Case Study: Hydrus Works reduces stormwater flood mitigation costs with Datacor AFT Fathom

Hydrus Works cuts stormwater scope by 35% with Datacor

Hydrus Works, LLC, an engineering firm, was tasked by a Gulf Coast refinery with resolving a failing stormwater system that created flooding hazards. They also needed to provide a second opinion on another firm's expensive recommendations. Using pipe flow modeling software, AFT Fathom, from vendor Datacor, engineer Michael Arthur built a highly accurate model of the complex system to evaluate it.

Datacor's AFT Fathom software allowed Hydrus Works to explore diverse design alternatives and mitigation strategies efficiently. The solution enabled them to propose a plan that increased stormwater flow capacity by over 151% while shaving 35% ($25 million) from the original $70 million proposed scope, meeting all client design requirements and saving significant capital expenditure.
