Best Practice for Detention Basin Optimization

Detention basins are a widely used stormwater management solution to manage excess runoff and provide flood protection. Engineers are required to be efficient and thorough in their design approach in order to implement best practice solutions. - Is your detention pond design meeting all of the local requirements? - Have you utilized the whole hydrograph to determine actual storage needs? - Have you over designed or under designed your detention pond without knowing? In this video, Michael Crenshaw, P.E., CFM, will take you through a Detention Basin Design Master Class covering the theory and practical aspects of designing detention basins from his extensive industry experience. He will take you through tips and insights that include the influence of upstream network storage, the decisions required to select the most appropriate flow control device and how to optimize the required storage.
