Integrated highway design with the Civil 3D + InfoDrainage end-to-end workflow
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 path to digital transformation in water infrastructure is becoming more clear
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…

Can you use InfoDrainage? What to do when an official drainage design manual doesn’t specify.
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…

Deciding between steady state and extended period simulations in InfoWorks ICM
It is not uncommon for numerical hydraulic models to inform the scale and size of built infrastructure. After all, one of the clear benefits of creating a model is the ability to experiment and test out your theories about how to optimize a design before you build. Thus, the validity of our built infrastructure ultimately…
