Best practice in sustainable drainage design: what’s holding SuDS approaches back — and what to do about it
As urban areas densify and climate-driven flood risk increases, Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) have shifted from “nice to have” to essential — and in many places, effectively planning-required. Yet many organisations still struggle to deliver SuDS consistently due to fragmented processes, inconsistent requirements, skills shortages, and slow approvals. In our latest webinar, which was hosted…

How professionals design rain gardens to effectively control stormwater runoff
Rain gardens 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. In the urban environment, hard or impervious surfaces often block the natural process of infiltration, which means rainwater can’t soak into the ground.…

Implementing the updated Australian Rainfall and Runoff guidelines to account for climate change
With heavy short-term rainfall events becoming more intense, it’s critical that Australia’s flood maps are dynamically altered to include the most up-to-date ARR guidelines. Because our software offers customizable rainfall calculations, you can adjust equations to go beyond standard calculations – to account for climate change or to apply specific details that affect your location. Australia is…

Asset management Deterioration Modeling made smarter with Info360 Asset
Aging water and wastewater infrastructure presents a growing challenge for utilities: unexpected failures, costly emergency repairs, and uncertainty in long-term capital planning. Predicting which pipes are most at risk has often relied on incomplete inspection data or manual scoring, leaving asset managers with limited insight. The new Deterioration Modeling feature in Info360 Asset tackles this…
