Why is drainage design an important issue? This course provides an overview of drainage design and discusses why it is imperative that roadways, parking areas and buildings be designed with adequate precast storm drain inlets. Learn how to design precast storm drain systems to meet hydraulic considerations and comply with the guidelines of the Clean Water Act. Additional discussion will cover how to effectively market drainage designs to DOTs, municipalities and other end-users.

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Determine how hydrological analysis and hydraulic properties can affect the design of a precast storm inlet system, including both its functional abilities and environmental considerations
• Define the use of various grating and curb openings, and stormwater filter systems and how they affect the design of the precast storm inlet
• Identify additional precast products including precast wingwalls, concrete pipe, box culverts and concrete detention chambers that will aid structural and hydraulic requirements
