Plans to widen motorways and make improvements to the national railway networks suggests that the use soil nailing techniques could expand rapidly.
The first day of the module will cover elementary design principles and the second day will develop these concepts to an advanced level and develop an outline drainage proposal.
The event will also include a case-study of the scheme installed at Matchborough First School, which manages overland flows and has provided the local community with educational and amenity benefits.
Following the training delegates should be able to understand design criteria and application to SUDS, design robust schemes that meet design criteria and competently develop outline and detailed drainage designs.
The events will be led by nationally recognised practitioners that have experience of implementing SUDS in a range of developments.
This event is fully accredited for CIWEM, the ICE, CIOB RICS, CIBSE and IstructE CPD schemes.
Discounted rates are available for local authorities and SMEs and all those registering for the course will be entitled to choose a free guidance publication from a list of available CIRIA SUDS guidance.
