Flood Manager
Put slow runtimes in the past
Floodplain modeling is critical, especially in today’s changing contexts of urban growth, fluctuating migration patterns, and climate change. Unfortunately, it’s also onerous—requiring significant investment, processing power, and time.
Flood Manager is an innovative, cloud-based modeling solution that enables engineers to produce floodplain models anywhere, anytime, at a fraction of the usual cost and time.
Flood Manager savings aren’t just theoretical. Check out these stats from a recent project.

Phase Completion
#1
Quality Is the Top Priority
A 12-plan model run in Flood Manager reduced run time from four days to under eight hours.
The team was able to deliver each phase within an accelerated timeline, resulting in a timely delivery to the client.
Flood Manager’s efficiency allowed engineers more time to focus on delivering the highest quality possible.
