Learn how to design and analyze a complete wastewater sewerage network in SewerGEMS, using a practical workflow based on Abu Dhabi-area design requirements and real-world engineering practices. This course is designed for civil, environmental, water, and wastewater engineers who want to develop practical skills in sanitary sewer hydraulic modeling and network design. You will learn how to build a sewerage model from the beginning, assign wastewater demands, configure network elements, perform hydraulic simulations, and evaluate the results.
Throughout the course, we will work step by step through the key stages of wastewater sewer network design, including:
- Creating and setting up a SewerGEMS wastewater model
- Developing manholes, gravity sewer pipes, outfalls, and network connections
- Calculating wastewater flows based on population, unit demand, loading units, and peak factors
- Assigning sanitary loads to the sewer network
- Understanding and applying infiltration and inflow
- Selecting appropriate pipe diameters and slopes
- Checking flow depth, velocity, capacity, hydraulic grade line, and surcharge conditions
- Identifying and resolving common hydraulic problems
- Reviewing and interpreting SewerGEMS calculation results
- Optimizing the sewer network to satisfy practical design requirements
- Understanding the overall workflow used in professional wastewater drainage projects
