How to implement a trench drain (water/afvoergoot)?

Sofie

In Tygron, you got the action/measure to upgrade your road to a U-gutter. When implementing this measure, I cannot see any effect of this measure in the Rainfall model (Do I miss something here, a well), and in almost the entire layer, I cannot implement the measure, only in the right corner (see image below). However, the measure that I actually try to implement is a trench drain or in dutch called watergoot/afvoergoot. Only I have no clue on how to do this, and it is also important that this measure is connected to the sewage system.

Does anyone know how to do this? or at least knows in what kind of direction I have to look into?

I hope you can help me!

PS. The goal of this measure is to reduce flooding in the streets where a high groundwater level is present (any other ideas of measures are also welcome 😊)

Hello @Sofie ,

Thanks for your post! I think you are mixed up about measures and upgrades.

I think this webinar about actions, measures and upgrades can help you allot (video in the top of this page). https://support.tygron.com/wiki/Upgrades

Here we explain how to create new pairs for upgrades (in this case needed to make sure you can upgrade more roads to U-gutter roads and not only in the right corner of your project ;P ).

My advice about make the difference more visable is to work with the difference overlay, this overlay highlights the difference between the current and future situation. https://support.tygron.com/wiki/Difference_(Overlay)

Also to get back to your question for other actions/measures/upgrades in your project...., I think water permeable parking lots, create more open water and to connect open water with other open water are some tips to create more water storage in your project.

Than about the U-gutter beeing connected to the sewersystem, all functions have attributes and in these attributes there is an attribute that says if it is connected to the sewersystem (1 means it is connected, 0 means it is not connected). You can make sure the functions are connected and if you did set a sewer system this should work as you intend.

Hi @Hansje ,

Thank you very much! This will help me a lot. I am going to watch the videos and I think I can figure it out then.

Kind regards,

Hi @Hansje ,

I am trying out the roads with U-gutter while using the upgrade function as said in the video. Really helpful I have to say!

However, I was wondering if U-gutters work if you have no sewage system integrated into the Tygron (this is not automatically integrated, but from what I heard this is possible)? We do have the information of the sewage system but we are still really struggling on how to implement this in Tygron.

Also, it is not possible to edit an existing update? (see image below page)

Could you please tell me what the problem could be and how to fix this?

Thank you in advance!

kind regards,

Sofie

PS. This is how the streets look when I upgraded to a U-gutter/Trench drain:

Hi @Sofie ,

Thanks for your reply!

Did you see this documentation yet about adding sewer system data? https://support.tygron.com/wiki/How_to_add_sewer_data_(Water_Overlay)

On this page you get more info about the serwer model that you can use in the platform in case you don't have acces to accurate sewer data so that can also be an option (this page includes a video about importing sewer data btw) https://support.tygron.com/wiki/Sewer_model_(Water_Overlay)

And than of course the How to generate a serwer: https://support.tygron.com/wiki/How_to_generate_a_sewer

I hope this info helps you to implement a sewer in your project!

About the upgrade, we provide some predefined upgrade pairs in the platform and is correct that you cannot edit these default options. If you would like to create new pairs for U gutters and/or other upgrade types you need to create a new category and include the new pairs yourself.
