FOREWORD

National Water Services Commission (SPAN) was established in 2007 to regulate

the water services industry in Malaysia. SPAN envisions a sustainable, reliable and
affordable water services for all by regulating the water services industry through fair,
effective and transparent implementation of the Water Services Industry Act (Act
655). Since its inception, SPAN has been fully committed in instituting improvements
including the emphasis on raising standards and performance in the country’s water
and sewerage services sector.

Besides this, SPAN aims to increase its efforts towards improving the quality and
operational efficiency of water and sewerage services industry to ensure
sustainability. One of the approaches in line with this goal is by developing technical
drawings for sewerage systems used in the industry. Hence, the identification and
evaluation of national, regional and international standards have been made by
SPAN’s Sewerage Regulatory Department to formulate technical and performance
specifications for adaptation in sewerage industry.

This publication of Technical Drawing on Standard and Typical Drawing for

Sewerage System Part 1: Sewer and Appurtenances – Gravity Sewer is a result of a
joint effort of the various relevant stakeholders of the industry. The drawing contains
standardisation criteria for gravity sewers utilising both rigid and flexible pipes as a
guiding principle for their design and construction requirements.

The development of technical and performance specifications in the form of a

technical drawing is crucial for a higher and uniformed standard which will surely
benefit the local sewerage industry. With its publication, it is hoped that it will
contribute towards better planned and well-organised development of new sewerage
systems to fulfil long-term infrastructure requirements and obligations.
