Municipal And Urban Storm Sewer Drainage Systems Design

Drainage engineering practices require cooperative efforts between various disciplines. 

This course is intended for practicing engineers, technicians and technologists and those concerned with the Municipal and Urban Drainage systems and Management of construction site erosion.

This 3-day workshop is intended for those who require better understanding of Municipal and Urban stormwater drainage systems design.

Under the instructor’s guidance, the participant will be expected to complete a storm water drainage system design by using first principle methods and/or design aids .

This design will cover the mechanisms affecting local erosion and losses at urban construction sites due to rainfall, nature of soil, and topographic factors.

Objective

• To understand the basics of municipal and urban storm water system design.

• To develop skills and capabilities of the participants to analyze new and existing stormwater drainage systems as well as to better develop the erosion control plans for construction sites.

• To learn the basics of the water resources engineering in terms of hydrologic principles including hydrologic cycle, precipitation data, stream flow Measurements and application of stream flow data, runoff, evaporation, transpiration, and groundwater.

• To learn applications to engineering problems related to groundwater yield, stream flow analysis and watershed Management.

• To introduce the participants to various, and conflicting, current runoff and drainage design Methods used in water resources engineering practice.

• To select the most appropriate design tool for different conditions.

• The use, design, and evaluation of Construction erosion devices, including sediment basins, will be stressed. Emphasis will also be placed on meeting Specific requirements of erosion control regulations.

Special Features 

You will receive comprehensive course notes with all design charts, graphs and data that will serve as reference for future use.

You will receive training on three of the top commercial software available in the market for the design of storm sewer systems (Storm CAD, Pond Pack for the design of drainage systems).
