COURS.

APERÇU

After participating in this course, you will be able to do the following:

• solve common hydrology and hydraulic engineering problems
• employ latest techniques in hydrology and hydraulic design procedures
• apply various analysis methods to estimate flows in rivers and drainage infrastructure
• assess the design of streams and rivers, culverts, bridge openings, drainage facilities, and stormwater management structures

Description
Stormwater Management is a branch of engineering concerned with the study of water and the protection of people and property from the damaging effect of surface water.

The course was prepared for non-engineers and technicians who need a basic understanding of the three most commonly used branches of hydrotechnical engineering:

• Engineering hydrology
• Hydraulics of drainage infrastructure
• Drainage and stormwater management

This course provides the fundamentals without delving into complicated mathematical formulas. Lectures will include real-life examples and simple hands-on exercises and problem-solving.

Course Outline:

• Day 1- Hydrology and Hydraulics
• Introduction - Engineering Concepts
• Hydrologic Cycle
• Simplifications for ease of assessment
• River and Open Channel Hydraulics
• Hydraulic Structures
• Day 2- Land Drainage and Stormwater Management
• Why do we need stormwater management?
• Review of stormwater best management practices & role of stormwater management
• Drainage Design and Stormwater Management

Who Should Attend
Engineers and technologists not familiar with hydrotechnical engineering, such as:

• civil engineers
• mechanical engineers
• electrical engineers
• mining engineers
• chemical engineers
• agricultural engineers
• municipal engineers
• manufacturers of drainage products
• general contractors
• property managers
• directors of physical plants
• municipal building officials
• building inspectors
• field review personnel
• project engineers
• others who would like to know more about hydrotechnical systems or require a refresher

Requirements and Special Features
Participants are expected to have some elementary technical knowledge of engineering principles.
Notes will be provided in electronic format. Please have a standard engineering calculator with scientific functions, a laptop with Microsoft Windows, MS Excel spreadsheet, or equivalent. The course includes a comprehensive list of reference material available on the internet from government & non-government organizations.

FORMATEUR

Nav Sandhu, P.Eng.

Nav Sandhu, P.Eng., is a Senior Water Resources Engineer with 20 years of experience.

He has extensive experience in stormwater management and drainage planning and design throughout Canada, ranging from servicing /planning studies to detailed design of complex systems. His stormwater infrastructure design experience includes storm sewer systems, culverts, above and below-ground detention and water quality facilities, diversion structures, control and outfall structures, infiltration systems, rip-rap protection works, and instream rehabilitation works. He’s also experienced in base-flow augmentation, source control/rainwater management and other LID systems-relatively new techniques that support sustainable design.

His stormwater engineering knowledge, municipal development, and highway experience make him an excellent resource for a range of clients. He has also provided expert opinions and reports on legal proceedings related to drainage throughout BC.
