a) Navigating Drainage and Utilities
In this course you will learn how to use core product tools to display, review and analyze drainage and utility objects in a design file. You will also learn how to display annotations, create FlexTables, run queries and reports, and create profiles on drainage and utility objects.
b) Introduction to Drainage Layout and Hydraulics
This course was previously called Inlet and Pipe Layout - Analysis and Design. In this course we cover creating and designing a highway drainage system consisting of Inlets, Manholes, Outlets, Pipes, and Drainage Areas.
c) Placing a Ditch and Culvert Network
This course shows how to place common ditch/culvert networks, leveraging what you already know about inlet/pipe network layout. This course is optimized for terrains that do not include the new ditches.
d) Creating Drainage Reports
In this course, you will learn how to create reports using FlexTables. You will learn how to customize the FlexTables to show the desired data fields and formatting for the reports. FlexTables show data for one type of element - a catch basin or a manhole for example. You will learn how to combine the content of multiple FlexTables into a single Excel spreadsheet.
e) Designing Inlets to Collect Runoff
In this course, you will learn how to place inlets and delineate catchments, to collect runoff from a road surface. You will also learn how to evaluate whether the inlet efficiencies and the spread widths of the flows at the inlets ae acceptable, and adjust the inlet positions to achieve this.
f) Designing Gutters to Convey Runoff
This course was previously called Designing Gutters to Collect Runoff. In this class you will learn how to place gutters, which convey runoff between inlets along the edge of the road, and define a path for flow that is not collected by an inlet. You will also learn how to evaluate whether the spread widths of the flows along the gutters are acceptable.
g) Designing Pipes to Convey Runoff
In this class you will learn how to design pipes to convey the runoff that has been collected by the inlets to an outfall. The pipes will be placed with an initial size and slope, then they will be designed hydraulically to calculate the sizes needed to accommodate flows without surcharging.
h) Optimizing Pipes to Convey Runoff
In this class you will learn how to optimize the pipe system, using techniques that reduce depths of cover whilst maintaining hydraulic parameters, so that the design is more cost effective. This class also makes use of scenarios, which help you to develop and compare different solutions, and easily switch between them.
i) Drainage Plans, Profiles and Cross Sections
In this course, you will learn how to create and annotate plan, profile and cross section sheets. You will learn how to create Named Boundaries that will be used to generate plan, profile and cross section sheets. You will also learn about drawing models and sheet models that are used during the sheet creation process. Lastly, you will learn how to add individual annotations to label specific location coordinates, station-offset values, elevations, and more.
