Madison, WI, August 03, 2022 - CivilGEO^[1], a leading provider of civil engineering software, today released the latest version of GeoHECHMS^[2], a stormwater modeling software that greatly speeds up the creation, analysis, and review of stormwater models. GeoHECHMS Version 1.2 greatly simplifies the creation of storage areas (i.e., lakes and ponds), computes critical storm thresholds and allows the user to import and export HydroCAD projects. This latest release provides key new features, updates, and bug fixes.

GeoHECHMS^[3] is an AutoCAD, MicroStation, and ESRI ArcGIS compatible interactive 2D/3D graphical user interface data wrapper to the US Army Corps of Engineers HEC-HMS stormwater software. It allows the user to quickly compare different scenarios and alternatives, juxtaposing pre-development conditions with a variety of post-development designs. The GeoHECHMS software can rapidly construct, design, analyze and compare detention and retention ponds.

“With the release of GeoHECHMS V 1.2, civil engineers can speed up their stormwater projects with automated workflows. GeoHECHMS offers users the freedom to work simultaneously on multiple HEC-HMS models, realizing new levels of efficiency and productivity.” said Chris Maeder, Engineering Director at CivilGEO.

Des Plaines, IL (August 5, 2022) The URISA Exemplary Systems in Government (ESIG) awards were first presented in 1981 to recognize outstanding achievement by government agencies in the use of geospatial information technology. This exemplary achievement is defined as the effective application of geospatial technologies and data that result in improved government service delivery and increased benefits to citizens. The award competition is international in nature and open to all public agencies at the local, regional, state/provincial and federal levels.

Nominations are made in one of two categories: Enterprise Systems which are used by multiple agencies, and Single Process Systems which are used by one agency.  Nominations are required to address specific award criteria associated with system design and implementation, organizational impact and use of resources to create the system. 

A volunteer ESIG Awards Committee is formed each year to handle the entry judging tasks and this year there were 14 people serving on the committee.  They were:  Dianne Haley (chair); Alice Wilson; Asher McNicol; Curtis Pulford; Eva Cancino; Ian Kidner; John Nerge; Julie Mikolajczyk; Kristen Johnston; LeiLani Paugh; Nicole Dogan; Patrick Baber; Rachel Parrinello (Associate Chair); and Chris George.  URISA extends its thanks to the committee members for the time and effort they have put into the judging of this year’s ESIG submissions.

Geneq Inc Announces the SXblue SMART, the newest addition to the GNSS smart antenna line!

In an effort to constantly improve its geomatics and surveying product offering, Geneq Inc. has just released the SXblue SMART to meet the requirements of professionals  looking for accuracy and flexibility for field work.

The SXblue SMART features a GNSS engine capable of tracking all-in-view GNSS signals with high speed, saving time on the field. In addition, its mechanism and antenna design are at the forefront of interference mitigation technology and optimize its ability to handle a wide frequency band.

Weighing only 850g including battery, the SXblue SMART is a compact receiver that elegantly combines the accuracy, ruggedness and maneuverability needed for the most active surveying professional. Indeed, its layered design and integrated components are the basis for its performance and ergonomy. The surveyor will appreciate its radio link thanks to the Farlink protocol that allows a range up to 8km. This performance is achievable while keeping a large bandwidth useful for the transmission of RTK data.

In addition to the well-known tilt sensor for measurements in hard-to-reach places, the SXblue SMART features a high-performance attitude measurement module that can detect and measure the movement of the device. Also, its integrated inertial measurement unit adds a unique feature for even...

Toronto, Ontario – 2^nd August 2022 – Horizon Aircraft Inc. (“ Company” or “ Horizon”), an innovative leader in hybrid electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) aerial vehicles, today announced that it has successfully completed the construction of its innovative 50%-scale “Cavorite X5” prototype. Horizon’s innovative approach and technology allows the aircraft to fly 98% of its mission in a very low-drag configuration like a traditional aircraft. Flying most of the time as a normal aircraft is also safer and should make the aircraft easier to certify than radical new eVTOL designs. The full-scale aircraft will also be powered by a hybrid electric system that can recharge the battery array in-flight while providing additional system redundancy. Comprehensive testing of this 50%-scale aircraft will reduce technical risk moving forward as Horizon continues development of its full-scale aircraft.

Brandon Robinson, CEO of Horizon Aircraft said, “with a 22-foot wingspan, 15 feet in length, and capable of speeds over 250 km/hr, this 50%-scale prototype is an impressive aircraft. Furthermore, it will yield valuable information that will help to reduce technical risk as we move forward with detailed design of our full-scale aircraft.”

Horizon Aircraft will continue with rigorous testing of its 50%-scale prototype...
