Our mission is "To deliver high quality, fully functioning civil engineering design software at low cost for the benefit of all civil engineering professionals".  

All Software designed and written by Professional Civil Engineers in C++ for unsurpassed speed and efficiency. 

The Sewer module automatically completes almost 99% of your foulsewer designs for you.  All the user is effectively required to do is to plan and define the drainage route.  

The program coordinates the sewer manholes, interpolates levels along the routes, generates the erf connection details and uses these in the analysis.  All branches are fully integrated into one network model ensuring levels are consistent throughout.  

Final longitudinal sections and quantities are also calculated from the model.   

To view a sample final longitudinal section as output from the Sewer module click <here>.  To view the results of the erf connection design click <here>.  Both outputs have been provided as DWG files for viewing purposes. 

Click <here> to download a brochure on the features of the older sewer program here in PDF format.  While the brochure has not been updated, the features are similar. The current interface is of course also different due to incorporation of this program into the Civil Suite. 

For those users who require updates to the older standalone Sewer program, please note that updates are available from the web site:  

The Terrain  module is able to comfortably handle up to 200 million points with ease and is the core module within the CIVIL SUITE 2010.  

The Water, Sewer and Roads modules derive their levels from the surfaces in the Terrain.  Up to 10 individual surfaces can be modeled simultaneously. Terrain also does the contouring, volume calculations for cut / fill, calculation of cut / fill embankments / platforms etc. 

The program is also able to import data from competitors systems thereby creating compatibility within the design office.  Imagine the usefulness of your CAD standard working directly with your Terrain / Design packages without the need to convert your drawings beforehand.

The built-in DWG CAD editor offers the user all the basic CAD manipulation functions as well as providing imaging support as well.

Please note that these older products have been discontinued as they are completely encapsulated in the CIVIL SUITE 2010.

The Water analysis module is based on the EPANet system.   Results are 100% the same as those produced by EPANet due to the common analysis system employed.  

The incorporation of this module in the Civil Suite allows the water module to interpolate levels from the Terrain automatically.  

In addition, the pipe lengths and node positions etc. are automatically determined from the DWG/DXF drawing loaded.

Our thanks to Francois Kritzinger BSc. Hons @ UCT who did the conversion of  this module from Delphi to C++.

The Roads module is a rewrite of the older standalone Roads program from around 15 years back. 

Just one unique features added just recently is the ability to define a network of roads and incorporate the output of each individual road design into a merged Terrain surface.  This surface  can  subsequently be used for the designs of the sewer or stormwater longitudinal sections.  

Download a brochure of the older Roads program <here>.  While the brochure has not been updated, the features are still very similar. The current interface is of course also different due to incorporation of this program into the Civil Suite.

The GIS module not only allows the user to read Arcview SHP files (point / line and polygon ), but also to capture and edit data in these databases.  

Specific GIS capture tools have been developed for the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Municipality to assist in the data capture of all sewer and stormwater infrastructure. 

In addition, the Civil Suite also allows the use of images stored as either JPG, BMP, TIFF or MrSID image formats.  Images which are georeferenced can be inserted directly in the DWG file format.  Redraws of these images are accomplished at lightning speeds as use is made of the popular Leadtools Raster Imaging Pro Tookit. 

The Stormwater module is currently under development and will be based on SWMM 5 engine as produced by the US EPA.

Expected delivery date of this module is June 2006. 

Effectively this will be a C++ rewrite of the EPA SWMM model but with additional functionality similar to that demonstrated by the Water module which is based on the US EPANet program.
