Tasks like merging DEMs, generating elevation profiles, or building HEC-RAS floodplain surfaces are completed in half the time. The software integrates LiDAR surveying data, NLCD Land Cover data, and FEMA Flood maps directly into AutoCAD, MicroStation, or ArcGIS workflows. GeoHECRAS is used for river modeling, 1D and 2D hydraulic modeling, dam breach analysis, and HEC-RAS bridge modeling, along with complex floodplain encroachment studies—all with built-in reporting and reduced external GIS dependency. * * * Product Website GeoHECRAS Seller [CivilGEO, Inc.](https://www.g2.com/sellers/civilgeo-inc) Discussions [GeoHECRAS Community](https://www.g2.com/products/geohecras/discuss) Languages Supported English Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by Chris Maeder (Engineering Director at CivilGEO Engineering Software) Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Perceived Cost $$$$$ [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/geohecras/pricing) ## GeoHECRAS Integrations (7) What do users say about integrations?

Engineering Intern Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 12/20/2024 "GeoHECRAS 2D" 4/5 What do you like best about GeoHECRAS? GeoHECRAS is great for modelling drainage areaws and complex floodplains, and the integration of GIS and mapping features make it far more user friendly than HEC-RAS on its own. Being able to import files from Google Earth and CAD also make it super simple to take areas and survey data you already have available and keep them in one place. The program is also super intuitive, with features being located exactly where you'd expect. Our team uses it nearly everyday. When there are crashes or bugs, it is really easy to get help from CivilGeo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GeoHECRAS? There is a bit of a learning curve to GeoHECRAS, and it does have a tendency to crash from time to time and can have an extremely long boot up time if you make the file too large. Some features are only available to the USA, with no Canadian option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GeoHECRAS solving and how is that benefiting you? It is helping us with the creation of drainage areas, and mapping out land use in a more detailed way than free tools like OWIT are able to. The high quality arial imagery is very useful for identifying land use, and the ability to make polygons of different colours and groupings makes it easy to see the sizes of the areas.

Civil Project Designer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 12/9/2024 "An Outstanding Tool for Hydraulic Modeling" 4/5 What do you like best about GeoHECRAS? GeoHECRAS has been a game-changer for my hydraulic modeling projects. One of the standout features is how easy it is to use. The intuitive interface and efficient workflows make it simple to set up and execute both 1D and 2D models, even for complex scenarios. The software excels in helping me create high-quality graphics and visualizations. Whether it’s detailed cross-sections, floodplain maps, or 3D animations, GeoHECRAS produces professional-grade visuals that are incredibly useful for presenting results to stakeholders and clients. I also appreciate the tutorial videos, which are clear, concise, and cover all the essential features. These resources make it easy to learn the software quickly and maximize its potential, whether you’re a new user or looking to refine your skills. Finally, the customer service deserves special recognition. The team is responsive, knowledgeable, and always ready to help answer questions or troubleshoot issues. It’s clear they’re committed to ensuring users have a smooth experience. With its combination of user-friendliness, powerful modeling capabilities, exceptional graphics, and reliable support, GeoHECRAS is an essential tool for anyone involved in hydraulic modeling. I highly recommend it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GeoHECRAS? It's easy to break the model and have it throw errors, so being familiar with the inputs is important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GeoHECRAS solving and how is that benefiting you? GeoHECRAS has been instrumental in addressing several critical business problems in my hydraulic modeling projects. One of the primary ways it helps is by reducing project time and improving efficiency. The intuitive interface and user-friendly tools allow me to quickly create accurate 1D and 2D models, saving valuable time without compromising on quality. The ability to generate high-quality graphics and visualizations is another major advantage. With GeoHECRAS, I can produce professional-looking floodplain maps, cross-sections, and 3D animations that make it easier to communicate results to stakeholders. This clarity helps foster trust, supports better decision-making, and ensures clients are satisfied with the deliverables. The software also tackles regulatory compliance challenges. By streamlining the modeling and reporting processes, GeoHECRAS ensures that my projects meet local, state, and federal standards for hydraulic and floodplain analysis. This reduces the risk of delays and avoids costly revisions due to non-compliance. Another problem GeoHECRAS addresses is collaboration and stakeholder engagement. With clear, visually engaging outputs, I can present complex data in an easily understandable format. This helps facilitate discussions, gain approvals, and move projects forward more effectively. Finally, the tutorial videos and exceptional customer service help eliminate learning curve barriers. When questions arise, the responsive support team is always ready to help, ensuring I stay productive and on track. Overall, GeoHECRAS is not just a software tool—it’s a comprehensive solution that drives efficiency, accuracy, and client satisfaction in hydraulic modeling projects.

Civil Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/19/2025 "Civil Geo is an easy way to do floodplain modeling with wonderful customer service!" 4.5/5 What do you like best about GeoHECRAS? Overall I think Civil GEO is a great program that is highly intuitive bringing lots of different civil engineering software together into one easy to use format. Civil GEO is the best program out there to do large scale hydrologic analysis with ease. Its interface allows the user to pull multiple sources of data into to one program allowing a complete picture to be put together in short amount of time. I would recommend it to any company or individual that has to do floodplain modeling on a consistent basis or wants to expand past simple HEC RAS analysis and add detail and complexing to their project from multiple data sources. P.S. the customer service is second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GeoHECRAS? My biggest complaint about Civil GEO is it is not fully geared for small site design (less than 100 acres). It seems to be a program leaning towards large scale modeling and can not fit all of the high level accuracy I would need for small site design like designing an intricate storm network. A suggestion would be to add the ability to bring pipe networks from civil 3d into Civil GEO. I would also like to see more tutorial videos on how to model small watershed, roadway culverts, and detention basins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GeoHECRAS solving and how is that benefiting you? Geo HECRAS gave me the ability to do floodplain modeling with multiple sources of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The amount of data source types that GeoHECRAS allows a user to pull into a modeling file is what makes this software a most have for hydraulic engineers and the firms they work for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GeoHECRAS? I do not have any specific dislikes of the software at this time. The financial cost is the major reason many of my colleagues in other firms do not use this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GeoHECRAS solving and how is that benefiting you? Time is the many reasoning that I use GeoHECRAS.
