SANSYS

Sanitary Sewerage System Design, Analysis and Mangement Software

Overview

SANSYS will help you analyze, design and manage your sanitary sewerage system. It is a comprehensive graphic information system (GIS) for your sewer infrastructure.

As a municipal planning tool, SANSYS will simulate the effects of zoning changes. As a design tool for land development, you may quickly determine suitable pipe sizes and velocities. As a maintenance management tool, your pipe and manhole inspections may be recorded and color-coded to help you to prioritize the work of your infrastructure upgrading projects. By using zoning classifications, population densities, industrial densities, contributing areas and infiltration allowances, you may size pipes for a new development or find infiltration problems of an existing system.

AutoCAD Connection

SANSYS runs alone, but if you have AutoCAD, the two will work together. Use your own base plan to capture manhole and pipe locations. Our toolbar makes it easy to pick, place, locate or edit sewerage system components. Generate detailed drawings using the same color-coding as the key plans. Easily produce a set of profiles by specifying manholes as end-points.

• AutoCAD R14.01, 2000, 2002, 2004
• customize our toolbar to add manholes and pipes, edit or view their data, auto-number new manholes, or repeat functions
• place or pick manholes or pipes on drawings to input, edit or view their data
• locate manholes and pipes on spreadsheets, key plans or key profiles by picking them on a drawing
• generate detailed profiles and color-coded plans while controlling text, symbol sizes and layer colors:
• legend, title, user descriptions
• plans show flow directions and undersized pipes with labels for pipes, manholes, existing and proposed diameters, capacities, velocities, peak flows, part flows
• profiles show pipes, hydraulic grade lines and manholes with labels for manholes, lengths, existing and proposed diameters, grades and inverts

Key Plans & Profiles

Use powerful keyed manholes on key plans and profiles to view or edit information or to locate manholes and pipes on spreadsheets or AutoCAD drawings. Use them to view or connect CivilSystems properties. They let you navigate in a simple way with little effort.

• point-and-click to locate keyed manholes between spreadsheets, key plans, key profiles, AutoCAD and CivilSystems
• use pop-up labels to display your choice of information when your cursor is placed over a keyed manhole
• double-click a keyed manhole to edit it and its pipe
• image zoom, copy to clipboard, save, print
• insert labels or legend on image
• size pipe lines to correspond to diameters
• color-code pipes to visualize critical information



CivilSystems Connection

Use our CivilSystems property connector as an option to apply loads to your network. Build and maintain a database of city lots, houses, apartments, office buildings or other properties. Import water meter data to calibrate your model. Pick polylines from an AutoCAD drawing to get areas. Predict the effects of development by extracting loads of various scenarios such as present-use, ultimate density (built-out) or future zoning.

Sewerage Model

This gravity network model will calculate flows using many choices and combinations of peaking factors:

• peaking factor formulae:
• Babbitt with variations
• Harmon (Ten State) with variations
• constant and exponential
• specified allowable ranges
• variations for commercial, non-residential flows
• link models together
• divert flows and overflows
• designate pipes as forcemains
• handle curved or irregular alignments with fixed length options
• enter pipes, manholes in any order
• search for or sort manholes and pipes
• generate pipe lengths from coordinates, inverts from ground elevations, pipe grades from lengths and inverts


Loads

Load your sewerage model with flows from various sources.

• residential, per capita flows
• population, industrial and commercial densities
• zoning definitions with choice of density units
• contributing populations
• infiltration by area or pipe size and length
• pumped and measured flows



Results

View analysis results on spreadsheets, reports, plans or profiles.
