The Elbasan Industrial Yard Stormwater Drainage Project involves the hydraulic engineering and detailed design of a surface water drainage system for an industrial metal-processing materials storage area in Elbasan, Albania. The project is developed to manage rainfall runoff from paved operational surfaces, providing controlled water collection and conveyance through the site drainage infrastructure.
The drainage system incorporates designed surface gradients, collection channels, grated drainage inlets and associated underground drainage pipes. The hydrological assessment applies the Rational Method, considering the characteristics of the paved surface, design rainfall intensity and contributing drainage areas. The hydraulic design is based on a 10-year rainfall event, with localized surface gradients directing stormwater towards designated collection and discharge points.
The engineering scope includes hydraulic calculations, drainage network assessment and detailed layout design, integrating the stormwater collection system with the existing industrial site infrastructure. The project provides the technical documentation required for implementing an organized drainage system and reducing the risk of uncontrolled surface water accumulation within the industrial yard.
