Overview

Objectives:

This research project's objective is  to determine volumes of water run-off of roadway in order to define the bases of hydraulic dimensioning and the practical realization of the following works, works of retention, mud tank, basin of retention/infiltration. Further it is aimed to  create the bases for a new standard.

Methodology:

To meet the objectives, the methodology should be able to:

  • To integrate different methods of sizing retention and treatment of floor water works, including the introduction of a method close to the reality of events (unit hydrograph, continuous simulation, rain series)
  • To define the procedures, hydrological principles, hydrogeological and computational techniques to be selected based on the problems and the situation and identify the various types of structures
  • It can be checked by any sensitivity study the rainfall system / watershed / road / flow / infiltration system and / or retention
  • To allow verification and study of the consequences of overflow storage basins (retention, infiltration)
  • To ensure the implementation of the "Instructions" 2002 SAEFL
  • To give constructive guidance on the various works to achieve namely retention structures, infiltration and retention basins combined / filtration
