WHY xpdrainage?

Designers, planners and engineers in charge of new

development and urban revitalisation realise more than

ever the necessity to incorporate Low Impact Development,

Water Sensitive Urban Design and Sustainable Drainage

approaches into their designs. Green Infrastructure is

becoming the norm and those not including it in their

designs will soon be lagging behind. With ever increasing

project complexity combined with pressure to keep design

costs down, it is important to consider multiple connected

stormwater controls in one design and make visualising

them easy for clearly reviewable submissions.

xpdrainage is a sustainable drainage design package that

can perform hydrological analysis on combined green and

grey stormwater infrastructure from conceptual planning

to detailed design for water quality and quantity analysis.

xpdrainage walks the user through the design process, and

allows for easy comparison between results, from pre- and

post- development scenarios to multiple mitigation options.

xpdrainage is purpose built to provide a visual, approachable, easy to understand and thorough platform for your LID/BMP/WSUD/SuDS planning and design requirements.

Clear Visualisation of Design - xpdrainage removes the guess work.

• Demonstrating system performance visually against live network data

• Clearly show there is space for stormwater controls on site with plan views.

• Use profile views to see how the design is connected and show the levels of your design are correct.

• Instant warnings also highlight flood risk and flooding

A Treatment Train Approach. - xpdrainage removes the guess work.

• Design connected stormwater controls to include

important effects of downstream water levels.

• Follow EPA Best Management Practices of taking a

treatment train approach.

• Show the connected systems work together in profile

and plan views.

Simplified Workflow - quickly learn the xpdrainage interface

with its intuitive workflow

• An easy to use interface to guides you through the

design process

• xpdrainage responds to your current action to present

only valid and logical options

• Build trust and confidence in results submissions

DESIGN WITH CONFIDENCE

EFFICIENT DESIGN

Digital Terrain Model. Create or import land surfaces

in xpdrainage to allow assignment of elevations and

computation of overland flow depths and directions.

GIS and CAD Integration. Use GIS and CAD files as

background images; snap to data from SHP, MID/MIF, DWG

or DXF files. Import data from layers and polygons. Reference

multiple files with paths displayed for easy reference and

project control.

Background Images. Import multiple georeferenced

images for enhanced visual display.

Stormwater Controls. The user has the ability to customise

the stormwater control parameters to suit a wide range of

applications for treatment, filtration and storage devices.

Inlet and Outlet Controls. Allow for bypass flows and

lateral inflow types. Choose from a wide range of flow

controls such as orifices, weirs and gates.

Pipes and Channels. Combine the grey infrastructure with

the green by connecting your stormwater controls with

pipes and channels, manholes or simple junctions. Use the

Automatic Pipe Sizing. Auto Size tool to automatically size

pipes based on rational method design criteria including

minimum velocities and depths.

Templates. xpdrainage can be localised with templates to

vastly reduce model setup time, storing information for

rainfall, pollutants, stormwater controls, inlet specifications,

results presentation and more.

COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS

Use Natural Flowpaths: The Deluge feature within

xpdrainage provides a fast method of analysis for identifying

overland flow patterns to bring stormwater management

to the front of the design process and allow placing of

stormwater controls in locations that make the most sense.

Volume Calculators. Storage Estimate and Water Quality

volume calculators provide sizing tools to give a quick initial

guide before moving to detailed design of stormwater

controls.

Rainfall. Import or enter rainfall data from a wide variety

of sources for design storms or historical rainfall records.

Alternatively, select inbuilt design storms - SCS, ARR, FSR or

FEH rainfall methodologies

Runoff. Calculate runoff from catchment areas using Time

Area, Time of Concentration, SCS or Laurenson runoff

methods.

Dynamic Analysis. Choose from two pollutant removal

methodologies for analysis of water quality. Also include

effects of levels storage and hydrograph timing including

detailed flow and depth calculations through stormwater

controls and connections.

Advanced System Validation. Before analysis review

a summary of potential level inconsistencies or input

errors which would have significant undesired impact

on the model if unchecked. Use a choice of options to

automatically adjust the problematic areas, or to manually

override individual adjustments.

VERSATILE RESULTS AND OUTPUTS

Communicating a drainage plan with numerous different

stakeholders can be the most challenging part of the job

but with multiple presentation options to compare design

phases producing clear results submissions becomes easy.

Compare results. Include tabular, graphical and recorded

animations comparing pre- and post-development

and mitigation scenarios or phases in design reports.

Demonstrate and quantify the impacts to your clients and

other stakeholders.

Results Templates. Save reporting formats for sharing and

re-use to save time in producing acceptable results each

time.

Profile Views. Get immediate feedback on the levels

throughout your systems on a longsection. The interactive

interface allows you to update quickly and see the effects.
