Sanitary Sewer Pipe Design.
A. Determine minimum theoretical pipe diameter required if the pipe could be made in any size. Hint: Calculate this based on the continuity equation for the peak hour flow condition with the assumption that the pipe is flowing full.
B. Select an appropriate commercially available pipe size that meets code requirements.
C. Determine the pipe slope needed based on the assumption that the pipe is flowing full at peak flow condition.
D. The invert elevation of the new sewer pipe at the upstream end (at the new development) is 365.12 feet above datum. As a preliminary estimate calculate the pipes invert elevation at the downstream end of the new pipe (at the location of the existing wastewater collection pipe system; see reference information below for the distance that the pipe will need to convey the flow). Assume gravity flow and that the pipe is straight and continuous for the calculation.
E. Regarding the previous question, state why the pipe would not be continuous in the final design.
F. If the elevation of the new pipe at the downstream end is below the elevation of the existing wastewater collection pipe, what can be done to remedy this problem?
Reference Information:
Pipe length: 0.745 miles
Pipe material: Ductile Iron
Standard pipe diameters: 4,5,6, and larger sizes in 2-inch increments.
