Challenge: Streamline modeling by moving beyond manual HEC-RAS and HEC-2 methods, while still providing the same standard HEC input and output files that government review agencies require.

Solution: The firm automates HEC-RAS and HEC-2 within AutoCAD using RiverNET, so that HEC input and output files can seamlessly be shared with clients, county review agencies and FEMA.

Challenge: Minimize HEC-RAS modeling time and agency review time in order to keep projects on track.

Solution: RiverNET replaces manual cross section cutting and data input by automating HEC-RAS and HEC-2 within AutoCAD.

Challenge: With frequent HEC-RAS floodplain projects, the firm needed an efficient, accurate and automated modeling solution.

Solution: In just a couple of clicks, engineers can generate a finished FEMA floodplain map, and easily produce the documentation and mapping that clients and FEMA require.

Challenge: Roche needed to model a major river diversion as part of a highway expansion project in Quebec, taking into consideration a number of native species habitats.

Solution: RiverNET incorporates HEC-RAS directly into AutoCAD, eliminating manual input of 150 cross sections and automating floodplain mapping.

Challenge: McKim & Creed modeled rivers manually using U.S. Army Corps of Engineers HEC-RAS, which resulted in a time-consuming, error-prone approach.

Solution: RiverNET enables HEC-RAS to run directly within AutoCAD, and provides additional engineering automation capabilities to HEC-RAS and AutoCAD.
