WinDes12

WinDes 12 by Micro Drainage Ltd is a Windows-based software suite for the design and analysis of stormwater and foul water drainage systems. Built for civil engineers, consultants, and approving authorities, it combines hydrology and hydraulic modeling to help you size pipes and storage, evaluate SuDS features, and demonstrate compliance with UK standards and local authority requirements. Users can build detailed pipe networks, apply design storms, simulate surcharge and flooding, optimize gradients and diameters, and produce long sections, schedules, and submission-ready reports for planning and adoption.

Key capabilities:

• Hydrology and rainfall-runoff calculations aligned with common UK practice
• Hydraulic simulation of pipe networks, manholes, culverts, and flow controls (orifices, weirs, pumps)
• SuDS/Source Control design for features such as basins, permeable paving, and soakaways
• Storage and attenuation sizing with optimization to meet discharge constraints
• Design checks for cover, velocities, surcharge, and freeboard against project criteria
• Clear outputs: plans, profiles, schedules, and approval-friendly reports
• Data exchange with common CAD/GIS workflows via standard formats

WinDes 12 streamlines drainage design from concept through approval, reducing iteration time while improving the traceability and quality of engineering decisions. If you need the description tailored to a specific sector, project type, or submission format, I can refine it further.

WinDes12 is developed by Micro Drainage Ltd. The most popular version of this product among our users is 12.5. The name of the program executable file is Channel.exe.
