Revised Sewerage Risk Management (SRM) launched

The Sewerage Rehabilitation Manual 4th Edition has now been extensively revised, updated, extended and developed into the Sewerage Risk Management 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, and 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 are 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.
