With our software Visdom, we simulate the course of storms and extreme weather events. From the first second a raindrop falls from the sky, we can track its path in every Austrian community: where it falls, how it flows, where it might cause damage. From this, we are able to determine what possibilities there are for precaution and protection. In our digital simulation, we run through various scenarios and identify endangered buildings, damage-prone infrastructure and critical points in a community. On this basis, crisis measures, protection plans and even more importantly, preventive steps can be derived. In many cases, simple structural measures are enough to prevent damage. This can be, for example, a road built 20 cm higher or mobile barriers at the critical points for water retention.
Benefits
"The visualizations from the flood runoff simulations with Visdom have contributed significantly to the presentation of the hazard picture in an understandable way and to make the possible course of flooding visible, but also to the recognition of the possibilities and limits of defence measures. The clear and concise 3D representations were a great help, especially for those responsible in the communities."

We offer
With our software Visdom we simulate an emergency for you. Based on your data (e.g. cadastre, terrain model, sewer network) we create a digital copy of your community and play through various scenarios. It is possible to track exactly where streams overflow and canals waste water
and when houses and businesses are threatened. But we can also simulate countermeasures such as sandbag dams, mobile walls or retention rooms and their effects. We simulate the worst case so that you don't have to experience it.
Based on these results
All this is tailored to the specific needs, challenges and wishes of your community.
Costs
The costs depend on the size of the municipality, the level of detail and the depth of elaboration of the calculations and scenarios, but also on the availability of data (cadastre, terrain model, etc.). First consultations in the run-up to the simulation, with on-site analysis as well as first risk warnings, are available from 800 Euros. First simulations are available from several thousand euros.

For many years we have been dealing with all aspects of hydrodynamic modelling. With our software Visdom we can model different scenarios and also offer this as a service.
Visdom's hydrodynamic simulations provide precise water level predictions at any point on a water surface in the "PegelAlarm" app.
The HORA 3 project focuses on flood modelling for all rivers and streams in Austria. The results are detailed flood risk maps for different annual periods.
