Period of design is indefinite as the system is designed to care
for the maximum development of area which it serves.

-Use of Qmax (maximum flow) for sewer design


-Use of Qmin (minimum flow) to check velocities during
low flow

1.Preliminary Investigation
• Obtain maps and drawings that furnish following information about the area
Population Density ,Water consumption, Soil
characteristics, Natural slope, Disposal points,
Groundwater table, Rocks, underground structure,
Rainfall data, Location of Water & Gas pipes, Electric
conduits.

• Maps should also highlight the location of streets, parks ,


buildings etc.

Note: Sewerage systems are operated under gravity whereas water supply
systems are operated under pressure

16-02-2021 Lecture # 01 CE-341 – Environmental Engineering-1 Engr.Gul-e-Hina IEER UET Lahore 8


1.Preliminary Investigation

detailed survey of the area to do the needful
• Establish Bench Marks throughout the area and make
contours profiles and cross sections
• Mark surface elevations at street intersections.
• Make profile of the street through which sewer has to run.
• Use a different scales e.g ( 1:1000 to 1:3000 for making
map)

16-02-2021 Lecture # 01 CE-341 – Environmental Engineering-1 Engr.Gul-e-Hina IEER UET Lahore 9


1.Preliminary Investigation

• Soil conditions should be investigated for the type of

2.Design Criteria Consideration
(1) Design Flow – Calculation of avg. sewage flow on the
basis of water consumption and the population at the end
of design period
(a) Sanitary Sewer
Q design= Peak sewage flow + Infiltration
(b) Partially Combined Sewer
Q design= Peak sewage flow +Storm flow+ Infiltration
WASA Criteria (Peak sewage flow = Storm flow)
Q design= 2 x Peak sewage flow + Infiltration

16-02-2021 Lecture # 01 CE-341 – Environmental Engineering-1 Engr.Gul-e-Hina IEER UET Lahore 11


2.Design Criteria Consideration

2.Design Criteria Consideration
(3)Minimum Self cleansing velocity
•Sewage should flow at all times with sufficient
velocity to prevent settlement of solid matter in the
sewer
•Self cleansing velocity is minimum velocity that
ensures non-settlement of suspended matter in the
sewer

oSanitary sewer = 0.6m/s


oStorm sewer= 1m/s
oPartially combined = 0.7m/s
16-02-2021 Lecture # 01 CE-341 – Environmental Engineering-1 Engr.Gul-e-Hina IEER UET Lahore 13
2.Design Criteria Consideration
(4)Maximum Velocity
Should not be greater than 2.4m/s
-To avoid excessive sewer abrasion
-To avoid steep slopes

(5)Minimum Sewer Size


-225mm for lateral WASA
-To avoid chocking of sewer with bigger size objects
which enters through manholes(bricks ,shrubs etc.)

Numericals (Design of sewer)
Numerical
1. Design a sanitary sewer to serve a population of 7000 persons. The per capita water consumption is 400
lpcd. Adopt suitable design criteria.
Solution:
Population =7000 persons
Per capita WC = 400 lpcd
Design a sanitary sewer=?
1. Average sewage flow (ASF)
ASF=0.80*population* Lpcd
ASF=0.80*7000*400=2240000L/d=2240m3/d
2. Assume infiltration=10% of ASF
Infiltration = 0.10*2240=224 m3/d
3. Peak factor=M=1+14/4+(P)0.5=3.10
4. Peak sewage flow=3.10*2240=6944m3/d
5. Design flow=Qd= PSF+ infiltration
=6944+224=7168m3/d=0.083m3/sec
6. For sanitary sewer V=0.6 m/s

Sewers Flowing Partially Full
• It is necessary to determine velocity and depth of sewage in a pipe when it is
flowing only partially full.
• For this , use of graph will allow quick computation of the hydraulic elements of
partially flow circular sewer.

16-02-2021 Lecture # 01 CE-341 – Environmental Engineering-1 Engr.Gul-e-Hina IEER UET Lahore 31


Sewers Flowing Partially Full

• For using this graph , it is necessary to calculate the hydraulics elements or design
parameters when a sewer is flowing full.

CE-341 – Environmental Engineering-1 Engr.Gul-e-Hina IEER UET Lahore 32
Significance of partial flow study
Conditions during partial flow, must frequently determined in combined/ partially
combined sewers due to following reasons:
1. To investigate velocities during dry weather flow to eliminate possibilities of
deposits occurring in pipes.
2. Knowledge of depth of flow is of value in designing sewer intersections.
Large sewers should be brought together at elevations so that water may not
back up into the other.

Design of Storm Sewer
Storm Sewer
• To design a storm sewer system, it is necessary to determine the flow
which each segment must carry.

• Main Source = Rainfall

16-02-2021 Lecture # 01 CE-341 – Environmental Engineering-1 Engr.Gul-e-Hina IEER UET Lahore 36


Rational Method
• Simplest method used for estimating the quantity of
flow
• This procedure relates:
❑Storm flow to the rainfall intensity

❑Storm flow to the tributary (flowing area)

❑A co-efficient C which presents the combined effects


of surface storage, infiltration, and evaporation

16-02-2021 Lecture # 01 CE-341 – Environmental Engineering-1 Engr.Gul-e-Hina IEER UET Lahore 37


Rational Method
Hence,

Where,
Q=Actual amount of rainfall that appears as runoff (m3/hr)
A=Area drained (m2)
I=Intensity of rainfall (m3/m2/hr)
C=Co-efficient of runoff

16-02-2021 Lecture # 01 CE-341 – Environmental Engineering-1 Engr.Gul-e-Hina IEER UET Lahore 38

Calculation of invert levels
Invert Level
• The lowest inside level at any cross-section of a sewer is known as the INVERT
LEVEL at that cross section.

SIGNIFICANCE:
• Sewers must be laid at a particular slope to attain self cleansing velocities. The
required slope (while laying the sewers) is achieved through calculations of
invert levels.

Gradients in Pipes

16-02-2021 Lecture # 01 CE-341 – Environmental Engineering-1 Engr.Gul-e-Hina IEER UET Lahore 58


Gradients in Pipes

A gradient may be defined as fall divided by distance.

GRADIENT = FALL / DISTANCE

For example is a 24 meter section of drainage pipe has a fall of 0.30 metres, calculate the
gradient.

Gradient = 0.30 / 24
Gradient = 0.0125
This can be converted into a gradient written as a ratio or 1: some number.

Gradient = 1 / 0.0125 = 80
Gradient = 1 in 80

The above formula may be rearranged for Fall if the gradient is known:

FALL = GRADIENT X DISTANCE

16-02-2021 Lecture # 01 CE-341 – Environmental Engineering-1 Engr.Gul-e-Hina IEER UET Lahore 59


Gradients in Pipes

For example, calculate the fall in a 50 meters section of water pipework if


the gradient is to be 1 in 80.

A gradient of 1 in 80 is converted to a number instead of a ratio.

1 / 80 = 0.0125

Fall = Gradient x Distance

Fall = 0.0125 x 50

Fall = 0.625 meters or 625mm.

Calculation of Invert Level
SINGLE SEWER:
✓U/S Invert Level = NGSL/RL – Depth of Sewer – Thickness of Sewer
– Dia of Sewer
✓ D/S Invert Level = U/S Invert Level – Drop (Length x slope)
TWO OR MORE SEWERS OF SAME SIZE:
When equal dia sewers discharge in a manhole and the same dia sewers
receives the total discharge, LOWEST D/S I.L. among the discharging
sewers will be carried as U/S I.L. for the receiving sewer.
SEWERS OF DIFFERENT SIZE:
When receiving sewer dia is greater than the discharging sewer;
✓Keep the crowns at the same level
✓Drop the U/S I.L. of the receiving sewer by the difference in the dia
of the two sewers.
