Comprehensive Review of Culvert, Open Channel and Storm Sewer Design
Course Description
Changes in land use affect urban drainage and, therefore, present challenges for engineers who must deal with drainage planning, runoff analysis, storm sewer hydraulics, and watercourse drainage within the government regulations. The course focuses on these topics, providing participants with a comprehensive understanding of culvert, open channel, and storm sewer design, and allowing designers already in the field to update their knowledge.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?

The course will also address the use of computer software for design work. 

    • consider technical issues in design by focusing on related planning and environmental impact
    • enhance protection of property from flood damage and reduce pollution at a lower cost
    • select computer software that is most suitable for your application of urban drainage design
    • participate in public consultation meetings with confidence
    • employ design methodology learned in the course on your next project for urban drainage
Training Objective

After participating in this course you will be able to do the following:

    • To increase participants’ knowledge of the design process and design tools used in urban drainage
    • To discuss the future of computer-aided design in urban drainageMunicipal engineers; developers; planners; consultants; hydraulic engineers; technicians and technologists; and other technical personnel responsible for drainage facilities, underground pipe systems, inlets, culverts, and catch basins. This course is particularly suitable for those who want a comprehensive review of drainage design methods.
