Introduction
Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) make a vital contribution to
managing local flood risk and water quality as well as providing
opportunities for biodiversity and amenity in new developments and
redevelopments. SuDS are required in all new major developments and
awareness by practitioners and regulators and their implementation is
steadily increasing. Over time knowledge and experience has improved and
it’s important that this good practice is shared to promote improved
understanding and high quality SuDS that deliver multiple benefits.
Who should attend?
This engaging course will be relevant to civil/drainage engineers,
landscape architects, architects and flood risk managers working in
client, consulting or contracting organisations, developers, local
authorities, highway authorities, sewerage undertakers, environmental
regulators and manufacturers and suppliers.
Why should you attend?
- keep up-to-date with current legislation and requirements of regulatory authorities
- learn current design approaches
- understand key objectives and principles learning how to apply the SuDS approach using real life case studies
- learn how to design SuDS for difficult sites such as high density housing or contaminated industrial sites
- learn how to design SuDS that are robust and require low maintenance, and are safe
- benefit from and share experiences and knowledge with our expert
trainers (a landscape architect and engineer) and the other delegates
- obtain CPD accreditation by attending a nationally recognised SuDS training course.
CPD
This course has a value of 12 hours towards your CPD. Certificates will be sent to delegates following completion.
Course content
Day 1 SuDS design
- SuDS principles refresher
- The SuDS Design process - considering the key aspects of concept and outline SuDS design
- Estimating flows and storage requirements for SuDS. Overview and
insight into analysis of green and brownfield runoff; simply defining
required storage for design; requirements for betterment on
redevelopment sites; suitable calculation tolerances and designing for
exceedance.
- Worked example - developing an outline SuDS design with
detailed considerations of subcatchment definition, flow route analysis,
sizing of flow controls, placement / regulation of storage hierarchy,
defining requirements for treatment and SuDS component selection.
Day 2 SuDS design
- Water quality
- Designing for amenity and safety
- Worked examples - detailed design considerations and worked processes for permeable pavement, swales, pond and wetland design.
- Open forum discussion on key issues for the delegates
- Managing SuDS and key maintenance considerations
- Case study - demonstrating how SuDS can be applied in a high density residential setting
Requirements
Delegates should already have completed CIRIA’s SuDS foundation course or be familiar with the drivers and benefits as well as the SuDS components and basic principles. Delegates should also be comfortable with basic maths and working in groups for course exercises.
