Small pipe, straight pit, all parameters given including Manning's n and pit loss K
Hgl Check
Computes the hydraulic grade line (HGL) at the upstream pit of a single stormwater pipe reach using Manning's equation for friction loss and a pit loss coefficient for junction losses. Checks whether the HGL remains below the pit surface level with adequate clearance to prevent surcharging, following ARR 2019 and local council DCP methods.
