Client Feedback
Here’s what they say about Haestad methods….
“Haestad Methods is a first class organization, and they really took an interest in ensuring
that we were getting the most out of using our WaterGEMS software.”
Texarkana Water Utilities
“The software helped the students bridge the gap between the principles they learned in
earlier courses and real projects they can see every day driving to school.”
Mississippi State University
“Our WaterCAD model gave us an excellent understanding of our system, so we were able
to make good decisions and have a fast reaction time.”
Los Alamos County Utilities
“Using scenarios and reporting tools, SewerCAD was able to thematically display the
hotspots in the system. Then, the automated design tools let us develop augmentations to
resolve the bottlenecks. It was a real time saver for us.”
Brisbane Water (Australia)
“Haestad Methods should be commended for putting together a workshop of this quality.
This course should be mandatory for anyone modeling water systems.”
Advanced Engineering
“Using your product has helped us to quickly and accurately review various alternatives, so
we may provide our customers with a quality yet economical design.”
RDK Engineering Inc
“Technical software is only as good as its technical support-Haestad excels at both.”
Elliot & Garver
Bentley Systems serves hundreds-of-thousands of clients worldwide.
