Case Study: Wollongong City Council achieves faster hydraulic modelling with 12d Solutions

Wollongong City Council - Customer Case Study

Wollongong City Council faced a challenge with a localized flooding project that had a very low construction budget. The complexity of the hydrology and site constraints meant they needed extensive and iterative 2D hydraulic modeling, a process they couldn't afford with traditional methods.

12d Solutions provided a process using their 12d Model software to streamline and drastically reduce the cost of this complex modeling. Their method involved intelligently filtering and normalizing terrain data, which reduced the model's point count by 96% and cut the runtime from 6 hours to just 15 minutes. This allowed the Council to achieve a rigorous, deterministic analysis for the small-scale project, improving design confidence and ensuring parity between the hydraulic model and the final construction drawings.
