CIV6746 Design and Management of Sewer Systems

Introduction - CIV6746 Re-assessment

This module has one component for there-assessment:

(i) a written report containing two parts (each 2 parts described below in detail) - a single report worth 100% of the module re-assessment grade.

Part 1 reports on knowledge gained in the module (50% of module re-assessment grade), Part 2 reports on the completion of a storm sewer overflow design (50% of module re- assessment grade).

The module re-assessment is an individual student assessment.

Written Report: Part 1 - Knowledge

One of the Learning Outcomes of this module is to gain knowledge on methods used to design and operate sewer networks. This  Learning Outcome to demonstrate your knowledge is assessed using a structured written report.

In this report, you should describe you understanding of:

1.   Key components of sewer networks, how they are linked into networks and how their performance can be simulated.

2.   Describe the software tools used by engineers to design sewer networks, explain the underlying simulation approaches, and explain the uncertainties inherent in these models.

3.   Describe the expected performance standards for sewer networks and explain how these standards are ensured in the UK. Explain the role of economic, environmental and health regulations in determining expected standards of performance.

4.   Describe the major challenges facing sewer networks over the next three decades and describe approaches that are being developed to meet these challenges.

Assessment Requirements: Part 1

This learning outcome will be assessed based on the first part of an individual report (the overall written report is
