CPD Course
Design Considerations for Channel Drainage Systems
Engineers Ireland Accredited
Our free CPD presentations are held online, allowing you and your colleagues to join remotely.
To book a CPD, all you need to do is let us know a date that is available for your team and we will do the rest.

Learning objectives
The presentations have been designed in conjunction with the Hauraton and cover the following areas:
Material selection
Capacity
Hydraulic Design
SuDS
Applications
Case Studies
Galco has been closely involved with designing surface water drainage systems in partnership with consulting engineers for many years. Regulations such as EU Water Framework Directive and the Greater Dublin Regional Code of Practice have made it more important than ever hat these designs are given careful consideration and take into account such issues as

Geographical location
Greenfield runoff
Impermeability of the soil
Catchment area
Surface types
Topographical survey
Control of pollutants
Rainfall data
Climate change
Local water table levels
Load classifications
Percentage surface permeability
Outflow restrictions
Groundwater vulnerability
Galco provides Drainage Presentations for specifiers. These offer further advice on the issues involved with SuDS compliance and on practical ways to manage surface water drainage.
