CE 322 PROJECT 1

1.0 Project Title

Design of a Stand-by water Supply System for Civil Engineering Department

2.0 Project Description

This is a water supply project that will serve as a backup/standby system that will sustain the
department .You are expected to work in your laboratory groups and submit individual reports at the
end of week 12. Your design should be based on a continuous supply just as Water PNG, and should be
switched off when not needed. The design stages include;

(i) Doing a survey on water usage in the department on a daily basis. This should consider
any developments in the next ten years (Info can be obtained from Mr. Isan).
(ii) Locating a water source (Possible Aquifer (Well) inside the campus perimeter)
(iii) Obtain/establish standing water Level and aquifer recharge rate(using soil permeability
information)
(iv) Consider the height of the aquifer
(v) Design for and select the pumping rate and duration on a daily basis
(vi) Design for and select the Pump
a. Consider the depth of the well
b. Consider the elevation profile from the well location to the storage tank.
(vii) Design rising main pipeline (pipeline from pump to storage tank)
(viii) Design of storage tank/s to cater for demand (size, elevation etc). The storage tank should
be located at the Civil engineering premises.
a. Design tank capacity based on 3 days demand storage capacity.
b. Determine reservoir head and flow rate to meet standard demand duty.

(ix) Design the distribution network system from the storage tank to the Civil engineering
department.
(x) Using the already established pipe network system for the department (Can be obtained
from Mr. Isan), calculate the max and min flow rates in each pipe and at each tap.
(xi) Do overall costing for all testing, design, equipment and implementation costs, with
quotations for equipment and testing.

(Include all design calculations clearly under each labelled design)

Notes: (All friction losses should be calculated for/assumed for, and catered for by the pump).

1. Head and friction loss calculations, use Darcy Friction Loss Formula or other
2. To calculate friction losses using Darcy Friction Loss Formula the following parameters are
required

Given Data
a. Flow Rate (Q)
b. Pipe Inside Diameter (D)
c. Kinematic Viscosity (ν)
