FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CULTEC and HydroCAD Form Alliance
October 14, 2003
To aid the engineering community in the design of its products, CULTEC, Inc. has formed an alliance with HydroCAD Software Solutions LLC, developers of HydroCAD®, to support CULTEC Contactor® and Recharger® stormwater storage chambers in the latest HydroCAD®-7 stormwater modeling system. CULTEC selected HydroCAD® as the modeling software of choice for this alliance due to its superior modeling capabilities in a user-friendly and cost-effective, engineer-preferred program.
Gina Carolan, President of CULTEC, Inc. says: “Our firm deals with the engineering community on a daily basis in regards to the design of our storage chambers for sub-surface stormwater management. In doing so, we have been actively searching for innovative ways to make the design phase of our product line as quick and easy as possible for our clients while providing all the necessary calculations and documentation. HydroCAD® is already widely recognized and utilized by engineers. The fit and timing was perfect as Release 7 was about to be launched. We are very excited about the partnership.”
HydroCAD® has provided the competitive edge in hydrology since 1986. However, until now, it has never modeled chambers or a specific proprietary product. This partnership, along with a list of 100 new features added to the program is what sets it apart from other stormwater modeling software.
Peter Smart, President of HydroCAD Software says: "CULTEC storage chambers are widely used by our customers, and the new HydroCAD-7 release will greatly simplify the process of designing stormwater management systems that fully utilize underground storage solutions. Rather than having to calculate storage by hand, HydroCAD-7 provides automatic volume calculations for many common shapes, including all CULTEC stormwater chambers, and automatically allows for the correct storage in a surrounding bed of crushed stone. It also handles compound storage scenarios with ease, such as multi-level chambers, mixed pipe and chambers storage, and even above-ground storage overflows. HydroCAD-7 will be a big time-saver for our customers."
CULTEC, Inc. is the only manufacturer of a complete stormwater system product line consisting of: STORMFILTER® stormwater filtration chamber for treatment , HVLV™ (High Volume, Low Velocity) Header System for conveyance and seven different sized Contactor® and Recharger® storage chambers.
CULTEC, Inc. is the patent holder of the interlocking rib connection unique to its product line. CULTEC has been manufacturing its products since 1986 and has no reported failures on any of its products. Its chambers have been installed throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and overseas in Guam, Puerto Rico and Europe.
HydroCAD® combines the best of TR-20, TR-55, and SBUH, plus built-in hydraulics, graphics, automatic database, and on-screen routing diagram in a single program. The result is the fastest, easiest, and most capable stormwater modeling system available. HydroCAD® brings the benefits of Computer Aided Design to hydrology, while not requiring any other CAD software.
HydroCAD® is ideal for all types of drainage projects. From small runoff studies to complex detention pond designs, While HydroCAD® is great for speeding up your basic TR-20, TR-55, and SBUH studies, it excels when it comes to sophisticated features like these:
* Compound pond outlets like an orifice plate in front of a culvert, or a
complex stand-pipe
*
Multiple pond outlets, even routed in different directions, with no extra work
*
Coupled (interconnected) ponds with variable tailwater
*
Easy exfiltration calculations to maximize the performance of your drainage
systems
*
Calculation of detention time for compliance with new water quality regulations
*
Advanced pond storage calculations, including embedded storage and CULTEC
storage chambers.
