Description
By participating in this workshop, you will focus on the practical application of sound planning, design, construction and maintenance practices for open channels and culverts. Culverts rehabilitation will also be introduced with the state-of-the-practice tools. An understanding of the hydrological and hydraulic principles that underlie practical design will also be developed. Case studies will be presented to demonstrate in very practical terms the pros and cons of alternative strategies, the pitfalls that can be avoided, and the design features that characterize successful installations. The uniqueness of this workshop is its emphasis on hands on exercises for designing the various components of channel and culvert structures. You will not only leave with the confidence that you understand the concepts but you can also apply the knowledge gained to your projects. This course offers you a solid grounding in both the theory and practical methods of culvert design.
|
Objective
To provide participants with a working knowledge of current methods for designing and rehabilitating effective channels and culverts that minimize their construction and maintenance cost, with an overview of installation and maintenance practices and procedures.

Special Features
- You will receive a comprehensive set of course notes with all design charts, graphs and data that will serve for future use
- You will write pre-and-post exams that will give you a clear indication of the improvement in your level of understanding of the material
- With the “hands-on-how-to” exercises, you will gain valuable skills which you will be able to put to use immediately
- You will receive a resource CD including free design software HY-8 and manuals that could be used every day in professional practice. HY-8 software automates culvert hydraulic computations, enables you to analyze the performance of culverts, multiple culvert barrels at a single crossing as well as multiple crossings, roadway overtopping at the crossing and develop report documentation in the form of performance tables, graphs, and key information regarding the input variables
- A workshop to practice how to use the software in design will be also conducted in class.
- You will also receive the textbook:
Computer Applications in Hydraulic Engineering, 7th Edition which includes state of the art softwares: WaterGEMS, SewerGEMS, StormCAD, SewerCAD, PondPack, FlowMaster, CulvertMaster, as well as in class training on two software packages: CulvertMaster and FlowMaster with design examples.
Learn how to:
- Design Storm water drainage systems
- Design culverts and channels that are safe, efficient and cost-effective
- Choose the best design and rehabilitation methods
You will study techniques for calculating:
- Hydraulic design
- Inlet and outlet control
- Design discharge

Materials Required
Standard engineering calculator with scientific functions and a laptop computer to use the software.
Who Should Attend
Municipal engineers, developers, planners, consultants, hydraulic engineers, technicians and technologists, designers and other technical personnel responsible for drainage facilities, underground pipe systems, inlets, culverts and catch basins. This course is particularly suitable for those who want a comprehensive review of drainage design methods.
This course will benefit anyone involved with the design or design review of culverts in storm drainage, street, highway and storm water detention systems. Including municipal, geotechnical, structural, road, drainage, mining and forestry engineers, developers, planners, consultants, supervisors, and other technical personnel responsible for drainage facilities, open channels and culverts.

Instructor
 Dr. Gamal Abdelaziz, P.Eng, MSc. has a Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering from Concordia University, Montreal, Canada.
Currently he is a senior civil engineer with SAGA Engineering, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Former adjunct professor at Ryerson university, Toronto, Ontario. He has over 30 years of experience in geotechnical and structural engineering, foundation design, teaching, research and consulting in Canada and overseas.
His current duties review and finalize the design of water systems, pump stations, water supply, sanitary and storm sewer systems. He is teaching water resources courses for last 15 years. He designed and delivered more than 50 courses on water resources, and they are very well received by practicing engineers in Canada and globally.
Dr. Abdelaziz is a former adjunct professor at University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada, visiting professor at Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada and part time professor at Seneca College, Toronto, Canada.
Dr. Abdelaziz is specialized in numerical modeling for solving sophisticated geotechnical engineering problems with respect to pile foundation and the linear and nonlinear analysis of soil-structure interaction. He designed charts to predict pressures acting on tunnels, and developed analytical model for pile bearing capacity prediction.
Dr. Abdelaziz authored a number of technical papers and delivered numerous internal and external workshops on various geotechnical and Municipal engineering topics. Dr. Abdelaziz has been involved in a number of projects in Canada and overseas, such as tunneling, silos, buildings, retaining structures, siphons, irrigation networks and many other civil engineering projects in terms of design and construction.
Dr. Abdelaziz is a member in different professional societies such as APEGGA, PEO, CGS, CDA, TAC and ABPA. He is also a reviewer for the Canadian Geotechnical Journal.
