Carlson Natural
Regrade software provides a
natural, cost effective method to bring sustainability to disturbed
lands,
whether altered from mining or development.
Utilizing the GeoFluvTM method for landform design, Carlson Natural
Regrade minimizes material
handling, erosion, and creates sustainable lands.
Carlson Natural
Regrade with GeoFluv™ applies fluvial geomorphic principles to upland
landform design. This unique Carlson 2010 module helps you to create a landscape design that mimics the functions
of the natural landscape that would have naturally evolved over time. The
result is a stable hydrologic equilibrium ... naturally.
The U. S. Department of the Interior's Office of Surface Mining (OSM),
Reclamation and Enforcement has identified Carlson Natural Regrade as a
'TIPS Core Software'. See this news release for full details. For more detailed information about Natural Regrade
and GeoFluv, call or email Nicholas Bugosh, 970-631-4190 or nbugosh@carlsonsw.com. |
Carlson Natural Regrade was awarded
a Silver Award in the Services  Category of Intermat's award series. The awards ceremony was held during the 2009 Intermat, April 20 to 25 in Paris, France. Intermat is one of the world’s largest trade shows for the construction industry.
In addition to Natural Regrade running on top of any
AutoCAD® or Map® versions 2000, up to and including 2010,
Natural Regrade also comes with built-in IntelliCAD®
-- a robust, DWG-compatible CAD platform that every CAD developer can
build upon for no extra cost with every license of Carlson products.
Natural Regrade is something new happening
in landform design. It’s the future. It’s natural. It's sustainable. Be a part of it.

The
essence of the GeoFluv™ approach is to identify the type of drainage
network, i.e., stream channels and valleys, which would tend to form
over a long time given the site’s earth materials, relief, and climate
to achieve a stable landform, and to design and build that landform.
The resulting slopes and stream channels are stable because they are in
balance with these conditions. They are a reclamation alternative to
uniform slopes with terraces and down-drains. Rather than fight the
natural forces that shape the land, GeoFluv™ helps the user create a
landscape that harmonizes with these forces.
