02. DESIGN CHALLENGES AND ENGINEERING SOLUTION OF WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS IN
HIGH RISE BUILDINGS
DESIGN CHALLENGES ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS
Low water pressure first step is to identify the causes
installing a booster pump when low pressure

is due to clogged piping causes unnecessary
energy expenses and may even cause pipes
to burst.
Adequate water supply pressure and Clogged pipes are often found in older
plumbing system issues installations, where accumulation of rust and
sediment over time causes a drastic reduction
in the internal diameter of piping, occasionally
blocking pipes completely. Sometimes the
damage is evident on the surface as well, but
a pipe can also appear to be in working
condition while being clogged internally. The
piping can sometimes be cleaned and
restored, but may need a replacement if the
damage is extensive.
getting a professional inspection of the

building.
Pressure regulation issues One solution is to equip each level that

requires water pressure reduction with its own
PRV. Each PRV can then be individually
calibrated to deliver optimal pressure to its
respective floor. However, this approach adds
both to initial project costs and maintenance
requirements for the system.
