CivilStorm

CivilStorm is a stormwater modelling product from Bentley Systems, a software company serving architects, engineers, constructors and infrastructure owners. It is used by engineering teams to analyse how rainfall and runoff move through drainage networks.

What CivilStorm offers

• Rainfall and runoff modelling — simulates storm events and surface flow.
• Inlet behaviour — models how inlets capture water and how much bypasses them.
• Piped networks — gravity and pressure piping.
• Detention structures — detention ponds and outlet structures.
• Open channels and culverts — modelled alongside the rest of the system.

Who it works with

Engineering professionals and organisations of different sizes working on projects of any scale. Bentley states that the software supports collaboration between disciplines across the life of an infrastructure asset, and its wider range covers roads, water, energy and buildings.
