The Water Supply, Sewerage and Drainage Systems Design for Urban Infrastructure Training Course provides practical and technical knowledge for planning, designing, assessing, and managing urban Water Infrastructure systems. The course covers water supply networks, sewerage systems, stormwater drainage, hydraulic principles, sewer design, network capacity, pumping systems, water demand, and infrastructure planning.

Delivered by The British Academy For Training and Development, this course falls under Engineering Maintenance and Operation and specializes in Construction and Civil Engineering Training Courses. Participants develop the skills required to design coordinated urban water supply, sewerage, and drainage networks while considering population growth, hydraulic performance, environmental requirements, infrastructure resilience, and the effective management of water and wastewater utilities.

• Understand the fundamental principles of urban Water Infrastructure.
• Analyse water demand and wastewater generation for urban developments.
• Apply hydraulic principles to water supply and sewerage network design.
• Design effective water supply distribution systems.
• Develop appropriate sewer design strategies for urban areas.
• Plan stormwater drainage networks and surface-water management systems.
• Determine pipe capacities, flow requirements, gradients, and network configurations.
• Understand pumping stations, storage facilities, tanks, and related infrastructure.
• Assess network performance and identify capacity constraints.
• Integrate water supply, sewerage, and drainage systems into urban development plans.
• Apply relevant technical, environmental, and operational considerations.
• Understand utility coordination and infrastructure interface requirements.
• Evaluate maintenance and operational requirements for water and wastewater systems.
• Improve technical decision-making during infrastructure planning and design.
