Gravity pipe network interference check

After designing your drainage models, it is important to check for clashes between all known utility models. Catching and addressing clashes at the user level avoids the clashes at higher levels (discipline and company collaboration, for instance) reducing rework and meeting time. In this module, you will identify how to select the networks for interference checking. Next, you will define the criteria in which an interference happens. Lastly, you navigate to each interference.


Module overview

After designing your drainage models, it is important to check for clashes between all known utility models. Catching and addressing clashes at the user level avoids the clashes at higher levels (discipline and company collaboration, for instance) reducing rework and meeting time. In this module, you will identify how to select the networks for interference checking. Next, you will define the criteria in which an interference happens. Lastly, you navigate to each interference.

This module takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. By the end of the module, you should be able to: 

  • Select the pipe networks 
  • Set the interference reporting criteria 
  • Navigate and correct the interferences
