Storm Sewer Design
(OP)
When designing storm sewers, matching crowns seems to be the standard. Is there any opinion that matching the HGL of the pipes to be a better design?
Thanks,

great question...

Matching the HGL is the most correct and accurate method. But it takes so much iteration and changes so little in most cases, that it is rarely done. I prefer to match crowns, and always find it to be sufficient. Many people just match inverts, and when you get right down to it, that is probably sufficient also.

If anyone is wondering what I am talking about, then I suggest that you read up on the subjet, or refer the design to a qualified person. Rules of thumb should never be substituted for proper engineering.
