Drainage and Erosion Control
Hydraulic Design for Culverts and Storm Sewer
This one-day workshop provides an overview of hydrologic and hydraulic principles in the design of culverts and storm sewers. If you are an entry-level engineer or technician, this is an opportunity to improve your drainage design skills. You will be able to use what you learn in this course “on the job” because the focus is on practical applications using real-world problems and hands-on exercises. The latest in design methods, computer applications, and implementation techniques also will be presented.
