Technical reference for engineers designing smart drainage systems.
Controlled drainage design begins with hydrological analysis to determine retention volume, release rate, and safety margins. The system must accommodate design storm intensity while maintaining fail-safe operation — ensuring that catastrophic rainfall events result in safe drainage rather than overflow or structural damage.
Modern controlled drainage systems are validated through continuous field monitoring. SmartFlow provides the measurement infrastructure to continuously validate design assumptions and optimize performance over the asset lifetime.
