As the world’s drainage challenges grow, designers are constantly looking for new ways to handle stormwater. Commonly known as stormwater controls (SWCs), a subset of sustainable drainage systems, known as SuDS (LIDs/BMPs/WSUDs), have grown popular globally. SuDS work with nature, rather than against, and can be seen as more sustainable means of handling stormwater inflow…
Storm, sewer, flood
Autodesk has long been a leader in civil infrastructure and site design. With the addition of our comprehensive water portfolio in the last several years and our suite of construction tools, every aspect of civil planning, design, modeling, building, and operations can be done within the same cohesive and integrated ecosystem. While this is fantastic,…
Drainage design
VHB was looking for an integrated drainage solution for their land development projects, so they partnered with Autodesk to try out new modeling software. VHB engineers shared their experience using InfoDrainage with Senior Product Manager Samer Muhandes at Autodesk University in their excellent presentation Navigating Stormwater: How VHB Overcame Drainage Challenges Using InfoDrainage. We’re excerpting…
Customer stories
Transportation infrastructure like highways and roadways remains a vital component of modern engineering work, but – as any highway designer knows – with it comes a series of rigid guidelines for drainage and regulatory compliance. Autodesk has long been helping engineers and designers build better highways, and part of that mission is delivering drainage design…

The water industry is undergoing a state of rapid change, which will only speed up as the climate shifts. GHD research estimates that droughts, floods and storms could wipe $5.6 trillion from the GDP of world’s top economies by 2050. Are we prepared as an industry for the challenges that are unfolding? Way back in…
Sustainability
InfoDrainage, our comprehensive site-scale drainage design and analysis software, was just approved for use in the City of Raleigh, North Carolina’s Stormwater Design Manual. Huzzah! This manual joins a growing list of approving authorities recognizing the capabilities of InfoDrainage and explicitly approving it for use on projects in their region. This begs the question: Can…
Hydraulic modeling
As sustainable and accurate drainage design becomes more important in today’s world of rising sea levels and extreme weather events, now is the time to train your design and hydraulic modeling teams on how to use the latest in drainage design software. Our team of experts at Autodesk have compiled a comprehensive learning course and…
Drainage design
One of the most important things UK water regulator Ofwat wants to see water companies use AMP8 funding to achieve is elevating the importance of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG). We wrote about it in our latest white paper ‘AMP8’s unprecedented opportunities’, part of which we’re excerpting here. A change that makes society better is one…
Storm, sewer, flood
As urban areas continue to expand and our drainage infrastructure continues to be pushed to the limits, managing stormwater and urban drainage with old methods has become untenable. This isn’t just a regional problem, but a global one. Our teams often get asked, “Does InfoDrainage work in my country/region?” Generally speaking, the answer is going…
