 TECHNICAL & FINANCIAL PROPOSAL FOR PLUMPING & MECHANICAL WORK 3

1. General
The mechanical Firefighting and plumbing design work shall follow the requirements
given on the Ethiopian Building Code standard, plumbing services of buildings (ES-
3960, British (BS) or similar codes and standards.

The envisaged service in preview form is:

a) Carryout detailed engineering design.

b) Preparing relevant drawing and documents.

c) Preparing technical specification and bill of quantities and cost estimate.

2. Plumbing

2.1. Design Aspects

The main important design aspects to be considered are:

a) Pipe materials – The plumbing piping system shall be from durable material, free
from defective workmanship and so designed as to give satisfactory service for its
expected life.

Recommended pipe materials are:

i) Water supply – a - Galvanized steel for fire fighting

b - PPR for branch/horizontal and riser water supply

pipes.

ii) Drainage - uPVC pipes

b) Drainage system – The drainage system will be designed to guard against fouling,
deposit of solids and closing, and with adequate clean out so arranged that the

 pipes shall be readily cleaned. The drainage pipe layouts shall also be designed,
in such a way that it will be accessible for maintenance and replacement.

c) Water supply - Water source to the new Apartment shall be from municipal water
supply system. Municipal water will be stored for min. two days’ water demand &
water distribution to the internal fixtures shall be from bedrooms with automatic
booster pumps/with pressure vessel/ to be installed in the basement.

2.2. Plumbing systems

2.2.1. Internal hot & cold water supply

Individual storage electric water heater will be designed. Municipal cold water will be
treated with filtration & chlorination to meet standard or requirement.

Cold water distribution shall be as described in item 2.1.c above. Approved quality
isolating & control valves, drain and safety valves, air release valves, etc will be
provided as required.

2.2.2 Drainage system

All drainage pipes including venting pipes will be sized as per the requirements given
in ES-3960 or approved standards and cods /Depending of the position of fixtures
and drainage pipe connection.

Two drainage systems namely liquid & solid waste will be designed.

a) Liquid waste system - Hand wash basins, showers, laundry machines & etc
wastes shall be drained to directly to filtration pit though sedimentation tank.

b) Solid waste - All water closets & urinals will be drained to directly to
cesspool/septic tank.

3. Firefighting system
One automatic fire booster pumps with diesel stand-by pump & adequate for min. two
hours water reservoir will be designed. The pump house, water reservoir & fire
hydrant locations will be coordinated with the architect before the design is
completed.

The designed will include:

a- Internal hose reels & hydrants as required

4. Storm Water Drainage

IDF curve of Addis Ababa is used to specify rainfall intensities. Catchments
characteristics are used to estimate the volume and flow rate of the runoff from the
rainfall using the rational formula. The manning equation is used to calculate pipe
and or channel size necessary to convey the calculated rate of flow.

5. Ventilation and air conditioning system

5.1. Ventilation system
The ventilation system shall be for toilets, stores car parking and kitchen areas these
areas appropriately rated with exhaust fans that will discharge to roof.

6. Design Standards and Codes

a. HVAC
o Ethiopian building code standard (ES-3960, & 3962)

o Chartered Institute of Building Service Engineers Guide

(CIBSE),

o British standard (BS) and relevant standard codes of practice

will be adopted for designing the HVAC system depending on
the specific requirement. ASHARE Standards

b. Plumbing
