Overview

This NEW one-day course is aimed at all project managers or commissioners of 1D/2D and 2D hydraulic models.  Through this course, participants will gain confidence matching models to specific project requirements, developing realistic costs and programmes for their delivery, and maximising the value of their modelling investment.

Course content

The course will help non-technical decision makers to:

• Appreciate the range of applications for these models (coastal, river, surface water, dam break and integrated drainage studies


• Select the right hydraulic modelling strategy for the job


• Understand the process of building 1D/2D and 2D hydraulic models


• Successfully procure and specify 2D hydraulic modelling commissions


• Competently oversee the model building process, including the main risks and tried and tested mitigation strategies


• Understand the 'headline' pros and cons of particular commercial software packages


• Make the most of 1D/2D and 2D model results, including analysis, checking and visualisation of model results

The course is not tied to any particular software programme and is intended to provide transferable lessons that are relevant now and in the foreseeable future.  However, the course contents can be tailored to particular software on request (e.g. TUFLOW, ISIS-2D, JFlow, InfoWorks, MIKE FLOOD).

Delivery

The course is delivered as a series of presenter-led workshop sessions that are designed to provide maximum opportunity for delegates to ask questions and share any previous experiences, lessons learned etc.
