  • CatchmentSIM
  • TRIM

Catchment Simulation Solutions provides engineering consulting services in water field with a special focus on hydrologic and hydraulic modelling. 

We also develop and market several software product in this field, including our flagship product CatchmentSIM for mapping subcatchments and creating hydrologic models. We also develop TRIM, a complete simulation manager for TUFLOW.

 

CSS has considerable expertise in a full suite of flood-related disciplines. We strive to provide our clients with access to the latest available software, systems and modelling tools to improve efficiency and deliver innovative and timely outcomes. We are familiar with a range of 1, 2 and 3-dimensional hydraulic software, lumped and distributed hydrologic software and GIS software. This includes:

Sample Projects

  • Campbelltown Flood Study +

    CSS was engaged by Campbelltown City Council to prepare a detailed flood study for the Campbelltown Locality. The purpose of the flood study was to define flood behaviour for existing and future conditions. In accordance with the requirements of the NSW Government's Floodplain Development Manual (2005), both mainstream and overland flooding needed to be considered as part of the study.

  • Sydney Harbour Subcatchment Delineation +

    CSS were engaged by the Sydney Metropolitan CMA to complete subcatchment delineation for the Lower Parramatta River, Lane Cove River and Middle Harbour catchments, which occupy approximately 350 km2 of the Sydney urban area.  The project was completed as part of the Sydney Harbour Water Quality Improvement Plan.

  • Parramatta River Source Catchments Modelling +

    CSS was engaged by the Sydney Metropolitan CMA to prepare Catchment Pollutant Export Models (CPEM) for the Upper and Lower Parramatta River catchments. The CPEM were developed for the Sydney Harbour Water Quality Improvement Plan using the Source Catchments software.

  • The Hills Urban Overland Flowpath Mapping +

    CSS were engaged by The Hills Shire Council to map all urban overland flow path alignments in The Hills Shire Council LGA. The purpose of the study was to help identify all allotments that may be traversed by an urban overland flow path and which may be subject to a flood-related development controls (i.e., flood control lots).

CatchmentSIM is a powerful software package for hydrologic analysis of terrain including mapping catchments, flowpaths and integration with hydrologic models.
  • Create a DEM from a wide range of data sources.
  • Remove flat and pits from the DEM using advanced filling and breaching algorithms.
  • Map the drainage path for any point in the terrain.
  • Automatically delineate stream networks complete with Horton ordering and full range of hydrologic attributes.
  • Automatically breakup a catchment into a subcatchment network.
  • Automatic calculation of subcatchment impervious proportions.
  • Integrates with 12d to map drainage catchments for pits and other structures in urban environments.
  • Use bathymetry and lake data to develop stage – area – volume relationships for reservoirs and lakes.
  • Chart a wide range of hydrologic attributes of subcatchments.
  • Visualise your project with 3D OpenGL graphics.
  • Export to GoogleEarth for powerful presentations.
  • Seamless integration with any external software via a macro language. Buit-in scripts allow creation of files compatible with a wide range of software.

TUFLOW Run Interface Manager (TRIM) is an application to help manage your TUFLOW model runs more efficiently.

  • Easily add any number of TUFLOW models to your queue.
  • Automatically run your models in sequence with any number of simultaneous runs (TUFLOW and TIRM license dependent)
  • Get Email or Skype messages when models finish
  • Add models and check status remotely via Skype
  • Simple progress bar and grid display allows rapid visualisation of model queue progress and model health
  • Easily test one or more models prior to running the entire queue.
  • Charts inflows, outflows and errors on the fly for each simulations.
  • Easy access to log files, key files and directories via right click menu.
