Anticipate flooding risks or drainage issues before they cause delays or added cost

Keep your projects moving with clear, up-to-date insights into rainfall, runoff and drainage.

hydrology drainage for construction sites

Understand your site’s drainage patterns

Visualize water flow patterns, drainage patterns, and flood levels so you can take proactive action. Identify construction site water management issues before they cause erosion or equipment damage and prove environmental compliance with catchment area regulations.

Stay ahead of water risks before they cost you

Poor drainage patterns and unexpected flooding can bring work to a halt. Prepare, prevent, and protect your worksite with Propeller’s flood risk analysis tools.

Analyse surface runoff on site

Get accurate surface runoff visualisations for your site with Propeller.

Predict with precision

Make informed decisions early and protect your site from avoidable delays.

Stay compliant with regulations

Document compliance with environmental compliance plans, drainage regulations, water management plans, environmental permitting, site water control, and flood risk assessments—without extra work.

Simulate surface runoff to prevent erosion

  • See how water will flow across your site during rainfall, spills, or major storms
  • Flag areas prone to pooling, flooding, or erosion risks
  • Plan better drainage patterns to prevent downtime or structural damage using runoff simulation
Features
  • Surface runoff
  • Direct rainfall simulator
  • Flood to level

“We started using Propeller to capture weekly project photos for the client and track waste material quantities as we reprofiled the landfill. By modeling the existing site, we could compare it to the final design, track cut/fill balance, and monitor progress throughout the project.”

– Jonathan Wills, Director at Wills Bros
