Friday 14 Oct 2016: Proofing the Concept of Sustainable Drainage Schemes Using an Integrated Urban Drainage Model
Anthony Raine - Pell Frsichmann
Harrison 170 14:00-15:00
Abstract
This presentation will provide an overview of the Par Lane Surface Water Management Plan work and
how this is linked to a wider EU Funded St. Austell Resilient Regeneration Project. It will also
highlight the complex interactions between various drainage systems and the tide. The current
options being put forward to resolve flooding problems in the Par Lane area range from a low cost
mitigation option, a medium cost / risk option or a comprehensive robust 1 in 100 year+ option. A
robust 1 in 100 year option to resolve extensive flooding in Par Lane up until recently was thought
to be unachievable, but due to some creative thinking about what can be achieved in the wider
surrounding catchment area and joined up working between the various partnering organisations such
options are now looking feasible. How some of the initial concepts for the options being put
forward were tested using the IUDM model will be discussed and this will hopefully show how
extensive data collection, detailed modelling and collaborative working can pay dividends. Some of
the sustainable drainage systems being promoted in the catchment to achieve the objectives of each
proposed scheme will be presented.
