Filter Substrate Drainage Channels
The Filter Substrate Drainage Channel Calculator was developed in collaboration with HAURATON, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of stormwater management systems. It provides civil engineers, drainage designers, and landscape architects with an intuitive tool for designing decentralized stormwater treatment systems.
Selecting the appropriate filter substrate drainage channel requires only a few steps. The design is based on the selected calculation method (full-flow or partial-flow treatment), the application type, the load class, and the connected catchment area. Based on these inputs, the application automatically determines the hydraulic requirements and recommends suitable drainage channel systems.
The tool takes into account relevant technical standards, including DWA-A 102 and DIBt approvals, ensuring that the proposed solutions comply with current engineering and regulatory requirements.
The application available in Germany.
Input Parameters
To correctly size a filter substrate drainage channel system, the following information is required:
- Application type
- Planned drainage channel length
- Load class
- Design rainfall return period
In addition, all connected catchment areas and their corresponding runoff coefficients must be entered into the application.
Results
The calculator provides a tailored product recommendation for filter substrate drainage channels, including:
- Product specifications (e.g. dimensions and retention volume)
- Required drainage channel length and number of outlets
- Comparison of selected product variants
The application also generates a graphical layout of the drainage channel run, showing the arrangement of individual components such as start, intermediate, and end sections, as well as catch basins. This supports both the technical design process and installation planning.
Download the Calculation Results
Once the calculation is complete, the results can be downloaded as a PDF report and incorporated directly into project documentation.
Users can also contact HAURATON for further assistance with product selection, design verification, or quotation requests.
