CPD: Geocellular: Specify it Right
ACO Technologies plc
Attenuation is a requirement for most construction sites across the UK. This is essential to deal with Volume Control set out in DEFRA’s Sustainable Drainage Systems - Non-statutory technical standards for Sustainable Drainage Systems, the new London Plan and the Quantity Element of The SuDS Manual. Geocellular Storage Systems are a large part of this Attenuation capacity. It is very important that the design and installation of these systems is carried out correctly.
Guidance and calculations for infiltration and attenuation are looked at from first principals, leading up to how free online software can be used. Structural calculations and the importance of FOS used in C680 will be highlighted along with what the future holds for C737.
Learning outcomes include
• Design of Attenuation and Infiltration tanks from first principals to advanced FEA software
• Where to get access to applicable design standards and guidance
• Learn the FOS used in Ciria C680 for structural loading
• Learn both current and future testing standards and design guidance
