WRc launches new approach to Sewerage Risk Management
Posted: Wednesday 21st January 2009
The WRc Group have now extensively revised and updated The Sewerage Rehabilitation Manual 4th Edition by extending and developing it into the Sewerage Risk Management (SRM) website.
The SRM presents an iterative, comprehensive risk based approach to the management of sewer system assets compatible with EN752:2008 Drain and Sewer Systems Outside Buildings and the UKWIR Common Framework which is able to take account of strategic drivers such as climate change adaptation and integrated urban drainage management.
The key changes include:
- Performance assessment approach being explicitly risk based;
- Risk based tools provided for many of the most important risks;
- Allowance of greater flexibility in the scale of analysis (not just drainage area);
- Hydraulic investigation updated to take account of latest technologies and the need for Integrated Urban Drainage Management;
- Sewer condition grading updated to include the new codes in MSCC4.
The introductory part of the website is in the public domain. The detailed methodology and reference information is available to interested parties on a subscription basis.
