Education @ Your Desk. A Live Webinar Class means that you will attend the class via the web using your computer. There are scheduled breaks for coffee and lunch. You use a microphone, headset, or your phone and are able to interact with the instructor and other students while following notes while watching the presentation slides online just as you would in a live classroom. Notes are posted online. For an extra cost a hard copy can be requested.
The virtual classroom is becoming more and more popular, and we have a lot of experience teaching in this format. The only real difference between a live in-class and live via webinar is where you sit and what you look at. You can learn from the comfort of your own home or office. You pay less for the live webinar format than you would for the in-class format, and you do not have to travel to another city to attend the class. Please contact us at [email protected] for Special Group & Corporate Rates for one or more participants.

Daily Schedule: 11am MST - Session begins 2pm MST - Adjournment This course is divided into two sessions. Each session will be 6 hours in duration. If you are unable to attend any of the sessions a recording will be made available.
Description
By participating in this workshop, you will focus on the practical application of sound planning, design, construction and maintenance practices for open channels and culverts. Culverts rehabilitation will also be introduced with state-of-the-art practice tools. An understanding of the hydrological and hydraulic principles that underlie practical design will also be developed. Case studies will be presented to demonstrate in very practical terms the pros and cons of alternative strategies, the pitfalls that can be avoided, and the design features that characterize successful installations. The uniqueness of this workshop is its emphasis on hands on exercises for designing the various components of channel and culvert structures. You will not only leave with the confidence that you understand the concepts, but you can also apply the knowledge gained to your projects. This course offers you a solid grounding in both the theory and practical methods of culvert design.
Objective
To provide participants with a working knowledge of current methods for designing and rehabilitating effective channels and culverts that minimize their construction and maintenance cost, with an overview of installation and maintenance practices and procedures.
Special Features
- You will receive a comprehensive set of course notes with all design charts, graphs and data that will serve for future use
- You will write pre-and-post exams that will give you a clear indication of the improvement in your level of understanding of the material
- With the hands-on-how-to exercises, you will gain valuable skills which you will be able to put to use immediately
- You will receive a resource CD including free design software HY-8, and manuals that could be used every day in professional practice. HY-8 software automates culvert hydraulic computations, enables you to analyze the performance of culverts, understand multiple culvert barrels at a single crossing as well as multiple crossings, build awareness of roadway overtopping at the crossing and develop report documentation in the form of performance tables, graphs, and key information regarding the input variables
- A workshop to practice how to use the software in design will be also conducted in class.
Learning Outcomes
- Design Storm water drainage systems
- Design culverts and channels that are safe, efficient and cost-effective
- Choose the best design and rehabilitation methods
You will study techniques for calculating
- Hydraulic design
- Inlet and outlet control
- Design discharge
Materials Required - Standard engineering calculator with scientific functions and a laptop computer to use the software.
- You will receive a water resource book the day of the course from GIC.
Who Should Attend
Municipal engineers, developers, planners, consultants, hydraulic engineers, technicians and technologists, designers and other technical personnel responsible for drainage facilities, underground pipe systems, inlets, culverts and catch basins. This course is particularly suitable for those who want a comprehensive review of drainage design methods.
This course will benefit anyone involved with the design or design review of culverts in storm drainage, street, highway and storm water detention systems. Including municipal, geotechnical, structural, road, drainage, mining and forestry engineers, developers, planners, consultants, supervisors, and other technical personnel responsible for drainage facilities, open channels and culverts.
After Attending This Course, You Will Be Able To:
- Broaden your understanding of the technical design and installation/repair issues related to transportation, forestry, flood protection and urban drainage use of channels and culverts
- Strengthen your skills for channel and culvert design and construction techniques
- Learn and practice design methodology by participating in hands-on exercises
- Receive information and learn techniques that you can use to enhance the efficiency of channels and culverts
- Become knowledgeable about new techniques, technologies and applications for channel and culvert installations
- Learn how culvert design that meets the hydraulic, structural and environmental needs of a specific area will provide more cost-effective storm drainage.
- Size your open channels and accurately predict their depths of flow (water surfaces)
- Select the proper values and use the proper equations for effective drainage system design
- Estimate peak flow rates and time of concentration
- Gain a solid understanding of drainage design, along with an increased confidence in the results of your design calculations
