Pipes

Pipes are conduits in stormwater drainage systems, designed to transport captured runoff from one node to another. Pipes play a vital role in urban drainage by efficiently managing stormwater runoff a…

In stormwater modeling and drainage system design, understanding the behavior of water as it flows through a closed conduit, such as a pipe or culvert, is essential. One crucial aspect to determine th…

In GeoSTORM, pipes can be defined by either drawing or assigning polylines on the Map View using the following commands: Draw Pipes Assign Pipes After adding pipes to a stormwater project, the user ca…

In GeoSTORM software, the Assign Pipe Invert Elevations command allows the user to assign pipe invert elevations based on the defined invert computation methods. In addition, this command allows the u…

In GeoSTORM software, the user can assign invert elevations to project elements, such as routing reach and roadway segments based on the selected terrain surface. Following are the types of commands t…

In GeoSTORM software, the Renumber Interconnected Pipes command allows the user to automatically renumber pipes and connected manholes along a defined pipe path. Follow the steps below to use the Renu…

The process of georeferencing a pipe to the Map View can be a trial and error process—especially when the exact location of the original pipe is not known. The Georeference Pipes command of GeoSTORM s…

In GeoSTORM, the Recompute Pipe Properties command allows the user to recompute pipe properties, such as pipe lengths, pipe slopes, and maximum and minimum pipe cover based upon connected manholes. Fo…

In GeoSTORM software, the Pipe Table Edit command allows the user to view and edit all the parameters of the pipes in a single editable data grid. The user can also view the corresponding output resul…

This article describes how the Merge Pipes command of GeoSTORM software allows the user to merge two or more connected pipes into a single pipe. Notes: When merging pipes, the attributes of the select…
