Masterdrain Foul was developed after repeated requests for a foul drainage program along similar lines to the surface water design program. Many of the features that are found in Masterdrain SW are to be found in this program also - this reduces the learning curve for existing users, and also reduces the overall load on new users. The program gives full hydraulic data for a drainage system, including proportional velocities and flows, and hydraulic mean depth.
The program caters for two methods of sizing using Discharge Units or a flow calculated on the head of population. The program uses the newer BS EN12056 values.
This is a new program, written for the 32 bit operating systems - Win95/8, NT4.0, Win2000 / XP.
As with the surface water program, the version number reflects these changes - for version 2.51, the two represents major changes, such as a new group of functions on the menu bar, the five is incremented with minor changes such as a new function on a drop-down menu bar. The one is incremented with minor changes to the code.
The program is under constant development to increase the functions available, and to decrease the learning curve. Many of the functions have been suggested by engineers that have requested this program, and further suggestions or comments are welcomed.
