Civil & Environmental Consultants cuts modeling budgets by 75% with CivilGEO

Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC), a top national engineering firm, faced inefficiencies in its water resources projects. Their challenge was the cumbersome and budget-intensive process of using separate software applications like ESRI ArcGIS and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' HEC-RAS for 1D and 2D flood modeling, which consumed up to 50% of a project's budget just on model development.

By implementing CivilGEO's GeoHECRAS and GeoHECHMS software, CEC streamlined its workflow. The integrated GIS environment allowed for direct terrain manipulation and model adjustments, while the interactive interface improved project reviews. As a result, CivilGEO's solution cut model development time by 50%, reducing the portion of the project budget spent on modeling from 50% to just 25%. On one project, recreating a model from scratch took a quarter of the original time, delivering major efficiency gains and allowing more time for analyzing results and developing client solutions.
