SERVICEABILITY REPORT

REPORT No. R-813-88A

DATED FEBRUARY 2014

T. L. MAK ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LTD.

FEBRUARY 2014

REF. FILE No. 813-88


1.) INTRODUCTION

The commercial land under consideration is proposed for a three-storey retail/office building
development site. It is situated on the south side of Camelot Drive and east of Cleopatra Drive.

The proposed three-storey retail/office building is approximately 750.0 sq. m in area size. The
total gross floor area is reported to be 2,223.0 sq. m.

The size of the site development property under consideration is ± 0.290 ha. In addition to the
three-storey retail/office building, the other development features will comprise of two entrance
asphalt access roads, parking areas, concrete walkways, landscape area, etc. to meet
City of Ottawa site plan requirements.

A geotechnical investigation report was prepared for this site by Houle Chevrier Engineering Ltd.
(Project No. 14-001 dated February 11, 2014.

This report will serve to provide the City of Ottawa with our serviceability brief to address the
proposed servicing scheme for this site.

2.) EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS AND SERVICING

Presently, the said commercial property is vacant and mostly asphalt for equipment storage use.
The land is relatively flat and drains predominantly from an east to west direction across the lot.
The existing ground surface of the lot across from the site is mostly asphalt covered with some
vegetation cover at the north end of the property.

As for the availability of underground services, there are existing municipal services along
Camelot Drive consisting of the following main sizes: a 2100 mm diameter storm sewer, a
450 mm diameter sanitary sewer and a 300 mm diameter watermain. Two sets of existing
services laterals were dropped off by the subdivision developer (see details shown on
Annis, O’Sullivan, Vollebekk Ltd.’s topographical plan).

3.) PROPOSED RETAIL/OFFICE BUILDING SITE

Two vehicle entrances with one located at the southwest corner and the other at the northeast
corner of the site are proposed to serve this property along with access roadways from these
entranceways to direct vehicular traffic in and out of the site. Vehicular parking will be available
at the rear of the site south of the proposed building as well as along the east side of the building.

A.) Water Supply

Based on previous discussions with the owner, the building will not be installed with a sprinkler
system, therefore, the three-storey building will be serviced with a 50 mm diameter water service
pipe.

-1-
Based on the City’s current boundary conditions provided from an e-mail dated January 27, 2014
for hydraulic analysis at 60 Camelot Drive (refer to Appendix A) in which the three-storey
commercial building development is being serviced from a 300mm diameter watermain, the
calculated boundary conditions (HGL) are as follows:
Minimum HGL = 126.4 m
Maximum HGL = 130.8 m
Max Day + Fire Flow (183 L/s) = 124.2 m
Max Day + Fire Flow (267 L/s) = 122.1 m

Using the above stated hydraulic grade lines (HGLs), the resulting pressures at the ground
elevation of 88.3 m (adjacent to the site) are determined as follows:

Minimum Pressures

Minimum pressure = (126.4 m - 88.3 m) x 1.422 psi/m = 54 psi (374 kPa); this value is above the
minimum design guideline value of 40 psi (276 kPa) for typical 2 storey developments. Since
the proposed development is to be 3 storeys, we allow for an additional pressure loss of 5 psi for
every storey above 2 storeys to account for the difference in elevation head minor pipe friction
loss. The resulting equivalent minimum pressure becomes 45 psi. The minimum reported
boundary condition pressure is greater than 45 psi and therefore considered to be acceptable.

Maximum Pressures

Maximum pressure = (130.8 m – 88.3 m) x 1.422 psi/m = 60 psi (417 kPa); this value is below
the City’s design guideline objective of 70 psi (483 kPa) and therefore also considered to be
acceptable.

Fire Flow

Using the higher fire flow requirement (without sprinkler systems) 267 L/s as per the attached
FUS calculation, the resulting residual pressure is (122.1 m – 88.3 m) x 1.422 psi/m = 48 psi
(331 kPa). Therefore, the existing water distribution system is capable of providing the required
maximum day demand and fire flow at pressures greater than the minimum allowable pressure of
20 psi (138 kPa).

In summary, based on the boundary conditions provided as noted above, the existing water
distribution network is capable of providing the projected domestic and fire flow demands at
pressures that are within acceptable limits based on the City of Ottawa 2010 Water Distribution
Design Guidelines.

B.) Sanitary Flow

Peak sanitary flow for this site is estimated at Q = 0.42 L/s with an infiltration rate of 0.04 L/s.
This flow will enter the existing 450 mm diameter sanitary sewer on Camelot Drive via the

-2-
easterly located existing 150 mm diameter sanitary lateral previously installed by the commercial
land subdivider. Refer to the sanitary sewer design sheet page 1 of 1 in Appendix B.

C.) Storm Flow

Stormwater outlet for this proposed property will be the existing 2100 mm diameter storm sewer
located on Camelot Drive. Stormwater from the roof of the proposed building will be drained by
(2) proposed controlled roof drains specified at a flow rate of 0.63 L/s per drain and on-site
drainage by means of (1) catch basin, (2) catch basin/manholes, (1) storm manhole, underground
stormwater piping ranging in size from 300 mm to 450 mm diameter and the proposed grades of
the asphalt access roads and parking areas have been designed to provide self contained drainage
as much as possible.

Based on the site plan prepared by the developer’s architect, the commercial area post-
development “C” value is estimated at C = 0.75 where A = 0.290 ha. For the 5 year storm event,
the post-development allowable runoff off-site is calculated to be approximately 25.61 L/s. An
estimation of the pre-development flow is calculated to be 28.37 L/s using C = 0.5 which was the
runoff coefficient used to size the city storm sewer in this area.

Therefore, based on this calculation and that the post-development “C” = 0.75 is greater than
C = 0.5, therefore, on-site stormwater management retention is required for this commercial site.

Storage volume for the 5 year and up to 100 year event will be stored by means of rooftops,
asphalt roadway, asphalt parking lot, underground storm pipes and drainage structures.

The maximum 5 year allowable release rate off-site was determined to be 28.37 L/s.

Based on the Proposed Grading and Servicing Plan, the estimated 5 year high water level of
88.21 m will provide stormwater storage volume of 42.73 m3 which is greater than the estimated
required storage volume of 39.55 m3. The estimated 100 year high water level of 88.28 m will
provide stormwater storage volume of 90.86 m3 which is greater than the estimated required
storage volume of 89.30 m3.

Therefore by grading the parking lot surface area and installing the proposed underground
drainage piping and structures as shown on the Proposed Grading and Servicing Plan Dwg. No.
813-88, G-1, the desirable 5 year storm event level of 88.21 m at detention volume of 42.73 m3
will be available on-site as well as the 100 year storm event level of 88.28 m at detention volume
of 90.86 m3.

This new three-storey retail/office building will provide rooftop storage and by installing the
(2) roof drains at the locations as depicted on Dwg. No. 813-88, G-1 at the (2) designated
attenuation roof areas with each drain having a release rate of 0.63 L/s and constructing the
asphalt access roadways, parking lots, storm pipes and drainage system as detailed, the allowable
controlled off-site flow of 25.61 L/s can be achieved by incorporating the specified ICD in ST.
MH #1 at the downstream 200 mm diameter outlet pipe.

Hi Tony:

The following are boundary conditions, HGL, for hydraulic analysis at 60


Camelot (zone 2W) assumed to be connected to the 305mm on Camelot
Drive (see attached PDF for location).
Minimum HGL = 126.4m
Maximum HGL = 130.8m
MaxDay + Fire Flow (183 L/s) = 124.2m
MaxDay + Fire Flow (267 L/s) = 122.1m

These are for current conditions and are based on computer model
simulation.
Disclaimer: The boundary condition information is based on current
operation of the city water distribution system. The computer model
simulation is based on the best information available at the time. The
operation of the water distribution system can change on a regular basis,
resulting in a variation in boundary conditions. The physical properties of
watermains deteriorate over time, as such must be assumed in the absence
of actual field test data. The variation in physical watermain properties can
therefore alter the results of the computer model simulation.

Subject: 60 Camelot Drive

Hi Syd,

Further to our meeting on December 11, 2013 held at the City with the developer
and his architect, we are requesting the City boundary conditions for two servicing
scenarios.

The proposed development consists of a three-storey mixed use office/retail


building. Each floor will have approximately 743 square meters of floor area. The
total gross floor area is reported to be 2,223 square meters. The building will not
have a level basement. Demands are estimated using the City of Ottawa 2010
Water Distribution System Design Guidelines.

Here is the requested information regarding the boundary condition for the two
scenarios.

Scenario No. 1

1) Location of service is a proposed 100mmØ water service to be connected


to the existing 300mmØ watermain on Camelot Drive with building sprinklers.

2) Type of development is a three-storey office/retail building.

3) Average daily flow (AVDY) = 0.207 L/s.

4) Maximum daily flow (MXDY) = 0.311 L/s.

5) Peak hourly flow (PKHR) = 0.560 L/s.

Fire flow requirement: The Fire Underwriter Survey (FUS) fire flow requirement
for the development in question is determined to be 183 L/s (11,000 L/min). See
the attached FUS fire flow calculations.

Scenario No. 2

1) Location of service is a proposed 100mmØ water service to be connected


to the existing 300mmØ watermain on Camelot Drive with no building
sprinklers.

2) Type of development is a three-storey office/retail building.

3) Average daily flow (AVDY) = 0.207 L/s.

4) Maximum daily flow (MXDY) = 0.311 L/s.

5) Peak hourly flow (PKHR) = 0.560 L/s.

Fire flow requirement: The Fire Underwriter Survey (FUS) fire flow requirement
for the development in question is determined to be 267 L/s (16,000 L/min). The
attached fire flow calculations summarize the assumptions/values used to
determine the FUS fire flow.

The City is requested to provide boundary conditions for the Average Day,
Maximum Day, Peak Hour and Fire Flow conditions indicated above for Scenario
No. 1 and 2.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please forward the boundary
conditions as soon as possible.
