Sewerage and Urban Drainage System

Design Procedure for Sanitary Sewers


The design of sanitary sewers can be accomplished by using the following steps.

Step 1. Prepare a working plan layout and profile of the sewerage system establishing the
following design information:
a. Location of sewer pipes.
b. Direction of flow.
c. Location of manholes and other structures.
d. Number or label assigned to each structure.
e. Location of all existing utilities (water, sewer, gas, underground cables, etc.).

Step 2. Determine the following parameters for the sewer-shed areas to each inlet to the sanitary
sewer system:
a. Domestic population
b. Unit water consumption
c. Commercial/industrial output (heavy producers)
d. Peaking factors
e. Infiltration and inflow

Step 3. Using the information generated in Steps 1 and 2, complete the following information on
the design form for each run of pipe starting with the upstream most sanitary sewer run:
a. "From" and "To" stations
b. "Length" of run
c. " Incremental" sewer-shed area
The incremental sewer-shed area to the inlet at the upstream end of the sewer run under
consideration.
d. "Cumulative area"
The cumulative sewer-shed area to the inlet at the upstream end of the sewer run under
consideration.
e. Rate of peak wastewater flow per area
f. Incremental wastewater flow
g. Cumulative wastewater: Calculate cumulative wastewater flow rate.
h. Cumulative infiltration and inflow
Determine incremental and cumulative infiltration and inflow. Infiltration rate and inflow
can be specified as design criteria.
i. Total peak wet weather flow = peak domestic + peak non-domestic + I/I ….(Wet season)
j. Total peak dry weather flow = peak domestic + peak non-domestic + I …..(Dry season)

Step 4. Using the information from Step 3, compute the following:


a. Ground surface elevation
Indicate the ground surface elevation for the upper and lower end of the pipe run under
consideration.
b. Invert level
Indicate the invert level for the upper and lower end of the pipe run under consideration.
c. "SLOPE,"
Minimum slopes requirement based on tractive force or self-cleansing velocity will be
considered except for pipes with a steeper ground slope.
d. "PIPE DIA.," Size the pipe using minimum required slope. In preparing design criteria at
the first step, table of minimum required slopes for each pipe size should be compiled.
e. "CAPACITY FULL,"
Compute the full flow capacity of the selected pipe using Manning equation or other
appropriate formula.
f. "VELOCITY,"
Compute the full flow velocity in the conduit. The velocity and flow rate when flowing
full are computed using the appropriate formula or from a table compiled for minimum
slopes for sewers at minimum gradients.
g. "Partial FLOW,"
Compute the ratio between storm flow and the sewer capacity. This ratio determines the
partial flow velocity by using partial flow diagrams or table.
h. "Partial FLOW Depth"
From partial flow diagram/table determine the partial flow depth for the partial flow to
full flow ratio.
i. "Partial FLOW Velocity"
From partial flow diagram/table determine the partial flow velocity for the partial flow to
full flow ratio.
Step 5: Check velocities at design flow and average flow
Step 6: Adjust diameters or slopes as needed, and re-check

Example:
A proposed sewage collection system with 13 collection regions and 18 manholes is to be designed
for the urban area (Figure 1). Street elevations at manhole locations are given in Table 1. It has
been determined that the population density is 100 persons per hectare and that the sewage
contribution per capita is 400 lpd. In addition, there is an infiltration component of 5700 liters
per hectare per day (l/ha/d), PF = 2.7 (1.5*1.8). (1.5 = MDF and 1.8 = PHF)

Local regulations require that laterals must have d ≥ 6 in (152.4mm), and the main (MH 7-6-5-4-
3-2-1) must have d ≥ 8 in (203.2mm). Collection areas, in hectares, and corresponding flows are as
shown in the figure. The flow in the main as it enters the development (at MH-7) is equivalent to
collection from 35 hectares.

Find pipe diameters that meet the regulations and also provide velocities of ≥ 0.61 m/s at design
flow. Data for system geometry and flows are given in Table 1.
