Optimizing Detention for Cost and Effectiveness Using Vortex Flow Controls

When:  Mar 18, 2025 from 02:00 PM to 03:00 PM (MT)

Presented by: Phillip Taylor. Technical Manager, Oldcastle Infrastructure, CPSWQ
Level: Intermediate
Duration: 1 hour
Type of Course: Webinar - Live

Detention is an extremely important factor in flood management, it is also expensive, yet we use flow control technology that is hundreds of years old to size and manage these systems. The reason? Designers are not aware that there are viable alternatives that are easy to use and very effective at optimizing detention systems. This presentation will highlight alternative flow controls that employ vortex flow control system and case study projects that have gained significant benefits from the use of these advanced passive controls, including significant cost reductions.  

Learning Objective:

  1. Awareness of the implications of different flow controls on the detention system.
  2. Understanding of storm hydrographs and their relationship to flow controls to minimize detention size and cost. 
  3. Knowledge of how to design using vortex flow controls in common modelling software.
