SUMP PUMP CALCULATION Date 18-05-14

PROJECT : VANTAGE @ PLOT NO.JVC 18TCP006

Sump Pump – 1 (Located at Underground Pump room)

Assumptions,

Water Tank Total Capacity = 539 Cu. m

Assume Half of tank will drain in 12 hours

Q = 539/ 2 / 12

Q = 22.45 Cu. m / hour

Q = 374 LPM

Sump pit is provided with volume 2 x 2 x 2 m = 6 Cu. m = 6000 Liters

(Including Free Board)

The sump pit can hold the drain water for 16 minutes.

The sump pump shall be able to empty the sump pit in 15 minutes

Therefore the sump pump capacity shall be, 374 LPM = 6.23 LPS

With factor of safety 15%, the pump capacity will be 7.2 LPS

Static head = 5 m

Friction loss due fittings and Horizontal piping= 2.5 m

Outlet pressure = 5 m

Subtotal = 5+2.5+5=12.5 m

Considering 15% safety factor = 14.375m, say 15 m

Hence the sump pump selected for 7.2 LPS @ 15 m (1 Duty + 1 Standby).
