BOSS International Joins Autodesk’s Independent Software Vendor Program
BOSS International, a developer of civil engineering hydrology and hydraulic software, has been named an authorized Autodesk Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Partner.
“We are extremely happy to be working closely with Autodesk,” said Chris Maeder, Managing Director at BOSS International. “This partnership ensures that our software integrates seamlessly with Autodesk’s AutoCAD, Land Desktop, Civil3D, and Map3D products.”
One of BOSS International’s products, RiverCAD, completely automates HEC-RAS hydraulic modeling within AutoCAD, Land Desktop, Civil3D, and Map3D. Users can quickly develop a HEC-RAS model within minutes, cut river cross sections, and generate bridge reports and floodplain maps using an AutoCAD base drawing. End users report an order of magnitude productivity increase compared with other engineering methods.
“By utilizing Autodesk’s well established CAD interface, engineers can quickly complete a HEC-RAS project in a minimal amount of time,” continues Maeder. “We are very proud of our RiverCAD application. Participating in Autodesk’s ISV program ensures that we can continue to offer cutting edge products that are in step with the marketplace.”
Maeder concluded by saying, “A strong partnership with Autodesk is an integral part of our business strategy. Not only are we committed to improving RiverCAD, but we are also working to integrate our other civil engineering products into the Autodesk Civil3D environment.”

Flooding costs associated with extreme weather, both financial and emotional, have increased considerably over the last decade, and experts have predicted this trend is set to continue.
Paul Livett, Chairman of GroundSure looks into how increasing the use of flood risk information in property transactions can help to ensure both residential and commercial transactions are conducted on a truly informed basis, with buyers being made aware of environmental risks prior to purchase.
Over 2.2 million homes and small businesses in the UK are located in areas considered at risk of flooding, and the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has said that 570,000 of these face a high risk of flooding. The floods in June and July last year left approximately 48,000 households… More…
