An Introduction to Hydraulic Design of Sewers

Course Description:

This course will introduce you to the principles of hydraulic design of sanitary sewers.  You will learn how to calculate quantities of wastewater, the approach to design of gravity and depressed sewers, required pumping capacity, hydrogen sulfide gas control, and sewer system features such as manholes, building connections, cleanouts, and pumping stations and equipment.  This is an introductory course for engineers and construction professionals looking for the fundamentals that can be the foundation for further learning about design of sewer systems.  This course will give civil engineers and others an introduction to the terminology, fundamentals and methodologies for the hydraulic design of sanitary sewer systems.

Learning Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the quantity of wastewater
• Know the gravity sewer design
• Understand the pumping stations and equipment
