Introduction

Novapoint Waterway is the most complete software for water engineering projects. Navigational waterways, rivers and estuaries rehabilitation and ports and harbours earthworks design can be facilitated with Novapoint Waterway.

Software brings user all the way to the final presentation of the design, from the initialization of a project, through all the design steps. Combining the powerful channel geometry and modelling tools as well as analysis functions with the knowledge of the waterway designers makes Novapoint Waterway a highly efficient and user-friendly design concept.

Novapoint Waterway is a professional design tool with the main focus on navigational waterway design. The module is also used for excavated canal and trench design. Dredging and dredged material disposal site design can be efficiently conducted with Novapoint Waterway as well.

The module is a versatile tool-kit for high-end designers, but with a user-friendly and easy-to-learn user interface. The close connection and the similarities between the road design tools and Novapoint Waterway makes this module easy to learn by Novapoint Road users. User specifications of design parameters have been created in a flexible way.

Novapoint Waterway is suitable for all project phases:

• Feasibility studies
• Preliminary design
• Detail design

The module is designed with special focus to guidelines by The International Navigation Association (PIANC) and International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA). All calculation formulas used in the software are internationally recognized waterway engineering standards.
