Rating curves, river surveys and HEC-RAS models

Flood levels are only as good as the rating curve and the cross-sections behind them. We process ADCP gaugings, update rating curves and survey datums, and build calibrated 1D and 2D HEC-RAS models. KAI-River, in development, will keep every survey in one shared database.

The challenge

Cross-sections, ADCP gaugings and rating curves are collected by different teams in different formats, and rebuilt by hand every time a hydraulic model is needed.

Our solution

We process ADCP discharge, update rating curves and survey datums, and build calibrated 1D and 2D HEC-RAS models. KAI-River, now in development, keeps every cross-section and gauging in one shared database and exports straight to HEC-RAS.

Who it is for: Water authorities, consultants, developers near rivers

Who it is for

Water authorities, consultants, developers near rivers

Why it works
  • Rating curves you can trust
  • Models built faster from clean data
  • One database for every survey
  • Flood lines for planning and design
