Surface Water Design

  • Assume runoff coefficient of 100% for roofs, roads (including verges) and other hard-standing areas. (2.6, 4)
  • Additional 10% increase to paved areas for future urban expansion. (2.6, 5)
  • Minimum velocity in sewers of 1 m/s at pipe-full flow. (2.6, 15)
  • Roughness value (Ks) for surface water sewer design of 0.6mm. (2.6, 17)
  • Minimum cover of 1.5 m for sewers laid in roads. (2.18, 1)
  • Minimum cover of 1.2 m for sewers not laid in the road. (2.18, 2)
  • Minimum size of a gravity sewer is to be 150 mm internal diameter. (2.19, 1)

 Complete the pipe design in System 1. System 1 allows additional percentage in Global Variables and the powerful optimise function allows you to design to meet all the necessary criteria.
