Key Features of GISpipe

1. Integrated GIS + Hydraulic Modeling

GISpipe combines Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with the proven analytical engines of EPANET (for water distribution) and SWMM (for sewerage and stormwater) into a single platform.

• No need for third-party GIS software such as AutoCAD or ArcView
• Native spatial data integration streamlines your workflow
• Map-based modeling interface simplifies network visualization and updates

2. Intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI)

GISpipe is designed for engineers and planners—not just programmers.

• Drag-and-drop design with real-time map feedback
• Simple toolbars and logical workflows reduce the learning curve
• Visual error-checking and result interpretation directly on the map

3. Efficient Data Management and Editing Tools

Save time with smart data management:

• Built-in tools for data import/export, cleaning, and validation
• Features like undo/redo, batch editing, pipe splitting/merging, and node adjustment
• Seamless integration of attribute data (e.g., demand, elevation, pipe material)

4. Fast and Accurate Simulation

Leverage powerful hydraulic and hydrologic simulations:

• High-speed performance even for large networks
• Accurate hydraulic calculations using industry-standard algorithms
• Visual results display: pressures, flows, velocities, headlosses, water age, and more

5. One-Stop Solution

GISpipe eliminates the need for multiple tools:

• Design, analyse, and optimize water and stormwater/sewer systems in a single environment
• Easily switch between EPANET and SWMM workflows depending on your project
• Ideal for municipalities, consultants, and utility operators

6. Project Planning and Lifecycle Management

Plan beyond hydraulics:

• GISpipe helps assess design alternatives, compare scenarios, and support asset management
• Export results and reports for documentation and decision-making
• Useful for both greenfield designs and rehabilitation projects

7. Localised Support and Training

As your local distributor, we offer:

• Technical support, guidance, and training tailored to South African needs
• Access to updates, manuals, and community best practices
• Ongoing collaboration to maximize the value of your investment in GISpipe
