Bentley Systems, Inc. has announced the release of SewerCAD V8 XM Edition, a powerful tool for sewer design and rehabilitation. SewerCAD V8 XM provides innovative modeling tools featuring an easy-to-use interface and advanced capabilities that enable engineers from municipalities, utilities and consulting firms to get the most value from their capital improvement funds. The new tools help engineers cost-effectively evaluate capacity, size pipes, select pumps and identify the locations of potential overflows, and are particularly well suited for systems that are a mix of gravity and pressure flow.
Included in SewerCAD V8 XM’s many new capabilities are advanced thematic mapping, configurable element symbology and improved utilities that allow users to quickly convert and integrate data from CAD, GIS, and other data stores. The latter means that users do not have to recreate existing CAD or GIS data, saving them substantial time on complex projects and enhancing their ability to support owner-operators using a variety of data sources.
Commenting on the new SewerCAD, Ryan Johnson, program manager at Veolia Water North America, said, “We have applied SewerCAD on several important projects with great success. Its incredibly short learning curve and ease of use increase our productivity, and its broad set of feature-rich tools improves the quality of our designs.”
Said Thomas Walski, Bentley SewerCAD product manager, “SewerCAD’s features, stability, and performance were developed specifically for the needs of engineers working on the hydraulic aspects of wastewater collection systems. As a result, users of this software won’t face the frustrations commonly associated with overly complex modeling engines—including the need to constantly readjust the input data and modeling assumptions.”
