Urban Drainage Design (Sustainable Drainage Systems SuDS)

Our Urban Drainage Design (Sustainable Drainage Systems SuDS) course will enable engineers and technicians to develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of sustainable drainage systems.

Designed for engineers, graduates and technician with an aptitude for mathematics, this course covers the engineering aspects of SuDS design, rather than the amenity and water quality aspects, and is based on the "The SuDS Manual" published by CIRIA.

Also available is our online course 'Urban Drainage Design (Piped Foul & Surface Water Systems)', which can be found online at www.symmonsmadge.co.uk.

SuDS are gradually attaining acceptance as the preferred method for draining surface water from new developments. For SuDS to operate correctly they require careful attention to the engineering aspects and an understanding of what problems can arise.

Delegates should finish the course understanding:

* Why SuDS are necessary
* The types of SuDS available and their uses
* What we mean by "the management train"
* Determining green field run-off (IH124)
* Simulating a rainfall event
* Setermination of infiltration rates
* How these rates are used in the design and sizing of infiltration devices
* How to calculate open channel flow capacities
* Methods for controlling surface water
* Adoption, maintenance and safety considerations

Requirements

Delegates to come equipped with a scientific calculator, pencil and scale rule. This course requires some mathematical ability.

You will learn

• Why SuDS is important on all new developments
• What is required of site investiagtions to BRE365
• What is involved in estimating green field run-off
• Open channel flow with reference to swales and how to size swales
• Adoption and maintenance issues, including who should maintain SuDS
• How to intergrate SuDS into urban layouts and the need for early engineer involvement
• What to expect from site investigations
