Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The company said that it will integrate Boss’ StormNET for stormwater management analysis, RiverCAD for floodplain analysis, and WaterNET for water distribution analysis with Autodesk’s model-based design solutions, including AutoCAD Civil 3D, to help engineers streamline workflows, reduce errors and boost productivity.

Autodesk said that the environmental engineering and water and wastewater utility markets have recently experienced an uptick due in large part to economic stimulus spending.
