Drainage Design

Paul Waite Associates has in excess of 40 years experience in the design of drainage systems and providing our clients with sustainable economic designs that meet current best practice.

The changing climate brings with it the need to understand how rainfall intensities affect drainage systems.  At Paul Waite Associates we utilize the latest design software, WinDes to simulate the storm passing through the drainage network.

This gives our engineers the ability to analyze flows in each pipe and provide storage at source as recommended by current guidance when using Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS).

With over 40 years experience you could say we have seen it and done it, however our philosophy is not to accept what we have done in the past but to innovate and explore new techniques at controlling peak rainfall flows.

An example of this would be porus paving systems and using granular sub-base to store the peak discharge.

Please refer to our October 2008 newsletter 

The drainage design services we offer are as follows:

• Hydraulic analysis of storm and foul water drainage networks
• Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems to mitigate peak rainfall flows
• Adoptable drainage network designs
• Section 104 Agreement information (Longitudinal Sections, drainage constructions details, coloured agreement plans)
• Hydraulic design of attenuation systems, including ponds, dry basin tanks, porus paving systems
• Domestic foul and surface water drainage systems to building regulation requirements
• Investigations into capacity of existing drainage systems
