Water Drainage Services at Sanderson Associates

Sanderson Associates have been working on many different Drainage and Water Engineering projects over several years. Some of the many projects that we have been appointed and continue to act on are as follows:-

Drainage Design and Assessment

Prepare preliminary drainage strategies for proposed developments, including, where appropriate:-

  • The assessment of existing drainage infrastructure
  • Calculation of existing storm water run-off from green-field and developed sites
  • The assessment of storm water storage requirements and design of flood compensation works
  • The design and use of sustainable drainage techniques

Detailed design of domestic and mains drainage networks for foul and storm water flow, including: -

  • Determining the foul and storm water flows generated by new developments
  • Assessing the capacity and suitability of existing drainage systems to accommodate additional flows
  • Design of detailed drainage layouts
  • Hydraulic analysis and simulation modelling of foul and storm water drainage systems
  • Design of storm water flow attenuation measures including on-line and off-line storage facilities and simulation modelling
  • Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems and techniques
  • Sewer Adoptions
  • Preparation of detailed drainage schedules, plans and sections for the purpose of construction and obtaining technical approval for Building Regulations or for Adoption by means of Section 104 of the Water Industry Act 1991

For the purpose of design and undertaking site assessments we utilise industry standard 3D modelling software combined with the WINDES suite of hydraulic design and analysis programs.

Domestic drainage systems are designed to meet the requirements of the current Building Regulations and are also modelled to check capacity and ensure optimum design in terms of pipe depth and gradient. Main drainage systems are designed to meet the requirements of the Sewers For Adoption 6th Edition and modelling data prepared to demonstrate their performance in normal use and under severe flood conditions.
