S&S as an Automation Platform

Using Storm&Sanitary as your Hydraulics Drafting and Calculations Platform allows you to easily integrate processes and deliverables that currently be poorly integrated, tedious, time consuming, and prone to error.

Does your Current Hydraulics Deliverable Worfklow look like this:

All the typing in the above image is wasted time, it is also extremely prone to error, a challenge to maintain, and extremely difficult to ensure synchronicity.  Equally important to the designer: it's not fun.

Value is added by the designer when laying out a structure, when adjusting the structure (say, vertically) based on engineering judgment and when doing quality control.  Outside of this typing for a structure is a waste of time and a huge opportunity for error.  Quality Control for  the above environment consists of much too much transcription checking.

Storm&Sanitary makes adding value to the model extremely easy via its integrated graphic and data-normal environment.  Typing is minimized even in the initial layout period as defaults are calculated from the InRoads model.  All relevant calculations are performed automatically.

Storm & Sanitary can make it look like this:

Industry Standard Automation Tools (e.g., VBA) allow simple delivery of data from Storm&Sanitary to just about any electronic (and, therefore, printable) format.  

In the above example a macro generates and populates the CalTrans District 11 "Green Sheet" for every structure with the push of a button.  "One-Buttons" deliver other data and formats that don't come from Storm&Sanitary "out of the box."

Furthermore, the Green Sheets and Flowmaster Calculations are redundant to the better integrated Storm&Sanitary data model and hydraulic engine (I developed the push-button solutions because my client was afraid to deviate from what he had delivered in the past.  It was far quicker to develop the macros than to manuallyl transcribe the data).
