Would it be possible for Flow to introduce backdrop manholes in order to reduce pipe slopes/flow velocity (storm and foul)? In steep sites it is often necessary to do this manually in the software and it is time consuming to optimise. It is alread...

I have a request regards time to half empty of infiltration systems. Irrespective of what I set in the preference page (whether time to half empty by volume or by storm) I just get time to half empty of the structure. That isn’t very useful inform...

Finding total volume of a structure would be useful (similar to the volume Static Tool in MicroDrainage).At present the only way to do it is look at the storage tab and hover over a depth in the storage structure section and it shows the depth and...

Check dams are commonly used in swales to temporarily pond runoff to increase pollutant retention and infiltration and decrease flow velocity, but Flow does not have an option to model them. As they are a recognised SuDS feature, and commonly used...

There is often need to hide certain pipes from the final output. Either they are dummy pipes that have no relation to the final layout or they are areas outside the specific design network that do not need to be included in the report. Microdraina...

There has been an update to FLOW where you know have to go into the storage tab to adjust the porosity, the base coeff, the Side coeff, the surround shape and Diameter. (say for a filter drain) You used to be able to change all of this from the sk...

Global urban creep isn’t helpful. We have a process of assessing UC on a pipe-by-pipe basis. We separate the areas that UC should be applied to and areas such as flats the highway that don’t need it. If global UC is applied, then you are adding 10...

Add a column called ‘Infiltration Volume’ to the simulation results table which indicates the total volume of water infiltrating into the ground at the upstream manhole during the selected storm.

Add a column for manhole cover loading classification on manhole schedule. Required for S104 and construction plans
