devices, will therefore require payment of commuted sums to cover
future maintenance associated with the risk of the system failing, risk of
subsidence induced by the system and reduced performance due to
siltation.
Drainage designs in urban areas are particularly sensitive to problems

arising and you must be aware of the need to manage the following
risks:
• Internal flooding of buildings;
6 • Uncontrolled run-off from entering watercourses or sewers;
• Surface run-off from crossing the site boundary;
• Surface run-off from gardens, driveways and roof areas from reaching the
highway;
• Subsidence and washout;
• Pollution of aquifers and watercourses; and
• Silt migration into the system.
The impermeable area generating surface water run-off for adoptable

drainage designs should include all verges, footways, footpaths, cycleways,
carriageways, and in exceptional cases where appropriate, allowances must
be made for run-off from gardens, parks or sidelong ground.
In more rural locations discussions between farmers or local landowners
and Land Drainage Boards can enable the impact of surface water run-
off from fields to be reduced, by alternative crop planting, favourable
directions of ploughing, local shaping of the earthworks, provision of on
‘making it happen’ drainage systems

including:
Storm return periods that must be considered for surface water
• Variability of near surface geological strata (grading, piping risk,
drainage design are as follows:
permeability, solution features, thickness of drift deposits etc);
• For standard sites - design for 1 in 10 year storms and review implications of
• Interaction with near surface structures, road pavements, services and
flooding for 1 in 30 year storm;
deepened pockets of made ground;
• For difficult sites/sites sensitive to flooding - design for 1 in 30 year storms
• Difficulty in retrofitting in urban environments;
and review implications of flooding for 1 in 100 year storm; and
• Health and safety aspects of open waters;
• Flood plains – design to be reviewed on a scheme by scheme basis but
• Insects associated with stagnant water; a 1 in 100 year storm return period should be considered as a minimum
• Litter collection in open areas; requirement for watercourses.
• Landscape management in open areas;
Factor of Safety for Soakaway/Infiltration Design
• Visual impact of sediment control;
The recommendation is to maintain a minimum factor of safety of 2 on
• Landtake conflicts (housing densities etc); and
the soil infiltration rate at the time of adoption, to allow for some future
• Uncertain maintenance history/liability siltation.
Additional factors of safety related to the consequences of failure will also

need to be reviewed on a scheme by scheme basis.
Effects of Surface Water on the Carriageway
The effects of surface water on the carriageway may include:

• surface ponding effects;
• subgrade pumping;
• soil subgrade strength;
• adjacent ditch stability;
• slope stability;
• impact on structures;
• impact on Statutory Undertakers’ plant; and
• softening of highway verges.

Design of Highway Drainage Networks.
Small catchments up to 1000m2

For new highway drainage catchment areas (including verges and adjacent
green field run-off ) less than 1000m2 in run-off, a 150mm diameter pipe at
a minimum gradient of 1/150 will generally be adequate.
An assessment will be required to verify that there are no flooding issues
arising from this simple design.
Larger catchments between 1000m2 and 1ha

Calculations must be submitted to us for approval.
The ‘Rational (Lloyd Davies)’ method must be used for the design as set
18 out in Road Note 35 ‘A guide for engineers to the design of storm sewer
systems’ published by HMSO and used in conjunction with the ‘Tables
for the Hydraulic Design of Pipes, Sewers and Channels (7th edition)’,
published for hydraulics research by Thomas Telford Ltd.
To assist in the checking of the drainage calculations, a design sheet based
on Table 1 of Road Note 35 must be used and submitted to us on A4 paper
for approval.
An assessment will be required to verify that there are no flooding issues
arising from this moderate design.

Highway drains and sewers greater than 900mm diameter are classified

cover specified above, the pipe must be of extra strength and surrounded
by 150mm thick ST2 concrete and provided with flexible joints at no more
than 5m centres.
Gullies should preferably connect directly into chambers, but if this is
not possible they must be connected to the main pipe by means of
45o oblique angled junctions or be saddled at an oblique angle and
surrounded by ST2 concrete. Gully connections must not be longer than

In normal circumstances each gully must not drain more than 200m2 of
catchment area and gullies must not be spaced at intervals greater than
45m, except at summits, where the first gully must not be more than 45 m
from the high point. Double gullies must always be provided at sag points,
low points, entrances to shared surfaces and before traffic calming features,
