About Carlson Civil
Carlson Software’s Civil Suite is a powerful software bundle made up of: Carlson Survey, Carlson Civil, Carlson Hydrology, and Carlson GIS. These four civil-related modular programs, working together, will allow you to create all of your deliverables at a fraction of the long-term costs compared to other software alternatives. Carlson Civil provides the most robust automation and ease-of-use of any civil design solution available today, and it does dynamic updating without a single custom object. Carlson Civil’s wide selection of “power” tools enable users to increase their productivity as they create better road, site, and subdivision designs in less time. Carlson Hydrology is a comprehensive, yet easy-to-master hydrologic and hydraulic software solution that works simply in the commonly user CAD environment of polylines, text and layers. Carlson Hydrology provides site drainage and runoff analysis, plus storm drain system design and drafting, and pond design and sizing.

OpenFlows StormCAD
In challenging times, budgets for infrastructure projects are tight. OpenFlows StormCAD helps you be as effective as possible on storm sewer development projects. The software provides roadway and site designers, stormwater master planners, and land developers like you with advanced tools to effectively deliver high quality design with minimized capital investments. Load models with wet weather runoff flows derived from Hydro-35 or Intensity-Duration-Frequency rainfall events. Runoff flows are computed using the Rational Method. Calculate the proportion of stormwater runoff that will enter an inlet versus the proportion that will be carried downstream in a gutter or pond on the road surface. Quickly confirm that the spread of flow in a gutter doesn't exceed design requirements.

Site3D
Comprehensive facilities include tools for road placement in horizontal and vertical, automated junctions and roundabouts, varying carriageway width, spiral curve transitions, super-elevation, interface grading, building pads, earthworks, ponds and drainage. Site3D works from the engineers' point of view. Having been developed within a civil engineering consultancy, the software works in the way that engineers think. The software is so intuitive that engineers often require no training in Site3D to deliver complex design schemes. The powerful interactive features in Site3D empower the engineer to deliver projects in a fraction of the time of traditional systems. Using Site3D allows engineers to get through more work and to produce more refined designs. Because Site3D makes it so quick and easy to modify any aspect of the design model, the engineer is able to try out many what if scenarios. This allows for a more honed and refined final design.
