Insights / Water & Drainage
Water follows the three-dimensional track, not the drawing sheet.
Drainage performance depends on levels, crossfall, transitions, pavement texture, collection systems, climate and the paths vehicles use in wet conditions.
Simulate the water before construction.
Standing water often appears where several small geometric decisions combine: a crest, a long transition, insufficient crossfall, a blocked escape path or a local construction tolerance. Dromo studies the continuous three-dimensional surface so flow paths and vulnerable areas can be identified before work begins.
The response may involve geometry, surface correction, inlets, channels or wider site drainage. On existing circuits, measurement and observed wet-weather behaviour help distinguish a local symptom from a systemic levels problem.
Questions and decisions
Resolve water at every scale.
Climate and events
Define rainfall assumptions, operational thresholds and the consequences of water on track.
02Surface model
Analyse longitudinal profile, crossfall and transitions continuously.
03Flow paths
Identify concentration, ponding, sheet flow and crossings of likely vehicle trajectories.
04Collection
Coordinate track edges, channels, inlets and outfalls with safety and maintenance.
05Construction tolerance
Set and verify levels where small deviations can change drainage behaviour.
06Operating evidence
Use surveys, inspection and wet-weather observations to guide targeted corrections.

Find the water path before it becomes an incident.
Dromo can analyse a proposed surface, investigate an existing drainage issue or verify levels during construction.
