The increasing frequency of flooding and a growing awareness of the effects of climate change are drivers towards a greater recognition of the importance of effective surface water drainage systems.

This two day course aims to provide up-to-date information on current practice concerning design, construction and maintenance of highway drainage systems. Legislation with particular reference to the Flood & Water Management Act 2010 together with design and construction standards, appropriate materials and innovative solutions will be covered, focusing on achieving effective and maintainable drainage systems. Due emphasis is given to environmental aspects arising from climate change, the provision of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) and mitigation of flood risk. The course is presented by recognised experts in their field, who have extensive experience in the highways industry.

Retro-fitting high quality cycling infrastructure is a significant

challenge for engineers. Restricted space, UK driving rules and

culture and political support are key challenges. This course explores

different approaches to making cycling feel convenient and safe in

urban areas, illustrated by case studies of innovative cycle

infrastructure design. We will help you to understand how to plan

networks and interventions to suit different circumstances. We will

show the best available methods for designing for cyclists at

junctions, main roads and quieter streets.
