Hydraulics and Hydrology

Plan, Design, and Operate Intelligent Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Infrastructure

Plan

Generate intelligent master plans and make reliable renewal decisions 

Design

Model accurately and deliver high-quality designs with minimal capital investments

Operate

Improve performance monitoring, emergency response, and resilience of utility infrastructure

OpenFlows is a comprehensive suite of software solutions tailored to meet the critical business needs of water infrastructure engineering teams. From fire flow and water quality simulations to criticality and energy cost analysis, we have everything you need to streamline your modeling process so that you have more time for solving water, wastewater, and stormwater engineering problems. 

Interoperability

OpenFlows supports standalone use or integration with industry-standard platforms, facilitating seamless data sharing across design engineering and operations teams as well as consultants. The result is a significant reduction in project time and costs, improved productivity, and minimized risk. 

Scenario and Model Management

OpenFlows enables engineering teams to conduct multiple hydraulic model scenarios using alternative data sets, resulting in more robust system analyses, enhanced productivity, and proactive problem-solving. 

Digital Twin Readiness

The OpenFlows Water and Sewer applications provide model information that can be directly accessed by Bentley’s digital twin platforms to create a digital twin, providing organizational visibility to critical system data including asset performance and risk information.
