  • Drainage designed for nature – and people: GBM’s commitment to SuDS at Fuenlabrada Fairground Park

    Urban drainage is undergoing a fundamental transformation around the world. As cities expand and climate patterns become more extreme, traditional drainage strategies, which are focused almost exclusively on collecting and evacuating stormwater, are proving increasingly inadequate. Capacity constraints, water quality impacts, energy consumption, and flood risk are forcing engineers and planners to rethink how urban…

  • Jacobs: How 1D + 2D modeling in InfoWorks ICM is controlling stormwater in Toronto (and saving $$$)

    The Woodborough Park neighborhood in Toronto is part of the Fairbank-Silverthorn area, which experiences significant flooding challenges, especially during heavy rainfall events. Their two big problems are a long history of basement flooding and sewer system overloads. Like many North American cities without separate sewer and water systems, they struggle with CSOs (Combined Sewer Overflows),…

  • Forecasting water system performance by connecting SCADA and hydraulic models

    Utilities are increasingly expected to move faster – from reacting to system conditions to anticipating what comes next. In a recent Autodesk Water Drop walkthrough video, Tim Medearis walks you through how utilities can compare real-time SCADA data with hydraulic model results and forecast future system behavior by connecting Info360 Insight and InfoWater Pro. These…

  • Houston’s Stormwater Master Plan: a modern approach to citywide modeling

    Houston’s relationship with water has always been complex. Sometimes called the “Bayou City”, Houston has been flooding since it was founded in 1836. Flat terrain, lots of concrete, expansive development, its position near the coast, and increasingly intense rainfall events have made stormwater management one of the city’s most critical infrastructure challenges. But they’ve been…

  • Artificial and constructed wetlands: sustainable drainage superstars

    Artificial wetlands are a common feature of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and are widely used in urban drainage design to manage stormwater and rainwater runoff, as well as promote sustainable drainage practices. An artificial wetland is a constructed ecosystem designed to manage water and pollution through engineered processes that are designed to mimic natural processes…
