Stormwater Drainage Design
Stormwater Modelling & Surface Water Management
In an era of shifting climate patterns, stormwater management has become a critical component of urban infrastructure in the UAE.
MEWS Engineering Services provides advanced hydraulic modelling and drainage design services that support flood mitigation and resilient infrastructure planning while ensuring full compliance with Dubai Municipality drainage and irrigation standards.
Network Design & Hydraulic Optimization
Design of stormwater drainage networks including pipelines, culverts and manholes with hydraulic optimisation to ensure efficient flow velocities and reduced sedimentation.
2D Flood Modelling & Risk Assessment
We utilise advanced hydraulic modelling tools to simulate surface water flow and identify flood risks within urban developments. This includes identifying potential bottlenecks and ponding areas to ensure drainage systems can accommodate extreme rainfall events.
Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems
Integration of sustainable drainage systems including permeable surfaces and nature-based infrastructure to reduce runoff and enhance environmental performance.
Attenuation & Detention Solutions
Design of infrastructure systems that control peak runoff, including underground attenuation tanks, infiltration systems and pumped drainage solutions for low-lying developments.
Authority Approvals & Regulatory Coordination
Our engineering team provides support throughout the regulatory approval process, including:
Preparation of technical design reports for the Dubai Municipality submission
Coordination with relevant authorities regarding drainage infrastructure impacts
GIS-based catchment mapping and hydraulic modelling
Alignment with long-term infrastructure planning frameworks
This ensures drainage designs meet applicable authority standards and approval requirements.
Engineering Methods
Hydrological analysis using the Rational Method and NRCS Unit Hydrograph adapted for local rainfall intensity data.
These tools allow accurate modelling of drainage systems and optimisation of infrastructure design performance.
Hydraulic Modelling Software
Our engineering team uses advanced hydraulic modelling tools, including:
SewerGEMS
InfoWorks ICM
EPA SWMM
AutoCAD Civil 3D
