Urban Drainage Design Workshop

This two day workshop provides a detailed introduction to urban roadway drainage design.

Design guidance for solving basic problems encountered in urban roadway drainage design is provided. The topics are hydrology including rational equation, soil conservation method, regression equations, and synthetic hydrographs; and highway drainage including gutter flow, roadway inlet interception, storm drain systems, energy and hydraulic grade lines, detention ponds, and stormwater management.

 

By participating in this workshop, you will focus on the practical application of sound planning, design, construction and maintenance practices for highway drainage systems. The designed components include storm water facilities design, open channels and culverts. An understanding of the hydrological and hydraulic principles that underlie practical design will also be developed. Hands on working examples will be presented to demonstrate in very practical terms the pros and cons of alternative strategies, the pitfalls that can be avoided, and the design features that characterize successful installations. The uniqueness of this workshop is its emphasis on hands on exercises for designing the various components of highway drainage systems. You leave with the confidence that not only you understand the concepts but also you can apply the knowledge to your projects.

 

Objective: 

To provide participants with a working knowledge of current methods for designing effective highway drainage systems that minimize their construction and maintenance cost, with an overview of installation and maintenance practices and procedures.

This workshop will benefit anyone involved with the construction, design or design review of highway drainage systems, street, highway and storm water detention systems. Including municipal, geotechnical, structural, road, drainage, mining and forestry engineers, developers, planners, consultants, supervisors, and other technical personnel responsible for drainage facilities, open channels and culverts.
