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.

This course has been developed to complement CIRIA's SuDS guidance - The SuDS Manual (C753). The training programme will enable practitioners to efficiently plan, design, construct and manage SuDS schemes.

Who should attend
This engaging course is designed for those that are new to SuDS requiring an overview of the aims, benefits and the components. It will also explain the SuDS philosophy and main objectives.

The training will be relevant to clients, consulting engineers, local authorities, highway authorities, developers, sewerage  undertakers, landscape architects, contractors, planners, architects, environmental regulators and manufacturers and suppliers.

Why attend
  • learn about design approaches and how to integrate SuDS into different types of development including urban situations
  • understand the main design requirements from the SuDS Manual and legislation
  • understand how to design SuDS around specific site constraints for challenging sites, such as contaminated ground or sloping sites.
  • share experiences and knowledge with our expert trainers and other delegates
  • obtain CPD accreditation by attending a nationally recognised SUDS training course.
    CPD
    This course has a value of 6 hours towards your CPD. Certificates will be sent to delegates following completion.
