Dual drainage design

PCSWMM provides innovative tools for fast, accurate major/minor system modeling, analysis and design. Step up to dynamic analysis of dual systems, with dynamic wave routing allowing for flexible inlet control, catchbasin flooding and reverse flow, street/gutter flow and overland routing, accurate surcharge and pressure flow pipe modeling, and much more.

• Automate the creation of your major system with the Dual Drainage Creator
• Easily develop detailed street cross-sections with the Street Designer
• Efficiently assign inlet control (based on rating curves or capacity) for individual catchbasins or aggregated inlets
• Automatically adjust junction inverts to meet minimum slope criteria
• Accurately model manhole drops and account for varying energy losses at junctions
• Assess the impact of multiple Low Impact Development (LID) practices
• Create design storms for both major and minor events with the comprehensive storm distribution library in the Design Storm Creator tool, including standard SCS, Huff, AES, Chicago, etc. as well as locally-required design storm distributions
• Automatically size pipes based on computed peak flows
• Quickly tweak and test design parameters (diameters, inverts, etc.) directly in the profile view for computed HGL
• Easily check for design criteria such as depth of cover, minimum slope, etc.
• Perform long term, continuous modeling verification of dual drainage performance
• Compare design alternatives with comprehensive scenario analysis graphs, profiles and reports
