Holiday coziness with stories from all around the world
- Use cases
This winter season, whenever you find a quiet moment, take some time to explore how Scalgo Live is making a difference around the world.
From Australia to East Africa, and from the United States to South Asia. We’ve selected a few stories for you that show how Scalgo Live is being used all across the world.
1. Designing the drainage of an African railway
A new railway line was being planned in East Africa, stretching across varied and challenging terrain. To design the stormwater drainage along the railway, hydroengineer Wojciech Korona, Technical Director at HydroBIM, turned to Scalgo Live. It gave him a clear view of how water would move across the landscape and helped him shape a drainage plan that fits the local conditions.

2. Flood resilience planning in rural Bangladesh
In northern Bangladesh, where the mighty Brahmaputra River flows, flooding is a constant threat. Benjamin Holm from the International Water and Climate Resilience Department at Ramboll used Scalgo Live to support the development of flood resilience strategies for the cities of Islampur and Gaibandha.
3. Water management strategies for solar farms in Australia and Ireland
Large solar farms were being planned in Ireland and Australia, each needing a solid understanding of local surface water conditions. To guide this work, Water Resources Engineer Santiago Galante, Team Lead at European Energy, used Scalgo Live to develop flood risk assessments and shape surface water management strategies for each site.

4. Flood resilience master planning in the Boston Harbor
The Cathleen Stone Island Outward Bound School, located on a Boston Harbor island, faces challenges during storm events, as students' journey to class turns into a lesson about flood hazards. The Conceptual Modernization Masterplan, led by engineers at Arup, seeks to mitigate flood risk while using these conditions as learning opportunities.
