MicroDrainageBUILD YOUR OWN SUITE OF

MicroDrainageThe MicroDrainage philosophy is to inform, educate and empower clients to produce compliant design

productively and efficiently.

Technical Basis

Drainage Network Design - MicroDrainage uses BS EN 752 or main drainage methodologies for sanitary (foul)

systems, and Rational Method or Modified Rational method for surface water systems.

Modelling - Simulate using the Wallingford Procedure, time/area full hydrograph methodology including

energy and momentum equations for dynamic analysis.

Flood Routing and Exceedance - Gain a quick, simple indication of where rainwater will channel and pond on

the surface using 2D flow analysis, integrated 1D/2D analysis of surface flows that exceed drainage capacity.

MDSuDS - Provides a complete SuDS design and analysis solution with Flow Through Structures technology. It leads users through a design process for SuDS structures from conceptual design, including water quality, to hydraulic flow analysis.

WHY MicroDrainage?The first version of MicroDrainage was developed in 1983

and evolved with the UK water industry as the leading

software tool for drainage design. Today it is extensively used

throughout Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

MicroDrainage is a range of fully integrated modules,

developed for the design and modelling of surface water and

waste water systems. The Software can be used in isolation

or combined with other modules for additional integrated

functionality. The Software delivers high quality, compliant

designs and reports that can be used by consultants,

engineers, authorising bodies and environmental agencies.

This powerful software can handle projects ranging in size

from small developments to new cities.

Design for Your Environment. Whether working with an

existing sanitary (foul) network or designing a brownfield

or greenfield project, MicroDrainage gives you the tools to

effectively deliver compliant detailed designs.

Design to the latest standards. The latest National SuDS

(Sustainable Urban Drainage System) Standards, Sewers for

Adoption and Code for Sustainable Homes guidelines are

incorporated within the software to help designers manage

quantity, quality and amenity as well as compliance.

MicroDrainage incorporates BIM (Building Information

Modelling). All elements of the design are connected and

interact within the design to ensure accuracy as flows and

volumes change.

Design in 2D then view in the 3D Worldview. Define

water table, rock strata and landscape features such as trees,

houses and other buildings. Insert maps and photographs

as background images in both Plan and 3D Worldview. View

real-time animation of water levels within the network in

graphical form.

Easily import and Exort. GIS data can be imported in a

number of formats including .pwf, .csv, .txt, .xml and .asc.

Illustrate flood flows. A 3D ground model of the site can

be imported, triangulated and indicative flood flow paths

illustrated for exceedance.

Input or import rainfall data. Specify rainfall profiles directly

for international use or undertake continuous analysis of time

series rainfall. Use FSR or FEH rainfall data, access the UK MET

office DELUGE® rainfall database to populate rainfall data for

designs within the UK. Scale rainfall to model climate change.

DESIGN WITH CONFIDENCE

MicroDrainage

Rainwater Harvesting. In line with latest industry MicroDrainage can design for rainwater standards harvesting.

Design graphically within MicroDrainage. Import drawings directly into DrawNet allowing pipe networks to be auto-designed directly on them. Design and edit drainage layouts within the AutoCAD®/Civil 3D® (2013 - 2017) environment with our DrawNet CAD module.

Detailed pipe and manhole Design. Deliver storm, foul and existing pipe designs that include manhole and pipeline schedules and longsections. Design and size pipes using either Rational or Modified Rational Methods. Specify slope, fall or auto design to give self-cleansing velocity and optimise the network to maintain minimum cover depth. Mark connections as either a sealed manhole, junction or a standard open manhole.

Model infiltration structures, runoff and flow controls. Calculate the greenfield runoff rates and volumes, quick storage estimates and infiltration feasibility. Specify an input/unit hydrograph or model inflow from green roofs or rainwater harvesting tanks. Design storage and/or infiltration structures, flow controls including: soakaways, infiltration trenches, porous car parks, cellular storage, deep bore soakaway, ponds, etc. Estimate volumes for excavation, porous fill material and net storage. Drain down times can be calculated to confirm the feasibility of each option. Realistic simulation of the lag and attenuation of water flow in each infiltration structure on either link or node locations. Link several structures to determine their combined hydraulic and pollution removal performance.

Pollution estimates. A Pollution Summary can be generated to estimate of the range of pollutant removal percentages achieved in accordance with CIRIA methodology. For more complex analysis of pollutant removal, first order decay method can be deployed to determine the percentage of pollutants removed depending on time taken to pass through drainage system.

Model extreme rainfall. Apply rainfall data directly to the terrain. Water is allowed to find its own way into the 1D system via 2D overland flow. Analyse flood flow paths, simulate events and test designs to determine critical levels and design flaws. Evaluate multiple storms for a required return period, collate

results and identify critical duration.

Graphical flood flow path modelling. Identify depth, velocity and direction of overland flows (including the ability to output Defra Hazard maps). Identify the natural catchments, channels

and areas of existing ponding on the site.

Design at a micro or macro catchment level. Split a network into individual sub catchments for independent design or combine completed sub catchments for integrated design and analysis

Solve hydraulic problems within a drainage system. Identify, understand and solve issues within designs automatically, quickly and easily.

Customized reports. Print design data and results in pre-defined or custom reports or export to a wide range of formats such as Excel and HTML.

Easily determine billing/pricing for jobs. A library of construction costs can be maintained to enable the engineer to conduct cost benefit analyses on alternative proposals and can be used across multiple projects. MicroDrainage modules link to a very wide range of civil engineering software and can integrate with these to drive your design process.

Both 32-bit or 64-bit software version. MicroDrainage supports multi-core systems for improved software performance and maximum efficiency with system resources.
