DRAINAGE AREA STUDIES

We are Consultants on the Northern Ireland Water Framework for Drainage Area Studies.

One of our typical schemes is Downpatrick which involves the creation of a verified Type 3 Hydraulic Model, a network analysis and the development of a Needs & Options upgrade report for a 2030 horizon.

Key facts:

500 ha catchment
2030 population approximately 25,000
5.5km of sewers modelled
20 storm pumping stations
13 combined storm overflows

The solution fully considers the catchment needs, process selection, capital & recurring costs, planning, lands and constructability issues, along with environmental needs.
