Halcrow has released a standalone ISIS FAST product which no longer requires an ISIS Professional or ISIS 2D licence to run.
ISIS FAST is an innovative flood inundation modelling tool designed to allow quick assessment of flooding using simplified hydraulics. It provides results in seconds or minutes as opposed to hours or days, which is up to 1,000 times faster than traditional two-dimensional models.
The key features of ISIS FAST include:
- rapidly estimates flood extents and depths from many sources of flooding, including coastal, fluvial, surface water and sewer flooding
- pluvial flood mapping and risk assessments at local, regional and national scales
- real-time flood mapping when linked to forecast rainfall
- used in conjunction with more detailed modelling software, such as ISIS Professional and ISIS 2D
- can remove the cost of some detailed modelling by identifying the flood risk hot spots where detailed analysis is needed
- can be used in probabilistic analysis frameworks
- can test solutions that protect people, property, critical infrastructure and the urban environment
Users can purchase a standalone ISIS FAST licence from just £4,950+VAT. Existing ISIS users are still able to purchase the FAST solver for ISIS Professional or ISIS 2D for £3,950+VAT.
