WHY
xpdrainage?
Design Engineers need to find how big a treatment system needs to be for a given project and how will that fit on a project site, and do so within the project timelines. Plan Reviewers need to clearly understand the intent of a proposed stormwater system and verify that this meets local guidelines without spending a lot of time deciphering the designer’s intentions.
xpdrainage
automates the design and assessment of stormwater systems and is enhanced by ‘one-click’ optimizing for all Runoff Reduction practices. This allows for sustainable drainage plans that are quick to assemble, clear to communicate and thoroughly reviewable. xpdrainage will help you to complete projects before their deadlines, present very clear and understandable reports to constituents and be more confident in your overall design because it is integrated with your current CAD drawing software.
xpdrainage is purpose built to provide a visual, approachable, easy to understand and thorough platform for your stormwater mitigation design and review requirements.
Clear Visualization of Design - xpdrainage removes the guess work. • Demonstrate system performance visually against live network data. • Clearly show available space for stormwater controls on site with plan views. • Use profile views to see how the design is connected and verify that the levels of your design are correct. • Instant warnings highlight flood risk and flooding. A Treatment Train Approach - produce more reliable designs, easier and in less time. • Design connected stormwater controls to include important effects of downstream water levels. • Follow EPA Best Management Practices of taking a treatment train approach. • Show that the connected systems work together through profile and plan views. Simplified Workflow - quickly master the
xpdrainage
interface with its intuitive workflow • An easy-to-use interface guides you through the design process. • The software responds to your current action to present only valid and logical options. GIS and CAD Integration - xpdrainage streamlines workflow with whatever CAD platforms are used. • Import and Export Civil3D Pipe Networks in xpdrainage using LandXML, greatly improving workflow. • Populate system data from CAD layers and polygons. Reference multiple files with paths displayed for easy reference and project control. • Import and Export GIS files of object outlines and attribute data to efficiently start designs in
xpdrainage
and to
create comprehensive reporting at project completion.
EFFICIENT DESIGN Digital Terrain Model. Create or import land surfaces in xpdrainage to allow assignment of elevations and computation of overland flow depths and directions. Background Data. Import multiple georeferenced images for enhanced visual display. Use GIS and CAD files as background references; snap to data from SHP, MID/MIF, DWG or DXF files. Automatic Pipe Sizing. Use the Auto Size tool to automatically size pipes based on Rational Method design criteria accounting for design constraints including minimum velocities, cover level and depths. Stormwater Controls. Customize the stormwater control parameters to suit a wide range of applications for treatment, filtration and storage devices. Pipes and Channels. Combine the grey infrastructure with the green by connecting your stormwater controls with pipes and channels, manholes or simple junctions.
Inlet and Outlet Controls. Allow for bypass flows and lateral inflow types. Choose from a wide range of flow controls such as orifices, weirs and gates. Templates. xpdrainage can be localized with templates to vastly reduce model setup time, storing information for rainfall, pollutants, stormwater controls, inlet specifications, results presentation and more.

Dynamic Analysis. Assess effects of levels storage and hydrograph timing including detailed flow and depth calculations through stormwater controls and connections. Additionally, two pollutant removal methodologies can be selected for analysis of water quality. Advanced System Validation. Before analysis review a summary of potential level inconsistencies or input errors which would have significant undesired impact on the model if left unfixed. Use a choice of options to automatically adjust the problematic areas, or to manually override individual adjustments.
xpdrainage xpdrainage is an automated design and review software program for stormwater systems that is integrated to CAD and GIS platforms for reliable and efficient project designs.
xpdrainage walks a user through the entire stormwater design process by implementing a “treatment train” approach, where stormwater controls are linked to maximize the effectiveness of traditional and newer Green Infrastructure practices. It uses a “deluge” feature to show where water would naturally pool in an undeveloped area. The engineer can drag and drop the stormwater controls, input their parameters, automatically size pipes and controls, and then analyze the difference between pre- and post-development scenarios. Established in 1974, XP Solutions is a world leading provider of industry standard software for the civil engineering and environmental sectors.
