be affected by asset failures, so you can prioritize their criticality to guide your capital planning budget. InfoWater fills in the gaps between sensors and telemetry to aid proactive event management and system performance. Whether your network comprises 100 or 100,000+ pipes, InfoWater has the power to quickly model your system.
