AEC TECH NEWS: XPDRAINAGE 2017 provides automated stormwater design with CAD integration

Portland, Ore. — XP Solutions’ XPDRAINAGE 2017 Automated Stormwater Design software helps users create fully optimized stormwater designs faster and now integrates with CAD packages.

“We have been working hard with stormwater engineers to create a design tool that applies directly to the way they work.” says Product Owner, Zach Sample, P.E.  “XPDRAINAGE is the first software program of its kind that does visual design, allows for easy creation of stormwater BMPs to reduce runoff and stay within project goals, optimizes pipes and ponds, and now integrates fully with AutoCAD.  We couldn’t be more proud of what we have created with our clients.”

In speaking with stormwater designers over the last two years, XP Solutions said it learned two important things:

• optimization of stormwater systems and retention facilities can be a tedious and time-consuming process that is traditionally separate from the rest of the design process; and
• all roads lead back to CAD.

With this latest release of XPDRAINAGE, stormwater designers can cut hours from each stormwater design project through automated sizing and optimization of pipes and facilities, easily connect to their CAD program to create an integrated design that meets project requirements, and view results in easy-to-understand animations and tables so the engineer has complete confidence in their design.
