CivilGEO Testimonials

"What impresses me are the capabilities included with the GeoHECRAS software. For example, GeoHECRAS contains online mapping that allows us to immediately see our study site using Microsoft Bing and Google Maps. And, GeoHECRAS provides sophisticated GIS functionality that allows us to incorporate other GIS data directly into the HEC‑RAS model. We do not have to use other GIS software, such as ESRI’s ArcGIS, to preprocess data for HEC‑RAS. GeoHECRAS contains many of the GIS functionalities that we need to get up and running with a HEC‑RAS model. This saves us a lot of time since we do not have to struggle taking data back and forth between ArcGIS and HEC‑RAS. With GeoHECRAS, everything is inside one software program; you can do all of your work in one software program. Also, I am really impressed at how fast the floodplain mapping can be performed. It is significantly faster and easier to use than other software I have used. Finally, the technical support that is provided by CivilGEO is very much superior to what I have experienced with other vendors. They follow up call to make certain that our staff are able to utilize the software to its fullest extent. For example, their support engineers helped us by cleaning up some raw GIS data that we were provided by our survey consultants. This saved our staff a significant amount of work. To me, that is a kind of relationship that you would want to develop with a client."

"GeoHECRAS is very intuitive to use. The user interface is really easy and simple to master. I like the simplicity of being able to go from start to finish with my HEC-RAS modeling. For example, the automated cross section cutting is a real time saver. And, the ability to bring everything into a state plane coordinate system is extremely helpful. I am able to load AutoCAD drawing files directly into the software and construct HEC-RAS models. The software saves me a lot of time with my HEC-RAS modeling. I previously used the RiverCAD software for my HEC-RAS modeling, and GeoHECRAS is hands-down a much better software program. It is more user friendly, and has many more advanced features that saves me time in doing my HEC-RAS projects compared to the most advanced RiverCAD software that I previously used. I am very happy with the GeoHECRAS software."
