About the ROADWAY DRAINAGE Workshop:

The course discusses basic road design characteristics as they relate to drainage, soil characteristics, basic hydrology (drainage areas, runoff factors, rainfall intensity), hydraulics (culvert materials, sizing culvert, sizing ditches), placement of culverts, culvert end treatments, and culvert and ditch maintenance. Each participant will receive a Roadway and Roadside Drainage manual by David P. Orr, P.E., published by the Cornell Local Roads Department. While this course does not provide design criteria for engineers, it is intended to cover the needs of all people responsible for roads, from managers to operators.   

Who Should Attend:  If you work with rural roads, this is a workshop you should attend!  The workshop is designed for everyone who has responsibility for maintenance and/or construction of roadways.  Maintenance operators and supervisors of city, county, highway district, tribal, state, utility, contractors, state and forest service roads, BLM, and other federal agencies will expand their knowledge about roadway drainage.
