What's New at CULTEC

CULTEC Offers New CULTEC StormGenie™ Automated Drawing Program.
May 22, 2009 - The CULTEC StormGenie™ is an AutoCAD® plug-in for designing CULTEC Stormwater Systems. It is used in conjunction with CULTEC's Stormwater Design Calculator to generate project-specific AutoCAD® drawings for CULTEC's Contactor® and Recharger® Retention and Detention Stormwater Systems. The StormGenie™ takes information from the Stormwater Design Calculator and creates square beds based on the client's project input.

No other stormwater product manufacturer has a drawing program like this!
Just another way that CULTEC is making the design phase that much easier.

Benefits of CULTEC StormGenie™
Excellent for creating preliminary system proposals to clients without spending a lot of time
Quick way to draw accurate bed layouts that can be modified into irregular sized beds
Great for contractors and landscape architects to draw systems for review by an engineer or client
Ideal for professional looking drawings for bids, conceptual systems or product substitutions

CULTEC Offers HydroCAD CULTEC Edition Free of Charge 
March 4, 2009 – CULTEC is offering its customers a free HydroCAD CULTEC edition, available for download here.

This custom edition allows constructing basic watershed models of up to five nodes, including storage, runoff, and routing calculations for the company’s Contactor®, Recharger®, HVLV™, and Field Drain™ models.

HydroCAD CULTEC is used to generate a complete inflow or runoff hydrograph and route it through the pond, calculating water levels attained throughout a rainfall event and any discharge that may occur through outlet devices or infiltration. It models complex storage arrangements, such as combinations of multiple chambers, pipe storage and catch basins. HydroCAD CULTEC also calculates the combined storage for chambers entrenched in a bed of crushed stone at any water surface elevation.

“HydroCAD CULTEC makes it easy for CULTEC’s customers to design and model underground retention and detention systems, especially when they need to determine the combined storage for a configuration of chambers, without resorting to any manual calculations,” said Peter Smart, developer at HydroCAD Software Solutions.

Existing HydroCAD users should obtain a version update to retain the capabilities of their software as CULTEC edition will replace any previous HydroCAD installation. The latest HydroCAD-9 release includes all CULTEC chambers and a new chamber wizard, which simplifies the layout, pricing, and modeling of underground storage systems.

CULTEC’s Contactor® series included in HydroCAD are lower profile, lower capacity chambers used primarily for managing stormwater for installations with stringent depth restrictions. The Recharger® series are high profile, high capacity chambers that can be used for retention, detention, recharging, or controlling the flow of on-site stormwater run-off.

HydroCAD is an integrated solution for the analysis, design, and documentation of complete drainage systems using standard hydrograph techniques. It is used for all types of drainage projects, from small runoff studies to complex detention pond designs. For more information, visit HydroCAD's website.
