Introduction
Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) make a vital contribution to managing local flood risk and water quality whilst providing opportunities for biodiversity and amenity. The Greater Dublin Strategic Drainage Study was introduced in 2005 which mandated the requirement for SuDS in the Greater Dublin region. Many emerging County Development Plans across Ireland are also pushing strongly for the integration of SuDS as part of new development, through the introduction of policies for SuDS which are nature based. Over time knowledge and experience has improved and this training will share the latest good practice in the delivery of high quality multi-benefits SuDS.
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 informative and interactive 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.

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.
SuDS design
