CPD

Industry leading knowledge, from an industry leading manufacturer.

Gatic’s CPD presentations on Surface Water Drainage and Access Covers are designed to support construction professionals in making informed, compliant and sustainable specification decisions. Drawing on decades of experience, our sessions explore the critical role that high‑performance drainage and access solutions play in protecting infrastructure, managing water effectively and enhancing safety across a wide range of environments.

Through clear guidance and practical insight, these CPDs address key considerations such as load classification, material selection, hydraulic performance, installation best practice and long‑term maintenance. They also examine current standards, regulations and future challenges facing urban drainage, including climate resilience and whole‑life value.

Developed for engineers, architects, specifiers, contractors and asset owners, Gatic’s CPDs are independently assessed and structured to provide meaningful professional development that can be directly applied to live projects. Whether you are seeking to refresh your knowledge or deepen your understanding of specialist surface water management systems, our CPD programme delivers trusted expertise backed by proven product innovation.

Explore our CPD modules and enhance your understanding of how effective drainage and access cover solutions contribute to safer, smarter and more resilient built environments. 

This CPD introduces the principles of external linear drainage and how effective surface water management can be achieved through good design and correct specification.

The presentation includes:

  • An overview of linear vs point drainage systems
  • Key design considerations, including flow assessment and peak run‑off
  • Standards, load classifications and product selection to BS EN 1433
  • Installation options, maintenance and whole‑life performance


The session provides practical guidance to support safe, compliant and resilient surface water drainage solutions.

This CPD focuses on the correct selection and specification of engineered access covers and gratings to ensure safety, performance and compliance.
