Underpass drainage channel how to#
In this paper, a design example is presented to illustrate how to apply two hydrologic methods, including the rational method used to size the sewer pipes and sump pumps and the EPA Storm Water Management Model 5 was adopted to verify the performance of the proposed system under minor and major storm events, respectively. To design such a drainage system for multiple storm events, all individual drainage elements are to be sized individually, and then the entire drainage system must be evaluated under the tailwater effects. However, relative openness should never be used as the sole measurement.
Although the pump system in practice may be a permanent station or a mobile unit, the pump system prepared for a highway underpass must be documented in the emergency operational instructions. The current practice, at a site where fish passage is required, involves ensuring velocities within the proposed culvert(s) do not significantly exceed (20) the natural channel’s mean velocities at typical fish passage flows and water levels (typically in the range of 0.5 m to approximately 1.0 m or bankfull, but site specific). It is recommended that the underpass drainage facility be composed of two systems: an underground sewer line be sized to collect the minor storm event through gravity and a pump system be prepared to lift the excess water during a major storm event. It covers design of shared use paths, equestrian trails, low -flow crossings, underpasses, cross drainage and other considerations specific to paths adjacent to streams. In accordance with the green concept of Low-Impact Development, in which a drainage system is designed to pass the full spectrum of runoff flows, this paper presents a new algorithm to improve the highway underpass drainage design for both safety and hydraulic efficiency. An increasing concern is how to quickly and safely remove the stormwater from low points of urban area roadways. Hybrid Drainage Design for Highway Underpassĭrowning fatalities in traffic accidents often occur at roadway sag curves or depressed sections.
