WATSYS will help you analyze, design and manage your water supply system. It is a comprehensive graphic information system (GIS) for your water infrastructure.

This software will simulate situations to identify and correct deficiencies in an existing distribution system, to expand a system to meet future demands, or to predict a system's performance during such emergencies as pump failures, main breaks, equipment malfunctions or fire flows. It may be used to carry out simulations for peak usage periods and low demand cycles. WATSYS can also perform water quality analysis including chlorine decay, fluoride distribution, source tracing and water age. Models may be created to better understand the movement and transformation of treated water.

Key Plans

plans, powerful keyed nodes and pipes have features which allow you to view, label or graph data, or to locate nodes and pipes on a spreadsheet or an AutoCAD drawing. They let you navigate in a simple way with little effort.

Spreadsheets

WATSYS provides you with an easy way of selecting, entering, changing, and reviewing data. Spreadsheet style data management offers descriptive prompts and help screens as you move from cell to cell.

AutoCAD

WATSYS stands alone, but if you have AutoCAD the two will work together. Specify your own base plan for capturing node and pipe locations. Our toolbar makes it easy to locate or edit water system components within WATSYS and AutoCAD. WATSYS produces detailed drawings of your model to your specifications using the same color-coding as the key plans.

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.

Key Plans & Profiles

On key plans and profiles, powerful keyed manholes have features which allow you to view or label data, or to locate manholes and pipes on a spreadsheet or an AutoCAD drawing. They let you navigate in a simple way with little effort.

HYDSYS will help you analyze, design and manage your storm drainage system. It is a comprehensive graphic information system (GIS) for your drainage infrastructure.

This software will simulate drainage from extreme rainstorms before and after land development and will help you to identify and correct deficiencies of developing urban areas. With selected hydrologic methods, you may determine design rainstorms, calibrate models, size pipes, simulate detention and produce hyetographs, hydrographs, plans and profiles. Model urban and rural drainage networks with zoning designations for paved, grassed and undeveloped contributing areas. 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.
