Add Trapezoidal Weirs for Pond Outlets

Trapezoidal weirs can be far more efficient as outlet structure devices than rectangular or v-notch weirs. I suppose using a rectangular and v-notch weir at the same time achieves the same goal, if you view a trapezoid as just a rectangular with t...

Resolve Design Wizard automatically introducing and accepting negative gradients along runs

The current design wizard in InfoDrainage, even when all design criteria are set to standard, allows for negative gradients to be included within the model and can often be missed without careful inspection or auditing. This then relies on going t...
Kyle Philander 6 months ago in InfoDrainage / Hydraulics 2 On roadmap

Would it be possible to include longitudinal gradient (slope) to attenuation tanks please? At the moment it appears that software assumes that these structures are constructed flat whereas in real life these could be constructed with a gradient (slope) from the upstream end towards the outlet.

Addition of infiltration flows to foul drainage models in subcatchment items

When designing foul pipe networks, client guidance often directs users to incorporate an allowance for infiltration into pipes from the surrounding ground water. This is applied in addition to foul flows currently defined using the Main Drainage/ ...

Foul Water Analysis

The ability to analyse foul water networks within Infodrainage is not fully supported. As we can build foul networks within Infodrainage, it would be helpful to output a set of calculations to demonstrate the suitability of the proposed network. C...

Slope in %

It would be very handy if the slope input option of % be present regardless of Regional settings; being just 1:x is an important limitation; also, if the slope in % could be shown in the section views, would be nice.

Freeboard in Results

When freeboard is exceeded from something like a basin, it is not immediately clear in the stormwater control results. It says flood risk and a water level that eats into the freeboard, but it does not flag up that this is an issue and is easily m...

Changes to a network do not propagate downstream

If you change a pipe diameter or gradient, it will not accommodate these changes in the downstream section of the network. For example upsizing and steepening a pipe in the middle of a run will mean the next pipeis undersized and goes uphill. It a...

Permeable Pavement with varying depth

Please add an option to input the surface slope and formation level slope for the permeable pavements to represent the varying depth of storage below. This is one of the 3 options we use at steeper sites to provide adequate storage in permeable pa...

Allow underdrains to have a different slope to the SuDS feature

Allow a storage structure such as dry swale, bioretention area or infiltration trench to have a different slope to the underdrain. Currently the underdrain has to follow the slope of the feature, which is not a real life representation of how they...
