Description

Disclaimer: “This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.”

Welcome to the Complete Sanitary Drainage Design Masterclass presented by Engineering Hub Academy!


Sanitary drainage design is an essential part of plumbing and MEP engineering. Every building needs a reliable drainage system to safely collect and discharge wastewater from toilets, wash basins, showers, kitchens, floor drains, and other plumbing fixtures.

In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of sanitary drainage systems and understand how drainage networks are designed, sized, routed, installed, and coordinated in real building projects.

The course covers key topics such as sewage types, drainage system arrangements, pipe materials, pipe installation requirements, gravity flow, pipe slopes, Drainage Fixture Units, pipe sizing, drainage routing, cleanouts, floor drains, interceptors, inspection chambers, manholes, sump pumps, septic tanks, holding tanks, and AI-assisted plumbing design.

You will also go through practical calculation examples related to pipe slope, invert levels, DFU calculation, sump pump head, sump pit volume, septic tank sizing, and holding tank sizing.
