Standard Drawings for Water Sensitive Urban Design
Water by Designin association with the Queensland Division of the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia (IPWEAQ) has published a set of standard drawings for water sensitive urban design infrastructure.
The Standard Drawings are intended to inform detailed design, standardise common design requirements (wherever possible) and reduce design and assessment costs and timeframes.
Two Example Project Drawings are also available which demonstrate how the Standard Drawings can be applied to project-specific operational works plans.
Standard Drawings help deliver more effective stormwater management at lower community cost by:
- improving design standards and improving consistency across councils
- reducing the cost and time involved in design and assessment
- improving the quality of infrastructure delivered to local authorities and asset owners
The following Standard Drawings are now available:
WSUD001: Bioretention Standard Profile – Overflow Pit
WSUD002: Bioretention Saturated Zone – Overflow Pit
WSUD003: Bioretention Standard Profile – Underdrain Cleanout
WSUD004: Bioretention Saturated Zone – Underdrain Cleanout
WSUD005: Bioretention Basin Large Coarse Sediment Forebay
WSUD006: Bioretention Basin Weir Details
WSUD007: Bioretention Pod Kerb Cutout
WSUD008: Bioretention Swales Flush Kerb Set down
WSUD009: Constructed Wetland Outlet Riser Pit A
WSUD010: Constructed Wetland Outlet Riser Pit B
WSUD011: Constructed Wetland Outlet Riser Pit C (for very flat sites)
WSUD012: Constructed Wetland Inlet Zone Weir Details
These Standard Drawings form part of the IPWEAQ Standard Drawings and can be purchased in PDF format via www.engincom.com.au. The Example Project Drawings are offered as free guides with any purchase of the Standard Drawings.
We welcome your feedback on the Standard Drawings and can provide it via the contact page.
