Course Description:

'' Surface water culverts are among the most common drainage structures in the UK but their design is frequently a mystery to most Civil Engineers. Culverts must be adequately sized to carry design flows; constructed to avoid adverse effects on watercourse wildlife; and be economical. This course is based on CIRIA Report 168, "Culvert Design Guide", and is aimed at the non-specialist Design Engineer.



Learning Outcomes:
Delegates should finish the course with an understanding of how to assess flows in watercourses; be able to size culverts for those flows; be able to undertake the hydraulic design of inlet and outlet structures; and assess the capacity of existing culverts. They will also have an understanding of the environmental requirements of culvert design. Examples of good and not so good practice will be given.

Aims and Objectives:
The course will enable delegates to develop a deeper understanding of the hydraulic behaviour of culverts, and they should be able to:

Assess the watercourse flows in small catchments
Determine the size of new culverts
Appreciate the different types of culvert structures available
Appreciate the different types of culvert structures available
Determine the capacity of existing culverts

Course Outline:
The course will comprise:

Hydraulic characteristics of culverts
The design process
Good design practice
Data collection and conceptual design
Design of new culverts
Assessment of existing culvert capacity
