COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date knowledge of Building Sanitary and Stormwater Design. It covers the key differences between sanitary and stormwater drainage; the importance in residential, commercial and industrial buildings, system components and impacts of improper design and failures; the sanitary drainage system components, stormwater drainage system components, flow types, relevant codes and design standards and design goals and principles; the fixture units and load calculations, piping layout and sizing, ventilation system design, drainage stack and building drain design; and the sanitary manholes and inspection points and special installations (grease, sewage, pumping).  

During the course, participants will learn the rainfall and runoff calculations, roof and surface drainage systems, site drainage and grading principles and stormwater conveyance system; the underground stormwater infrastructure, flood prevention and water quality, hydraulic principles for drainage design, software tools and modeling techniques and material selection and piping technologies; the installation practices and best guidelines, access and maintenance considerations and fire and building code coordination; the integration with other building systems, green infrastructure and sustainable drainage; the construction challenges and solutions; and the inspection, testing and commissioning.
