SuDS – Engineering Aspects: Introduction
Courses aimed at the Civil Engineering sector in Scotland
Provider
Scottish Civils Training Group, InvernessThis course is available on the Scottish Civils Training Group website.
Description
The course is based on “The SuDS Manual” published by CIRIA. 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. The course is aimed at the engineering aspects of SuDS design rather than the amenity and water quality aspects.
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
- determination 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
AIMS & OBJECTIVES:
The course will enable delegates to develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of sustainable drainage systems:
- 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
- Adoption and maintenance issues
- How to intergrate SuDS into urban layouts and the need for early engineer involvement
COURSE OUTLINE:
The course will comprise of sections on:
- Why SuDS?
