Request changes for Outfall

Asset TypeDescriptionAsset CodeUniclass 2015Geometry Type
OutfallThe structure at the point where surface water drains discharge into a watercourse or the sea.
Outfalls may have a flap valve or gate fitted to prevent reversal of flow during flood flows. If the flap is simple non-return valve that opens and closes under the force of the flow, then this is an element of the outfall.
If there is a control gate such as a penstock which can be adjusted or controlled, this should be classified as a separate control gate asset.
Where smaller watercourses discharge into larger watercourses through culverted sections, these should be recorded as culverts with or without a control gate asset as applicable.
