What will you learn?

Course attendees will gain a detailed understanding of:

  • Flood hydrology and its application in South Africa;

  • Surface drainage (backwater calculations, run-off from roads kerbs, discharge channels, chutes and pipes);
  • Lesser -, major culverts and bridges (what’s the difference);
  • Storm water systems and flood routing;
  • Assessing existing drainage structures (new design philosophy);
  • What the true value of maintenance is; and
  • Preparing and approval of documents and drawings for drainage structures (what is expected of the designer).
