Why SURGE and especially, why now?
Surge is designed to replace your existing, expensive, and complex hydrology modeling software with something simple, quick, and easy to use.
-
Will Surge work with my existing files?
Surge is designed to interface with all your existing data, including shape files and reports.
-
How much time can it really save me?
In our preliminary testing, individuals reduced their time investment by approximately 60% per project.
-
Will Surge pull data directly from online sources?
With ease. Surge is designed to automate all the steps which make stormwater modeling a chore. No more manual downloads, manual table entry, or conversions.
-
Can I really cancel my pricey CAD plug in subscription?
Yes. Surge stands 100% on its own without the need of your current CAD system.
-
What does the learning curve look like?
Let's put it this way: Where others say training manual, we say training pamphlet. Surge is inherently user friendly often only taking a few minutes to get familiarized with the UI.
All of your existing data easily imports into Surge.
Key Features
The Surge team knows and has first hand experience in the fact that moving to a new business software solution isn't something we do every day. Because of this, we've invested time, thought, and resources to make the move Surge and easy decision and a simple transition.
Tied to USGS data tables
Don't worry about your resource data. Surge automatically updates your data for new projects and will ask before updating the data on existing ones.
Automated calculations
Upload your data and run the simulation. With Surge, you are in control and with a user-friendly interface, you'll have the precise data you need, in the format you want.
Easy import / export
Shape file, Excel, CSV, XML, TXT, and CAD. Surge is designed to take the hassle out of wastewater modeling. You'll literally save hours on every project.
Multiple versions
Do you need to offer multiple solutions to the client? Would you need to show a phased build-out? With Surge, you can have unlimited layers and easily show before and after data on the fly.
How Hard / Easy is it to Use?
Most stormwater modeling software on the market today lacks one essential quality: simplicity. Some say that stormwater modeling is the most unpredictable and complex type of study in the field of civil engineering. It doesn't have to be this way. Storm drain infrastructure isn't always constructed according to plan, pipes don't always flow freely, and stormwater modeling doesn't have to be a guessing game. Surge allows for reverse-grade pipes, surcharging manholes, and is made specifically to inform you of how your system is working at the touch of a button. Simply import your existing GIS data and run the model. Welcome to simplicity!

Would you like to help test or contribute to Surge?
We are currently in the testing phase of the Surge software solution. If you would like to become a beta tester, please contact us in the form below. We are also looking for feedback on what is working well for you and features you would like to see in future releases of the product.
Sample screen views
Although Surge is not yet in its official release state, below are a few examples of the current UI. Surge is a cloud based SaS program with all the features you would expect from a modern cloud service. We have worked hard to get the engineering portion of the code correct so although the GUI may seem a bit basic here, it will become much more advanced once we are certain we've covered all of the essential engineering requirements.
Team
We are a dedicated team of engineers who are simply making the world better, one line of code at a time.
