We have seen the features of the new interface of the most recent version of our stormwater design software, DREN-URBA.
In this post, we collect four videos generated during the testing of the new version, in which we perform the creation, editing, calculation, and design of an urban drainage system.
he idea is that the information in these videos, along with what you already know about the software, helps you to create your own projects.
Creating a Stormwater Drainage Channel
In this first video, you’ll see how it is now possible that the surface drainage model includes cross sections different to the triangular section that usually is used to model the roads in streets and avenues hydraulics. Now you can include cross sections such as rectangular, trapezoidal, triangular, half a street, and a half a street with gutter.
Creating the Surface Drainage System and Determining Runoff Flows
Here we perform the creation of the streets and avenues network that allow you to drive the runoff of the studied urban area.
You will see how the hydrologic and hydraulic calculation is made based on the sub basins and curves of intensity-duration-frequency information that you enter into the software.
Designing the Surface System: Drainage Inlets Location
Now that you have made the hydrological calculation and determined the operating parameters of the stormwater surface drainage system (streets, avenues, and channels), you’ll see in this video how easy it is to establish the location of drainage inlets in the sector under consideration, so as to ensure the real flood spread does not exceeded normative values in the urban drainage design.
Storm Sewer Network Design
Finally, in this video, the design of the storm sewer network is presented.
With the automatic design options incorporated into the new version, you can quickly determine the longitudinal slopes, diameters, and invert elevations of each sewer pipe section within the stormwater sewer network.
