Thought Leaders Series: Surface drainage - roads and shared spaces

Trench drainage systems are designed to manage surface water to prevent hazards and damage to pavements and adjoining areas.

With a rapid growth in urbanisation, roads and shared spaces are more commonly used in infrastructure development. In this session, industry experts will discuss best practice and future trends of keeping people safe from stormwater whilst ensuring walkability of the adjoining pavements for pedestrians. Our speakers will provide a comprehensive overview of the opportunities and challenges in the design, materials, compliance and extending the service life of a drainage system.

Key Takeaways:
• Design principles, choice of systems and regulatory standards
• Innovations vs traditional designs for surface water management
• Balancing stakeholder requirements
• Understanding design life costs, safety and efficiency
