About us...
Alan A. Smith Inc. is a software development company established
in 1978.
We began as a consulting engineering service in the areas of urban
hydrology studies and stormwater management design. In 1985, we
expanded into engineering software development and commercialized the
MIDUSS software.
MIDUSS software evolved
from a need for a design tool that would embody the same simple design
approach of the rational method with modern techniques for
hydrological analysis and hydraulic design.
Since its first release in, MIDUSS
has become the program of choice by consultants, educators and
approval agencies in Canada. These groups of users find MIDUSS
attractive for the following reasons:
- Consultants use MIDUSS
to design stormwater systems quickly and easily and provide a
competitive edge.
- Educators find the range of modelling options in MIDUSS
a valuable aid in teaching hydrological principals and show the
sensitivity of results to the selection of modelling methods and
parameter values.
- Approval agencies value MIDUSS
as an easily remembered procedure for checking and comparing
submissions using alternate software tools.
