  • Houston Public Works builds a living master plan for flood resilience

    Houston has been flooding since it was founded in 1836. Flat terrain, lots of concrete, coastal weather, and rainfall that keeps getting more intense make stormwater one of the city’s biggest infrastructure challenges. In 2017, Hurricane Harvey dropped more than 50 inches of rain on the region, the most significant rainfall event in US history…

  • InfoWorks WS Pro 2027.2 expands open channel flow modeling capabilities

    Not every water distribution system stays neatly inside a pressurized pipe. For many utilities, and particularly for irrigation networks, water moves through a combination of pressurized pipes, open channels, gravity-fed sections, and other hydraulic structures. Modeling those systems can quickly become complicated when the software draws a harder boundary between those different types of flow…

  • Using InfoWorks ICM in NFIP studies: Navigating FEMA’s local model acceptance process

    Is InfoWorks ICM approved by FEMA? We get that question a lot, so we asked engineering firms that have gone through the regional acceptance process to share what they learned. Many flood modelers already know that InfoWorks ICM can build highly detailed 1D and 2D flood models. What’s less widely understood is that InfoWorks ICM may…
