1. INTRODUCTION Drainage Design
This handbook provides design criteria to be used in submission of drainage designs

presented to the City of Swan Council. All basic design principles shall be in
accordance with the Australian Rainfall & Runoff (AR&R) current edition. This
handbook forms part of Aus-Spec #1. Consultants should read this handbook in
conjunction with the AR&R and Document D5 - Stormwater Drainage Design of Aus-
Spec #1. The consultant should also consider water quality treatment when carrying
out drainage design such as treatment at source where the soil conditions permit.
Design principles in accordance with “Better Urban Water Management” produced by
the Department of Planning and the guidelines in the “Stormwater Management
Manual for Western Australia” produced by the Department of Water should be
followed wherever possible.

Percentage
3. PERCENTAGE IMPERVIOUS & RUNOFF Impervious &
COEFFICIENTS (Section D5.06) Runoff
Coefficients
The following percentage impervious (of total development area) and C10 runoff
coefficients can be adopted for the various zonings in clay areas.
% impervious C10 runoff coefficient
Rural Residential development 12.5 0.24
Residential development 55 0.56
Medium density development 65 0.64
Commercial development 80 0.75
Industrial development 90 0.82
Roads 64 0.63
Alternately percentage impervious can be calculated for the fully developed catchment
and the following table utilized to calculate the C10 runoff coefficients.
Fraction impervious 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0
Runoff coefficient 0.15 0.22 0.3 0.37 0.45 0.52 0.6 0.67 0.75 0.82 0.9
For events of an ARI other than 10 years, the C10 Runoff Coefficient shall be multiplied
by the frequency factor (Fy) from Table 14.6 on p307 of Australian Rainfall & Runoff,
1987 or Table 1.6 on p VIII-19 of Australian Rainfall & Runoff, 1998 as indicated
below
ARI (years) 1 2 5 10 20 50 100

Frequency Factor Fy 0.8 0.85 0.95 1.0 1.05 1.15 1.2
(Fy = CARI/C10)
For residential (R20) development in sandy areas a runoff coefficient of 0.8 (constant)
over the entire road reserve excluding lots is acceptable. Subsoil drains will be
required where the maximum ground water level (MGL) is less than 1.2 metres below
the proposed lot levels. The MGL must be determined from on site ground water
monitoring and historic records, and must be agreed to by the Department of Water.
Refer to Section D5.04 (4& 5) regarding major/minor storm design in Document D5
mentioned in the Introduction.

Hydrology
4. SUMMARY SHEET FOR HYDROLOGICAL
CALCULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR USING
COMPUTER ANALYSIS PROGRAMS (Section D5.07)
Information
4.1 Summary Sheet for Hydrological Calculations Required
Hydrological calculations shall be summarised on the sheet in Appendix A. The

requested data shall be provided for each subcatchment, and also for the catchment as
a whole. Variations to the format are allowed subject to Council approval.
4.2 Requirements for use of Computer Analysis Programs

Requirements for ILSAX are given. For other programs assumptions and criteria used
for the computer program shall be submitted.
Standard ILSAX
4.2.1 ILSAX Parameters
Piped and open channel drainage systems in urban areas may be modelled using
ILSAX for the minor and major. ILSAX is not suitable for modelling rural residential
development. The drainage system shall be modelled for both the minor and major
event, using design durations of 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes.
These events may be modelled as a “stacked storm”. The appropriate rainfall
intensities for the minor and major events shall be selected from section 2 of this
handbook.
Parameters that shall be adopted for the rainfall input file are:
Global value of manning’s “n” 0.015 for concrete pipes

0.011 for PVC pipes
New pipe manning’s “n” 0.013 for concrete pipes
0.011 for PVC pipes
Paved depression storage 2mm
Grassed depression storage 5mm
Soil type 3.0 (clayey soil) 1.0 (sandy soil)
Antecedent moisture content 3.0 (for all events)
Rainfall distribution type 5 (AR&R)
Rainfall zone 8
Parameters that shall be adopted for the rainfall input file are:
Grassed and paved time of entry To be determined for site using kinetic
wave equation and noted in comment line
of input: otherwise use 5 min. for paved
and 10 min. for grassed surfaces.
4
Hydraulics
5. HYDRAULIC CALCULATIONS (Section D5.08)
Hydraulic calculations shall be summarised on the sheet in Appendix A. The

requested information shall be provided for each inlet pit, junction and other hydraulic
constraint. Variations to the format are allowed subject to Council approval.
Gutter Flow
6. GUTTER FLOW (Section D5.09) Widths
The maximum discharge in the kerb and gutter at any one point shall not exceed 15
litres (0.015m3) per second and/or the width of flow shall not exceed the following:
Crown 2.0m
One way crossfall 1.5m
Council will accept design based on Main Roads WA Standards on Piped Systems
(Document 67-08-75); accessible on-line at the Main Roads WA web site.
5
Inlet
7. PIT CAPACITIES (Section D5.10) Characteristics
For design purposes, pit capacities shall be reduced by the following factors to
account for clogging:
On-grade grated kerb inlet pit - multiply by 0.9 (10% reduction)

On-grade grated pit - multiply by 0.5 (50% reduction)
Sag grated pit - multiply by 0.5 (50% reduction)
Sag grated kerb inlet pit - kerb inlet capacity only
Pit capacities shall be determined using the chart shown in Figure 1 at the end of
section 15 for on-grade pits, and the equations shown below for grated sag pits and
side entry sag pits.
For side entry sag pit

Qi = 1.66 L h 1.5
where
Qi = Maximum inlet capacity m3/s
L = Lintel length (assumes grate blocked as per section D5.10)
h = Depth at kerb for maximum allowable gutter flow width
For grated sag pit

Qi = 0.6 A C (19.6 h)0.5
where
Qi = Maximum inlet capacity m3/s
A = Area of clear opening m2
h = Depth at centre of grate for allowable gutter flow width
C = Clogging factor (0.5 for grated sag pit)
For a combined side entry and grated pit

Qi = 1.66Lh1.5 + 1.66Ph1.5
Where Qi = Maximum inlet capacity in m3/s
L = Lintel Length
H = depth at kerb or ponding
P = effective permeter around grate
The formula is valid only if depth of ponding is not greater than 1.4 times the height
of kerb inlet.
Soakwell capacity in sandy areas can be calculated using the following formulae: Soakwells
V = 0.0122Ai (for R25 or lower density coding)

(5 year 10 minute storm)
V = 0.0159Ai (for commercial/industrial/R30 or higher density coding)

(1 year 60 minute storm which is roughly equivalent to the 10 year 12 minute storm )
Where V = Volume of soakwell required in cubic metres

Ai = Impervious area (roof, pavement,etc) in square metres
6
Missouri Charts
8. PRESSURE CHANGE COEFFICIENT CHARTS (Section
D5.11)
Appropriate pressure change coefficients shall be adopted from the Missouri Charts
summarised in Appendix B.
Gutter Flow
9. FLOW ADJUSTMENT FACTORS (Section D5.12)
The general equation recommended in AR&R, Urban Stormwater Management,

Technical Note 4 shall be used to calculate gutter flows, using the following factors:
Flow adjustment factor F = 0.8.

Manning’s ‘n’ values = 0.012 (Concrete)
= 0.014 (Hot-mix)
= 0.018 (Flush seal)
Entrance Loss
10. CULVERT DESIGN CHARTS (Section D5.14) Coefficients
Culverts shall be designed in accordance with the loss parameters contained in Chart
44 in Appendix B.
7
Detention
11. STORMWATER DETENTION DESIGN (Section D5.16) Requirements
Stormwater detention shall be designed so that the peak flow from the design 5, 10, 20
and 100 year ARI events, for durations between 5minutes and 3 hours, does not
exceed the peak flow from the existing site. The peak flow for both the post-
development and pre-development site shall be calculated using the same
methodology. The computer hydrologic modelling programs ILSAX and XP-STORM
are acceptable for the design of detention storages. PC SUMP and the Modified
COPAS method are also acceptable for design of detention basins. Parameters to be
used in ILSAX are outlined in Section 3 of this handbook. Where ILSAX is being
used to model the detention storage, discharge from the outlet shall be determined
using the orifice equation, with the head calculated as:
Outlet head = Elevation - Pipe Diameter

2
Hydraulic analysis of detention storages shall be undertaken, and the drainage plans
submitted to Council shall include an elevation-storage-discharge table for the
detention storage.
Although outlets can be standard diameter pipelines preference shall be given to

orifice controlled outlets. A suitable galvanised steel screen to prevent access to
children but not to trap trash shall cover the outlet from the basin.
Detention basins/devices should be capable of retaining first flush in accordance with

the criteria outlined in the Water & Rivers Commission’s “A manual for managing
urban stormwater quality in Western Australia”(1998) now superseded by the
Department of Water's Stormwater Management Manual for Western Australia (2004-
2007). The design should at all times treat runoff at source, such as infiltration, for
the 1 in 6 months event minimum( 1 year 1 hour storm desirable), before allowing the
runoff into the piped system whenever and wherever possible. Gross pollutant devices
should be incorporated in the drainage system prior to discharge into basins or creek.
8
Pipe
12. CONDUIT AND MATERIAL STANDARDS & CONDUIT Requirements
JOINTING DETAILS (Section D5.18)
Conduits shall comply with the following:-
• Precast Concrete Pipes AS4058-1992

• uPVC Pipes AS1260 (sewer grade)
• uPVC Pipes AS1254
Where precast concrete pipes shall be subject to tidal influence, salt water concrete
cover (Exposure Classification B2 or C) shall be specified.
The class of pipe shall be selected for the anticipated loading on the buried pipe and
be in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. The minimum cover to be
provided over conduits shall generally be 450mm for areas not subject to vehicular
loading ie: clear of road reserve, and 600mm for areas subject to vehicular loadings.
For concrete pipes, compaction and pipe support in conduit trenches shall be to the
requirements of AS3725-1989 and to AS3725 Supplement 1 -1989. For pipes under
road pavement minimum class for rubber ring jointed reinforced concrete pipes
required is 4.
Rubber Ringed spigot and socket pipes shall be used for all sizes of pipe.
Where multiple pipes are used, they shall be spaced sufficiently to permit adequate
compaction of the fill between the pipes. The minimum spacing between the outer
face of the walls of multiple pipes shall be 300mm for pipes of 600mm diameter or
less and 600mm for pipes of diameter greater than 600mm. Generally uPVC pipes are
not allowed within road reserve.
Scour Protection
13. GUIDELINES FOR SCOUR PROTECTION AT OUTLETS
(Section D5.20)
Scour protection shall be provided at the outlet of all conduits which discharge into
open channels. The design of scour protection shall include consideration of the
following:
Scour protection shall generally be provided by rip-rap (minimum 75mm diameter),

grouted riprap or gabions. The minimum depth of rip-rap shall be 150mm and the rip
rap can be 50mm all in railway ballast.
The length of the scour protection shall extend a minimum of 3.0metres beyond the
headwall.
Any subgrade fill shall be compacted to the density of the surrounding undisturbed
material.
A toewall of minimum depth 500mm shall be provided at the downstream end of the
scour protection. The exit velocity at end of structure for ARI of 1 in 5 year storm
shall not exceed 1.5 metres per second.
9
Easements
14. REQUIREMENTS FOR STORMWATER DRAINAGE
EASEMENTS (Section D5.17 & D5.20)
A 3 m minimum width drainage easment is required for all piped stormwater lines less
than 3m deep through private property. For deeper drains easement width needs to be
assessed by Council. All easement shall be of sufficient width to contain all
stormwater pits and pipes and to allow sufficient width for maintenance requirements.
Easements for stormwater drains under 375mm diameter shall benefit the upstream
properties while lines of 375mm diameter and over shall be in favour of the City of
Swan Council.
Easements shall be provided over all non-piped drainage systems such as open drains
through private property. The easements shall be a minimum of 5 metres for defined
channels and 10 metres for dispersed flows.
The City of Swan Council shall be the authority empowered in all instances to vary or
extinguish stormwater easements.
