Executive Summary
Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha is the largest city in the state and is today a
centre for economic& religious importance in the region. It is a land of glorious history,
art and culture. It is one of the planned cities in India and it replaced Cuttack as the
political capital of the state in 1948, a year after India gained its independence.
As an emerging IT hub and with the boom in metal and metal processing industries
Bhubaneswar is one of the fastest developing cities of India.
Due to its salubrious climate, magnificent sculptures and architectural heritage, and
opportunity for earning lively hood, there is a large influx of people from different parts
of the state as well as from nearby states.
The city is a unique amalgamation of tradition and modernism and with its temples and
monuments attracts around 2 to 3 thousand foreign and domestic tourists daily.
The city is managed by a Municipal Corporation with an area of approximately 147 sq.
km and a population based on the 2001 national census of 6, 48,032 and national
census of 8,37,737 in 2011.
Though the city is the capital of the state with a copious supply of water, it has no
conventional Wastewater Treatment facility or any centralized sewerage system.
The existing sewerage system covers 30 % of the project area without effective
treatment. Most of the people are depending on septic tanks. In some parts of the city
specifically in slum pockets toilet facilities are not available and people are in the habit
of defecating in open fields or surface drains.
The untreated sewage from both sewered and non sewered areas finds its way
through surface drains to flow into the rivers Kuakhai & Daya. This situation pollutes
the rivers and causes unhygienic and unaesthetic condition throughout the City. There
is constant demand from various corners for a comprehensive centralized sewerage
system for the city.
In response to this, the Odisha State Government have taken steps to provide
improved sanitation system to the city dwellers by providing a planned comprehensive
centralized sewerage system keeping in view the fast growing population of the city.
For this purpose the Government has launched two mega projects namely the Odisha
Integrated Sanitation Improvement Project under the loan assistance from the Japan
International Co-operation Agency (JICA), and the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban
Renewal Mission( JnNURM) funded by the Government of India.
Both the projects are being implemented by the Odisha Water Supply & Sewerage
Board (OWSSB) under the administrative control of the Housing & Urban Development
(H&UD) Department of the state.
For the purpose of sewer system planning, the city has been divided into 6 Sewerage
Districts. Out of the six sewerage Districts, District-VI is under the JICA assisted
Odisha Integrated Sanitation Improvement Project.
The cost for the project in District VI, as estimated earlier, is Rs109.00 crores, out of
which the Japanese Government is providing loan assistance of Rs117.00 crores (@
2.52 Yen per Rupee) , the balance being provided by the Odisha State Government.
The TEC Consortium, formed by Tokyo Engineering Company of Japan, Tetra Tech,
Inc. of USA and Egis International of France, has been appointed by the Odisha Water
Supply & Sewerage Board (OWSSB) as the Engineering and Project Management
Consultant (EPMC) for the project.
The amount of the JICA loan that will fund the construction was based on the
Detailed Project Report (DPR) for District VI, Bhubaneswar, prepared by OWSSB in
2006 and the subsequent SAPROF Report. The DPR (2006) and SAPROF
provisions for 98 Kms of Sewers. During the survey carried out by PMC in 2010-11,
a significant increase in the road length has been confirmed. The increase is
primarily due to the following reasons;
1. Inclusion of new roads with habitations alongside which have come up in
between 2005-06 and 2010-11.
2. In consideration to the recently published land use plan and road networks of
comprehensive development plan of the development Authority.
3. A significant number of new lanes and by lanes are added to the collection
network with an objective to maximize accessibility for house connections.
Hence, based on the survey carried out in 2010-11, the length of Sewers has
significantly increased from the original estimate of 97 Km to 259 Km., resulting
increase in the Project Cost.
In view of the above and considering the provisions of the JICA loan, the collection
system is proposed to be implemented in two phases. Phase-I will cover 100Kms of
sewer network with trenchless works, 9 no.s of pumping stations with5.824Km of
rising main, Treatments Plants for intermediate stage (up to 2021) and will be
executed under JICA loan assistance. The remaining portion of work, which
includes about 159 Kms of sewers, 5.148 Kms of rising main & 10 pumping stations
will be taken up in Phase-II with separate funding. The major portions of the sewers
are small sized peripheral sewers, mainly laterals and branch sewers. Out of the 10
pump stations in phase II, one is lift station and the rest nine are Manhole Pumping
Stations.
The Sewage Treatment Plants proposed to be constructed under phase-I cover the
flow to be generated from Phase-II implementation of Sewers for the inter mediate
year
It is important that the works proposed in Phase-II are implemented concurrently
with Phase-I and both phases have to be integrated for achieving the desired
project output. The reason being;
1. The Phase I sewer network alone cannot collect and transport the designed
sewerage flow to the STPs. Hence the capacity of the STPs will remain under
utilized without implementation of Phase II.
2. Without implementation of Phase II, the estimated no. of house connections
cannot be achieved. Hence the Phase I sewer network cannot collect the
designed sewage flow, and will remain under utilized resulting in silting and
dysfunction in due course.
A summary of the salient features of the project along with the phasing follows:
Chapter 1
1. Project Background
0.1 Introduction
Odisha, a culturally rich state is located in the south-eastern part of India. It is a littoral
state of India with a long coastline and a storehouse of mineral wealth. Because of its
mineral wealth, availability of adequate water and strategic location it attracts foreign
investment in steel, aluminium, power, refineries, and infrastructure. Cuttack and
Bhubaneswar as the prime business and political urban hubs have significant roles to
play in development of the state.
In parallel with the urbanisation and population increase, water consumption and
wastewater generation is also increasing. However the provision of sewerage
treatment and disposal facilities has not been able to keep pace with the development
needs. Wastewater generated by unregulated, unplanned and ill monitored urban
localities passes on to water bodies and the rivers. This causes pollution with
hazardous consequence to public health and environment.
In order to address the above problems, Housing and Urban Development Department
of the State Government of Odisha through Government of India requested JICA
(Japan International Cooperation Agency), formerly known as JBIC, to assist in
improving water quality of rivers and sanitary conditions of people in Bhubaneswar and
Cuttack. Detailed Project Reports for Bhubaneswar and Cuttack were prepared in
November and December 2005 respectively and sanitation improvement works in the
two cities are prioritized for JICA loan.
Under the Project, updated Detailed Project Reports are to be prepared for Sewerage
improvement works in Cuttack and Bhubaneswar (District-VI) and for Drainage
improvement Works in Cuttack City. The DPRs are to be prepared with review and
Bhubaneswar is the capital and largest city of the Indian state of Odisha, India. Once
the capital of ancient Kalinga, the city has a long history and is today a centre for
commerce and religious activity. With its vast variety of Hindu temples, Bhubaneswar
is often referred to as the temple city of India.
Items Feature
0.2.2 Location
The city lies in the Mahanadi Delta, on the west bank of river Kuakhai, which is a
distributory of river Kathajori, a branch of Mahanadi River, 30 kms south east of
Cuttack. The river Daya branches off from Kuakhai and flows along the south-eastern
part of the city. Bhubaneswar lies on the western fringe of the mid-coastal plain of
Odisha with an average elevation of 45 meters above mean sea level. Bhubaneswar is
located in Khurda district of coastal Odisha, between Latitude 20°12’ N to 20°25’ N
and Longitude 85°44’E to 85°55’ E on the western fringe of the coastal plain across
the main axis of the Eastern Ghats.
The city has been built along the corridors of East-Coast Railway and National High
Way No.5 with about 146 km2 municipal corporation area and forms the apex of the
"Golden Triangle" with Konark and Puri as the other two points.
The city is subdivided into a number of townships and housings. The City is divided
into 60 municipal Wards. It is a rapidly growing city. Its population increased from
16512 in 1951 to 6,48,032 in 2001 and 8,37,737 in 2011. Bhubaneswar has four
industrial estates. As the Master plan area of BDA has been declared as “air pollution
control area”, there is strict restriction on the use of fossil fuel. As such, there has not
been much industrial activity in the vicinity. However, declaration of Bhubaneswar as
electronic city has attracted some industries in Electronic sector, which are non-
polluting in nature.
Fig. 1.1 &1.2 shows the location of project area and Index map of Project area and Fig
1.3 shows the municipal area along with the project area.
The city has a recorded history of 2500 years starting with Chedi dynasty (around 2nd
century BCE) that had Sisupalgarh near present-day Bhubaneswar as their capital.
Historically Bhubaneswar has been known by different names such as Toshali, Kalinga
Nagari, Nagar Kalinga, Ekamra Kanan, Ekamra Kshetra and Mandira Malini Nagari
"city of temples" otherwise known as the temple city of India. The largest city of
Odisha, Bhubaneswar today is a centre of economic and religious importance in the
region.
Kalinga empire, of which present day Odisha forms a part, was ruled by the dynasty of
Nanda kings between the period 370 B.C. to 322 B.C. “Tosali”, known today as
Bhubaneswar, was the capital of Kalinga empire.
Odisha was constituted as a separate province in the year 1936 with its capital in
Cuttack. Subsequently Cuttack could not continue to be the capital of the state due to
various physical constraints and Bhubaneswar was chosen as suitable for the new
capital of Odisha due to several reasons like its location on major transport routes,
availability of vast stretches of government land, excellent soil conditions, healthy
climate, and availability of water and natural drainage conditions.
Construction of the capital started in the year 1948. After completion of the secretariat
building in 1956, different departments of the state secretariat were shifted from
0.2.4 Climate
0.2.5 Topography
Bhubaneswar lies on the western fringe of the mid-coastal plain of Odisha with an
average elevation of 45 metres above mean sea-level. It is located on a low lateritic
plateau and continuous erosion has shaped the topography into a valley and ridges.
The Rivers Kuakhai, Bhargavi and Daya flow on south-eastern fringe of the town.
Enormous hillock and forests exist in the northern, western and southern parts.
Topographically, the city can be divided into two major parts, namely; western upland
and the eastern lowland with the south-eastern railways forming the boundary between
these two broad units.
The following departments / agencies are responsible for water, sanitation related
Operational and developmental responsibilities for the City.
BMC: Bhubaneswar Municipality was formed on 14th April 1979. Bhubaneswar was
declared as Municipal Corporation in 1994.
The Urban Local Body in accordance with the Municipal Act is vested with the
responsibility of Solid Waste Management apart from other duties and responsibilities
embodied in the Act. The Municipality area has been divided in to 14 zones and 60
wards.
BDA: Under the Odisha Development Authorities Act enacted in 1982 the
Bhubaneswar Development Authority was constituted. It is responsible for
development of Bhubaneswar Master Plan Area and has as principal objectives
creation of housing stock, creation of commercial complexes, improvement of city level
infrastructure, environmental improvement, parks and plantations in colonies, blocks,
institutions and roadsides and prepares development plans.
OWSSB: Odisha Water Supply Sewerage Board under the Housing and Urban
Development Department, Govt. of Odisha is a state level organization with a mandate
to plan and execute water and sanitation projects throughout the state. OWSSB is the
Executive Agency for implementation of the JICA Assisted Odisha Integrated
Sanitation Improvement project in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack City.
Table 1.2 indicates that, there is a 131 % growth between in 1951 and 1961. The
shifting of the Capital in 1954 is believed to be the primary reason. The population
further increased by 176 % between 1961 - 71 and was 108% between 1971 - 81. The
high population growth during these two decades was mainly due to inward migration
of rural population. In 2001, the population was 648,032. During 1991-2001, the
growth was 57.40%. In 2011, the population was 8,37,737, during 2001-11 the growth
rate was 29.27%. Such growth in past decades can be ascribed to following reasons:
⁻ Natural growth
⁻ Large number of rural immigrants to the city.

Based on the census data of 2001, the population of Sewerage District-VI is calculated
to be 4, 01,069 in 2015. The Sewerage District-VI observed sharp rise in population in
recent past.
As per the Indo- USAID FIRE (D) Project report, as on 2008 there are 377 numbers of
identified slums in 60 Wards with 60,126 households. The total slum population is
3,08,614. Out of the 377 slums, 281 slum dwellers do not have any land rights.
Out of total 60 wards, 16 wards (Ward No. 1, 2, 3,6,7,8,9,10 (Part), 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
16, 19 and 20) comes under Sewerage District-VI of Bhubaneswar City. There are 116
Slums in Sewerage district-VI, out of which only 22 slums have land rights. There are
23938 Nos of slum households with population of 1,27,545. None of the slums have
piped water supply house connections. Only 27 slums are provided by piped water
through stand posts. 64 slums are provided by tube well and 12 with open well. There
are 91 community toilets with a total of 191 seats in 31 slums, at an average of 3 per
settlement. Only 4 slums are coming under the existing sewerage system. None of the
slum household has sewerage connection.
The Kuakhai headworks are located on river Kuakhai which is downstream of the
outfall point of drain no.1 into river Kuakhai and Daya headworks are located on river
Daya upstream of the outfall point of Gangua nala into river Daya.
Table 1.3: Source of Water Supply to Bhubaneswar City
Drain no. 1 passes through developed areas of the town north of NH 5 and carries
untreated sewage of this area into the river Kuakhai. The untreated sewage of rest of
the town is being carried by 9 other drains into Gangua nala which also outfalls into
river Kuakhai.
The City slopes from west to east, hence has a natural advantage for drainage. Ten
major drainage channels are there in the City. There are four drainage channels in
sewerage District-VI as tabulated below.

The drains in the area are maintained by the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation
(BMC).
The BMC is responsible for solid waste management in the City. The BMC is having a
conventional and primitive system of Solid Waste management system. The BMC
have health Wing with a city medical officer, sanitary inspectors (12Nos), sweepers
(1277 Nos), loading staff (175 Nos), and assistant unit officers etc, .The Total Solid
Waste generation in Bhubaneswar Municipal area is estimated as 432 MT/Day. The
City is divided into different sanitation Wards and each sanitation wards are further
divided into sub-units. The normal frequency of collection of wastes is at least one in a
day in busy commercial areas and in others areas once in 3-7 days. The collected
waste is dumped into 8 designated dumping sites located throughout the city.
Segregation of wastes is almost absent in the system.
About 80 % of the existing sewer are inadequate or in dilapidated condition and needs
repair or replacement. Out of existing approximate 20000 manholes, 80 % are in
damaged condition. Wastewater is discharged through storm drain outfalls to Gangua
nallah and finally to Daya river. Only part of generated sewage flows through closed
conduits leading to treatment systems, and major quantity flows through the 10 Nos. of
open storm drains. The Drain No. 1 open into the river Kuakhai and the remaining 9
drains open into Gangua nallah which in turn transfers the volume and load to River
Daya near Barimula village about one kilometer D/S of Kakudia Bridge. At present 23
community septic tanks, 10 aerated lagoons and 7 Oxidation ponds exist. Out of all,
only one aerated lagoon at Laxmi Sagar is functioning.
The sewage collection system is neither adequate nor functioning properly. The open
drains of the city are severely polluted by sewage and garbage being dumped into it.
In District- VI, sewerage network exists in 30 % of the area, covering about 32.5% of
population (Zone I – 13.5%, Zone II – 16.5%, Zone III – 2.5%). Out of 16 wards, in 11
wards sewerage network is existing either fully or partially. 5 out of the 11 wards are
fully covered except alum areas in those wards. In remaining 6 wards, partial coverage
of sewerage network is existing. The existing sewerage system in district-VI, consists
of 82 Kms of sewer network and two pumping stations. Out of which, one pump house
at RHS pump house at Nayapalli is pumping to nalla through a Oxidation pond
(currently defunct) at VIP Colony and the other pump house at Salia Sahi is not
commissioned.
The results of monitoring of water quality of river Kuakhai and Daya, as conducted by
the State Pollution Control Board are presented here. Table 1.5 gives water quality of
river Kuakhai and Daya and clearly depicts the degradation in water quality of the river
from U/S to D/S. Table 1.6 gives wastewater characteristics of different drains.

Since at present there is no proper sewerage system or treatment plant in the city, the
discharge of domestic waste through storm water drains goes to the river. In the
existing reports of Odisha State Pollution Control Board, the water quality of Kuakhai
River shows general increase of pollution with time. Downstream of Bhubaneswar,
there is a higher degree of pollution with higher values of organic matter, bacteria and
chemicals. The pollution in the river is due to the direct flow of sewage into the river.
Apart from the health risk to the city population, damage and dislocation from flooding,
the lack of sanitation in the city results in a similar risk to the health of downstream
villagers in the Mahanadi Delta. The natural environment of the delta and the Bay of
Bengal are affected as the generally polluted drains and discharges to the surrounding
Mahanadi and Kothajori, Kuakhai and Daya Rivers.
In order to address the above problems in Bhubaneswar city, the Housing and Urban
Development Department of the State Government of Odisha through Government of
India requested JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency), formerly known as
JBIC, to assist in improving water quality of rivers and sanitary conditions of people in
four cities including Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Berhampur and Sambalpur. of the four
cities, Detailed Project Reports for Bhubaneswar and Cuttack were prepared in
November and December 2005 respectively, and the sanitation improvement works in
the two cities (except for solid waste management) are included in the JICA loan.
JICA has undertaken a study, Special Assistance for Project Formulation (SAPROF)
for defining the project scope. A Minute of Discussion (MoD) was also prepared and
signed in December 2006 between Housing and Urban Development Department,
Govt. Of Odisha, Public Health Engineering Department, GoO, Odisha Water Supply
and Sewerage Board, Ministry of Urban Development, Govt. of India and the Japan
International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for defining the project scope, its
components, schedule of implementation and budget. The Loan agreement was
signed in March 30, 2007.
The objective of the project is to free the citizens from the woes and miseries of
drainage and sewerage problems in the city. The project aims at reducing the frequent
inundation in low lying areas and the poor sanitary conditions mainly due to the
absence of organised drainage and sewerage facilities.
The goals of the project are to improve the water quality in surrounding Rivers and
upgrade sanitary condition for the people in urban and peri-urban areas. This will be
done through sewerage and drainage improvement integrated with institutional
improvement that will support successful performance of the facilities in a sustainable
manner.
In line with above mentioned goals, the major objectives of the Odisha Integrated
Sanitation Improvement Project (OISIP) are:
(i) To provide an improved and extended sewerage system for District VI,
Bhubaneswar. This will be done in an environmentally and socially acceptable
manner, to meet the projected population demand for year 2045;
(ii) To strengthen the Public Health Engineering Organization (PHEO) and
Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation so that they can operate and maintain the
systems on a sustainable basis.
The project provides for the improvement of sewerage systems in the Sewerage
District-VI of the city in a modern, advanced and scientific manner with support of
international and national experts. For improvement in the Sewerage facilities,
approximately 259 km of underground gravity sewers and several pumping stations
with sewage treatment plant at Rokat. 48 MLD of wastewater will be treated daily at
the treatment plants and discharged into the Kuakhai River (downstream of intake)
without causing pollution for the people downstream of the discharge point.
The Sewerage District-VI area of approximately 56.19 Sq. Km is covered under the
JICA project. The Sewerage district-VI covers around 16 wards (Full 15 Wards and
partly one Ward) out of 60 total wards of the City. The wards wise area details are

The Total project cost in Bhubaneswar is estimated at Rs. 332.70 crores, of which the
Government of Japan will fund Rs. 117 crores through Japan International
Cooperation Agency (JICA) as loan assistance and the balance will be borne by the
State Government. The loan will be repaid by the State Government in 40 years with a
moratorium period of 10 years with an interest rate of 0.75 percent per annum.
Construction is scheduled to start in the beginning of 2013 and will be completed by
the beginning of 2016. Training and capacity building will also be provided to the local
authorities during the implementation stage to ensure sustainable operation and
maintenance of the assets during the post-construction period.
The project is being implemented by the Odisha Water Supply & Sewerage Board
under the Housing & Urban Development of the Government of Odisha as the Project
Implementation Unit for implementation of the project.
In addition to the JICA project in District-VI, there are two other projects under
implementation for improvement of sewerage system in remaining sewerage districts
of Bhubaneswar.
b. JNNURM Fund.
The Sewerage improvement works in sewerage Districts – I, II, III, IV, V & VI shall
be met from JNNURM funds excluding cost of sewer laying in sewerage District – I
& II. The Sewerage Treatment plants of the five sewerage Districts (except for
sewerage district-VI) are provisioned under JNNURM funded scheme, which is
under execution by OWSSB. The scope of the works under JNNURM funds for
sewerage district-VI is limited to rehabilitation of existing sewerage system only.
The development of new sewerage system along with treatment plant is
provisioned under the JICA project.

2. Evaluation of DPR and SAPROF Recommendations
The DPR for sewerage improvement in Bhubaneswar was prepared in 2005-06 and the
SAPROF report was prepared in 2006 based largely on the DPR. Since that time, there
have been a number of changes in Sewerage District-VI of Bhubaneswar that have
caused adjustments in the DPR designs and recommendations.
The following are the key changes made to the SAPROF recommendations.
The population projections were revised based on the more recent data available from
the Bhubaneswar Development Authority. The projections show higher populations in
the future as described in Chapter 4. The population projections have an impact on the
generation of sewage flows and consequently on the sizing of the sewers, pumping
stations and treatment plant.
The length of sewer that was surveyed and designed for District VI is 287 Km vs. 97.8
Km estimated in the SAPROF report. This is because the SAPROF report included
sewers on the main and some secondary roads and did not include most of the smaller
roads. Further there has been significant habitation growth in district-VI area since the
SAPROF report was prepared in 2006 and these new roads have also been included
in the design. The sewer system design is described in Chapter 7.
The numbers of pumping stations have also been increased as a result of the
expanded sewer coverage as discussed in Chapter 10.
The influent concentration of the wastewater to the treatment plant used in the design
is BOD 275 mg/l and 300 mg/l. This is consistent with the DPR recommendations.
However, the BOD concentration is higher than the value suggested in the SAPROF
Report of 250 mg/l. Influent concentrations are discussed in Chapter 5.

In previous reports (DPR & SAPROF) the existing sewer areas were identified as shown
in Figure 3.1. A part of the district –VI area mainly Government and Semi Government
colonies, BDA & Housing Board constructed colonies has been provided with sewerage
system and in the rest part of the district the house owners are having individual Septic
tanks.

The existing collection system consists of Stone ware and RCC pipe sewers and brick
masonry Man holes Chambers. The sizes of sewers are from 100mm to 500mm
diameter. Most of the brick masonry man hole Chambers are in damaged condition and
at many places the sewer lines are either damaged or choked, and hence sewage is
allowed to flow in to nearby by surface drains.
The size and length of sewers in existing sewerage areas is presented in Table No. 3.4
Table 3.4: Statement of size & length of Sewers of Existing system in Sewerage District-VI
There are two nos of Sewage Pumping Stations, one in Rental Housing colony and the
other is in Salia Sahi. The pumping station at Salia Sahi which was meant for
transferring the sewage from IRC village to an aerated lagoon is not functional where
as that in Rental Housing Colony is functioning at present. The Pumping station at
Rental Housing Colony is of 0.53 MLD capacity consisting of a wet well of 10m dia and
10m deep, and a Pump house provided with 2nos 12.45HP submersible pumps
running 10 hours a day. This is now pumping the generated sewage from Rental
housing colony to a defunct Aerated lagoon at VIP area from where it is flowing to
nearby valley through 150mm dia CI pumping main of 618m length.

The DPR provides integration of the present existing sewered area with the new
proposed system and accordingly Sewer net work has been designed to collect the
sewage from these areas and transfer to the proposed Treatment plant, and the
capacity of Treatment plant has been designed to accommodate this flow. The
rehabilitation or up gradation of sewer pipes and Man holes Chambers if any will be
dealt separately by the OWSSB and not included in the scope of this DPR.

4. Population Projections
4.1 Introduction
This Chapter includes a review of previous census records for the City of
Bhubaneswar. It also includes projections of the populations for the city and Sewer
District VI to the design year of 2045 based on the most recent Comprehensive
Development Plans for the city. These projections are compared to the projections in
the SAPROF Final Report and the JICA Minutes of Discussion (MOD) on the project.
Because the Comprehensive Development Plans are the most recent government
approved population projections they will form the basis for projecting future sewage
flows in the city, as per CPHEEO guidelines. Finally the recommended populations are
disaggregated in District VI for use in the sewer design for 2045 conditions.
The population history for Bhubaneswar is given in Table 4.1 by decade from 1951 to
2011. These data are based on the Census of India reports taken every ten years.
These data (1951-2001) were also used in the MOD and the Detailed Project Reports
(DRPs) prepared by OWSSB earlier for Sewerage System of Bhubaneswar.
The population projections that have been included in the SAPROF was based on
previously completed DPRs and have considered different methods as recommended
in the CPHEEO Manual on Sewerage and Sewage Treatment published by the
Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD), Government of India.
The results of the different approaches are summarized in Table 4.2. Also included in
Table 4.2 is the population projection for sewerage District VI as identified in the
SAPROF.
With availability of the 2011 Provisional Census data, Population Projections were
carried out by the following methods as recommended in the CPHEEO Manual.
• Arithmetic Increase Method
• Incremental Increase Method
• Geometric Increase Method
• Graphical Methods
For the graphical methods a new projection using a regression (curve fitting) analysis
has been calculated. This is a more rigorous statistical analysis and is judged to be the
most accurate of the statistical methods.
The Detail of population projections calculations are enclosed at the end of this
chapter at 4.10. The summary of Population Projections up to 2045 carried out by
various methods considering the 2011 provisional Census data is presented in below
table;
These projections done by the standard methods based on historical trends are
statistical and therefore by nature are ‘backward’ looking. This included the regression
analysis. On the other hand the projections done by local Development Authorities are
based on population allocations using land uses and demographics and are by nature
‘forward’ looking. Because of this distinction, previous reports have recommended
using projections based on land use and demographics done by the local
Development Authorities. To be consistent with this approach the Bhubaneswar
Development Authority was contacted and the most recent population projections
being used in their Comprehensive Development Plans has been obtained;
The population data used for Bhubaneswar are found in the Comprehensive
Development Plan for Bhubaneswar Development Plan Area 2030, in particular
Chapter 5 Population Perspective.
The first step was to define the Sewer District VI boundary in Bhubaneswar, since
there are two maps in the SAPROF report with slightly different boundaries (SAPROF
Report, Drawings, November 2006, DRWG S1 and DRWG S5). Based on a review of
the report and the apparent accuracy of the two maps, DRWG S5 will be used for
comparison purposes.
The BDPA population data were developed by planning zones and portions of three
Zones (12-Bharatpur, 13-Chandrasekharpur and 14-Sribantapur) are in SAPROF
Sewer District VI. An overlay of the BDPA and the SAPROF maps is shown in Figure
4.1, map pocket. Based on area calculations using AutoCAD software and population
densities given in the BDPA Comprehensive Plan, the population for District VI was
computed for 2030. BDPA data represents a straight line projection from 2011 to 2030.
Therefore, the population was increased to 2045 by continuing the BDPA’s straight line
projection. The results are summarized in Table 4.3 along with the SAPROF
projections for 2011 and 2041.
Dist.
2,60,000 2,90,000 14% (+) 5,91,000 7,41,667 25% (+)

City

(BMC)
The comparison of population projections in Table 4.3 shows that more recent BDPA
projection is higher than the SAPROF projection in Bhubaneswar Sewer District VI.
This difference appears reasonable given the available land uses, infrastructure and
growth potential as described in the BDPA Comprehensive plans. It is the PMC’s
opinion that the BDPA’s most recent and ‘forward looking’ projections best represent
future conditions in Bhubaneswar District VI. As such these populations should be
used in projecting future sewage flows in these areas.
The population projections and distribution in the preceding Tables include estimates
of slum populations, but do not include floating populations. For the purpose of
estimating sewage flows, a floating population of 5% will be used in Bhubaneswar
District VI. This is consistent with the SAPROF Report.
The population projections were further evaluated so that sewer flows throughout
Sewer District VI can be projected based on population densities and the distribution of
those densities within each planning zone.
Planning Zone 13 covers a majority of the area and most of the population in Sewer
District VI. Based on the evenly distributed land uses and the lack of any large areas
where development would be precluded to 2045, a uniform population density of
18,846 people per Sq.KM will be used for projecting sewer flow in Planning Zone 13.
The remaining areas in Sewer District VI are adjacent planning zones to the West and
East - planning zones 12 and 14. The distribution of population densities within
Planning Zones 12 and 14 vary widely since large forest, recreational and agricultural
areas are included. This required the population densities to be adjusted so that only
existing and potential populated areas in Planning Zones 12 and 14 will be considered
for projecting sewer flows.
Table 4.4 summarizes the land areas and population densities that will be used in the
sewer design for 2045 conditions while Figure 4.2 illustrates the areas and densities.

5. Wastewater Flow and Loads
5.1 Wastewater Characteristics and Per Capita Flows
This Chapter evaluates the results of a field sampling program in the sewer systems
in Bhubaneswar District VI and Cuttack for the purpose of collecting samples for
laboratory analysis of wastewater characteristics and measuring wastewater flows.
The results are included for both cities to give the most comprehensive view of
available data. This Chapter also includes an evaluation of available water records to
gain insight into resulting per capita wastewater flows.
The objective is to determine design values for the influent wastewater to the treatment
plants for BOD5 and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and per capita flow contributions.
The field sampling program was conducted between 02.05.2010 and 20.05.2010 at 5
locations each in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack as below;
Table 5.1: Wastewater Sampling and Flow Measurement Program at Bhubaneswar &
Cuttack
Maps showing locations of sampling and flow measurement points are presented in
Figure- 5.1 and 5.2.
Two 24 hour composite samples were taken at each location, one on a weekend
(Phase 1) and one on a weekday (Phase 2). The areas tributaries to the sampling
locations are primarily residential with some mixed commercial uses. The results are
summarized in Tables 5.2, and 5.3.

The key influent parameters for the design of the wastewater treatment plants are BOD5
and Total Suspended Solids (TSS). In order to better understand what values to use for
these key parameters it is useful to compare them with the recommended design values
and to data in other parts of India. These comparison data are shown in Table 5.5.

Odisha <60 74/38 275/158 115/87 300/160
(Bhubaneswar/Cuttack)
1. Excludes values less than 200 mg/l which are judged below acceptable design limits.
2. Values from DPRs. SAPROF references design BOD of 250 mg/l for domestic wastewater (page 3-29).
The data in Table 5.4 show that the results in Cuttack for BOD5 and TSS are lower than
the data typically found in other sewer systems in India. There are a number of potential
reasons for this including defects in the sewers allowing excess infiltration which would
dilute the sewage, a low percentage of actual functioning house connections which
would further reduce the amount of sewage with respect to infiltration and in-system
deposition due to low flows that would tend to reduce downstream concentrations. This
is particularly true for the samples taken in the Cuttack system, where the locations were
open street drains/sewers. This is illustrated when comparing the concentrations in
Cuttack and Bhubaneswar. The samples from the closed sewers in Bhubaneswar were
higher by 90% for BOD5 and 30% for TSS and would be more typical of domestic diluted
sewage.
The concentrations measured in the field program are representative of existing
conditions but are not representative of those found in a new properly functioning
sewerage system where infiltration will be better controlled and connection of house
sewers will be high. For these reasons the field data should not be used as a guide to
setting influent design concentrations for BOD and TSS. These concentrations are too
low for design purposes because it is critical that the influent design concentrations not
be underestimated or the treatment plants will not have the built-in capacity to reliably
treat more typical wastewater concentrations as well as the higher concentrations that
would be expected to occur during a 30-day maximum month period.
On the other hand designing the treatment plants to meet Government design guidelines
of BOD5 375 mg/l and TSS 750 mg/l (Manual on Sewerage and Sewage Treatment,
Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organization (CPHEEO)) would
likely over design the systems, in part because it does not account for infiltration and
would not be cost effective.
Based on the available data as presented in Table 5.4, the influent design
concentrations of BOD5 275 mg/l and TSS 300 mg/l should be used, which are the
same as the original Bhubaneswar DPR recommendation and are similar with other
treatment plants in India. The same values should be used for Bhubaneswar and
Cuttack since the sewer systems in both cities will be built to the same standards. As
such each system will control infiltration and deliver sewage to the treatments plants at
the strengths noted above.
The remainders of the sampling data are consistent with the dilute domestic wastewater.
The nitrogen concentrations and bacteria counts are low and in line with dilute
wastewater as noted above. The metal concentrations are also low and do not suggest
industrial discharges that may adversely impact a biological treatment process.
The Flow measurements were taken between 13.05.2010 and 20.05.2010 at 4 locations
in Bhubaneswar and 5 locations in Cuttack as below;
The data were taken for a continuous period of 48 hours. The results are summarized in
Table 5.7.

The household survey of each of the tributary areas of the flow measurement points
were carried out between 12.06.2010 to 08.07.2010.
The main objective of the exercise was to estimate the population in each area tributary
to the flow measurement locations. For defining the tributary area, in case of
Bhubaneswar drawings of existing sewerage networks were collected from respective
Public Health divisions. In Cuttack, thorough site visits were carried out to define the
tributary area.
Table 5.8 summarizes the house hold survey data.
Based on the flow measurement results and the population data from the house hold
survey the per capita wastewater generation (LPCD) was calculated by using following
formula;
Per capita Waste Water generation (litres per capita per day) = (Average Flow
(MLD)/Total Population) X 1000000
The results are summarized in Table 5.9 as below;
Total 19371 36
Cuttack
CSA 1 CDA, Bidanasi, 0.07 337 208
The data in Table 5.9 indicate that the per capita flow estimates measured in
Bhubaneswar District VI are below the value recommended in the CPHEEO Manual of
120 litres per capita per day in three areas and above in one area. In Cuttack the per
capita flows are higher in all five locations. Like the wastewater concentrations these
values are representative of existing conditions, but are not values to be used for the
design of new sewers, pumping stations or treatment plants. The lower values in
Bhubaneswar suggest that there are problems in the collection systems related to
operational and/or structural conditions in the sewers or household connections. It also
doesn't account of changing water use practices that are likely to occur over the life of
the system as properly functioning water and sewer systems are more fully used.
The higher values in Cuttack are suspected to be caused by excessive infiltration into
the sewers due to groundwater entering structural cracks and/or deteriorated / defective
joints. This is consistent with the lower concentrations of BOD and TSS reported in
Table 5.3 for Cuttack, those are representative of diluted sewage with high groundwater
infiltration.
For these reasons the CPHEEO design value of 120 lpcd will be used for design of the
sewers, pumping stations and treatment plants.
The Bhubaneswar data were obtained from the Office of the Assistant Engineer P.H.
Sub-Division of Chandrasekharpur and from the Office of the Assistant Engineer P.H.
Sub-Division C.S. Pur, Bhubaneswar. The data include the present and future demand

A breakdown of the major areas into sectors and sub areas was provided for
Niladrivihar, Saileshreevihar and Kananvihar. Although these data do not represent all of
Bhubaneswar, it does provide relevant information about water use. The data have been

The data provided for Cuttack were from a document entitled Status of Urban Water
Supply Infrastructure dated December 31, 2009. It provided pertinent data on 2001 and
2009 population, production of water, population served by the water system and the
number of connections & stand posts.
The data have been summarized in Table 5.11 and per capita calculations have been
performed for the population served by the water supply system. The methodology for
calculating the per capita water use is explained in more details in the next section.

The data represents approximately 10% of the population of Bhubaneswar and provides
valuable water use information within the project area. For this reason the data serves
as a good representative sample of water use conditions in Bhubaneswar District VI.
It is important to note that the water use data provided were not based on metered data
but instead was a calculated value based on the individual water pump station operating
records, which were not provided. The reliability of these data is uncertain but provides
the best available information to estimate water uses. Much of this uncertainty lies in the
estimate of unaccounted for water which could be as high as 40-50% in some areas.
The water use information provided the number of households for each area. Upon
review of the 2001 census data it was observed that an average household size of 5
people would be reasonable. This average household size was used to calculate an
average per capita demand.
The daily water use ranged from 46 liters per capita to 326 liters per capita but the
majority of the values for the more populated areas were between 127 and 215. Due to
this wide range of values the data were combined to calculate a composite value of 168
LPCD.
Information relative to the number of water stand posts in the communities was provided.
In the areas where these stand posts are used the average person is utilizing what they
can carry during the course of the day. The prevalence of stand posts will tend to reduce
the estimated per capita water use.
For some of these households, the residents may also be using hand pumps and not a
tap which would indicate that a water closet may not be available and this water
consumption may not be contributing to a sanitary sewer. For estimates of future water
demand and wastewater flows, all households within the project area will be provided
with water connections and a sewer connection.
These data represent the population of Cuttack and represent the number of households
that are served by the municipal water system today. It is important to note that the
water use data provided was not based on metered data but instead was a calculated
value similar to the information for Bhubaneswar. The reliability of the data is uncertain
however it represents the best available information to estimate per capita water use. As
with Bhubaneswar a large part of the uncertainty lie in the estimate of non-revenue
water.
5.8 Conclusion
The water data in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack provided an average per capita use of 168
and 152 LPCD respectively for an average of 160 LPCD between the two data sets.
According to the CPHEEO Manual on Sewerage and Sewage Treatment, Second
Edition, and in accordance with standard engineering practice 80% of the water demand
should be used to estimate wastewater flows. Using 80% of the average water use value
results in wastewater flows of 134 LPCD for Bhubaneswar & 122 for Cuttack. The
Bhubaneswar data is greater than the value of 120 LPCD recommended in the SAPROF
report and used as a standard in India. The 122 LPCD for Cuttack is similar to the
recommended 120 LPCD.
The calculated values of 134 LPCD and122 LPCD do not take into account infiltration
and other sources which will be addressed when total wastewater flow in each city are
estimated.
There are a number of variables that can influence and add a level of uncertainty into an
evaluation of water records. They include:
Notwithstanding these uncertainties, there is nothing in the available water data that
would suggest not using the national standard of 120 LCD to estimate wastewater flows
in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack.
5.9 Summary
On the basis of the explanations above, the following design criteria will be used.
1) The influent design concentrations of BOD5 275 mg/l and TSS 300 mg/l will be
used for Cuttack.
2) The design value of wastewater generation at the rate of 120 lpcd will be used for
design of the sewers, pumping stations and treatment plants, as recommended in
CPHEEO manual.
3) The peaking factors that are in the sewer design criteria and recommended in
CPHEEO Manual will be used.
Chapter 6
6. Collection System Design Criteria
6.1 Sewer Network Design Criteria
The Chapter includes the Design Criteria for sewers and outlines relevant City policies,
applicable codes, and engineering and operational practices and procedures that have
been developed to establish a cost-effective, reliable, and safe wastewater collection
system. Also used in conjunction with these design criteria are applicable current
standard drawings, specifications, and industry requirements for the planning and design
of wastewater infrastructure.
This guide is not a substitute for professional experience, nor is it meant to relieve the
design engineer from his/her responsibility to use good engineering judgment. The
design engineer shall be responsible for providing a design that, within industry
standards, can be safely repaired and maintained, will provide good service and life, and
will not create a public nuisance or hazard. Under most conditions, this guide should
serve as a minimum standard. However, it is not meant to preclude alternative designs
when the standards cannot be met, or when special or emergency conditions warrant.
6.2 Introduction
This document provides design criteria for sanitary sewers including interceptors,
collectors, building service connections, Rising (force) Mains and related appurtenances.
The CPHEEO Manual on Sewerage and Sewage Treatment, second edition, is the
primary reference for design criteria. In addition to the CPHEEO Manual additional
references and other International design guidelines and practices have been used to
develop the design criteria.
Industrial waste water shall be treated separately. In those cases where industrial
wastes are allowed to be discharged to the municipal system attention shall be given to
the volume and composition of the wastewater. Before allowing an industrial discharge
to the sewer, data should be collected by the industry about the industry process,
quantity and quality of the waste water. Based on these data the impact on the sewers
and treatment processes should be evaluated by OWSSB and the suitability of
transporting and treating the treated waste water will be determined.
Sewage collection systems will be designed for a period of 30 years. The base year will
be 2011. The ultimate design year will be 2045.
6.6 Population
The population will be based on data provided by the local development authorities and
the flows for each tributary area and sewer reach shall be calculated in accordance with
the population densities for the given area as presented in Chapter 4.
The amount of water returned as sewage will be 80% in accordance with the CPHEEO
Manual (REF 1, Page 39). This will result in a per capita wastewater flow of 120 LPCD.
The Peak Factors is the ratio of maximum to average daily flow and is a function of
service area population. This factor is applied to the average daily wastewater flows to
account for higher than normal daily flows. Design peak factors are summarized in Table
6.1 with reference to contributory Population.
The CPHEEO Manual on sewerage and sewage treatment specifies rates for ground
water infiltration for sewers (clause 3.2.7). The groundwater infiltration rates are
summarized in Table 6.2.
Groundwater infiltrations rate will be based on pipeline length (i.e. – liters / kilometres /
day) and on permeability of soil. Major portions of the project area of District VI,
Bhubaneswar are in higher elevation and the ground water table is low. The soil strata
are generally of laterite or moorum beyond 1.5m depth overlaid by hard soil. As such the
soil strata can be considered as semi-permeable and accordingly a lower infiltration rate
of 2500 liters / kilometres / day has been considered in the hydraulic design of sewers.
The designer will use Manning’s Formula for open channel flow and the Hazen Williams
Formula for closed pressure conduit in rising (force) mains. The Modified Hazen
Williams Formula may also be used for rising mains. The Manning’s formula is given
below. (Ref. Page 46 of Manual of Sewerage and Sewage Treatment by CPHEEO). The
Hazen - Williams and Modified Hazen - Williams formulae are described in Rise (Force)
Main Design (Section 6.15.1).
Manning’s Formula
V= (1/n) x (R2/3) x (S½)

Q= (1/n) x (A) x (R ) x (S½)
Where:
Q= Discharge (cubic meters per second)
S= Slope of Hydraulic Gradient (meter/meter)
R= Hydraulic Radius (meters)
A= Cross Sectional Area of Flow Stream (square meters)
V= Velocity (meters per second)
n = Manning’s Coefficient of Roughness (dimensionless)
The values of Manning’s Roughness Coefficient (n) for various pipeline materials are
summarized in Table 6.3 below.
Adjustments may be made in the roughness factor if the existing sewers are being
evaluated.
small initial peak flows, typically the upper reaches of the system, depths will be shallow
and correspondingly velocities may be less than 0.6 m/sec. In these cases a minimum
velocity of 0.3 m/sec will be allowed which is sufficient to ensure minimum self cleaning
velocity. In those cases where a 0.3 m/sec velocity cannot be maintained periodic sewer
flushing will be required.
The pipe diameter and slope shall be selected to obtain the greatest practical velocities
to minimize settling problems.
To avoid scouring and erosion of sewer pipes caused by sand and other gritty material
the maximum velocity in gravity sewers is recommended not to exceed 3.0 m/sec, as per
section 3.4.3.2 of the CPHEEO Manual.
As per CPHEEO Manual sewers are to be designed to flow 0.8 full at ultimate peak flow.
As suggested the sewers will be designed for 0.5 and 0.8 for current peak flow and
ultimate peak flow, respectively. In addition, a d/D ratio of 0.5 (maximum) for sewer
diameter up to 300 mm and 0.8 (maximum) for larger diameters at design peak flow. It is
often not possible to achieve the required depth in the upper reaches of the sewer
system.
• Minimum diameter of pipe: The minimum diameter for public sewer shall be 150
mm. Sub-main (collector) sewer connected with two or more laterals shall be a
minimum diameter of 200 mm.
• Maximum diameter of pipe: As per detailed design.
• Minimum cover: 1.0m from above the pipe crown. This can be reduced to 0.8 m in
lanes where movement of four - wheeler heavy vehicle are not anticipated.
• Maximum depth of Sewer: As per detailed design. However effort will be made to
limit the maximum deph of sewer to 7.0 m in Bhubaneswar and 5.0m in Cuttack
when considering the geotechnical information.
• Bedding for Sewers : As per site conditions. Sewer bedding design for different soil
conditions will be furnished in accordance with IS 783 – 1985 / CPHEEO manual.
• Location of Sewers on roads : As per site conditions
6.12.1 Buoyancy
For pipelines and appurtenances to be installed in areas where high groundwater exists,
buoyancy will be taken into consideration. For these areas buoyancy of sewers and
appurtenances shall be considered and flotation of the pipe shall be prevented with the
proper design of anchoring systems at joints and along the pipeline and for structures as
necessary and as per manufacturer’s recommendations.
Sewers shall be laid with uniform slope between two consecutive manholes to provide a
steady hydraulic profile (TWL).
Where velocities greater than 3.6 m/s are attained, special provision shall be made to
protect against displacement by erosion and impact.
6.12.5 Alignment
In general, sewers shall be laid with straight alignment between manholes. Curvilinear
alignment of sewers will not be considered for design.
When a smaller sewer joins a larger one, the invert of the larger sewer should be
lowered sufficiently to maintain the same energy gradient. An approximate method for
securing these results is to place the 0.8 depth point of both sewers at the same
elevation or to match the crown elevation.
6.12.7 Materials
Generally accepted material for sewers will be given consideration, but the material
selected should be adapted to local conditions, such as abrasion, corrosion, and similar.
RCC pipe Class NP3 shall be used for diameters up to 900 mm Class NP4 for diameters
above 900 mm. RCC non-pressure pipe suitable for joints with rubber gaskets shall be
watertight and conform to IS 458:2003. Portland Pozzolana Cement shall conform to IS
1489(Part 1): 1991 shall be recommended for piping materials. Where a specification is
not available, equivalent industry standard specifications may be acceptable.
6.13.1 Manholes
manholes to be employed for different diameter of sewers and for different depths. The
selection of types of manhole shall also be based on the economic and construction
factors.
Table 6.4: Manhole Sizes Vs Depth Diameters
Circular manholes For depth above 0.90m and up to 1.65m 900 mm diameter
Circular manholes For depth above 1.65m and up to 2.30m 1200 diameter
Circular manholes For depth above 2.30m and up to 9.0m 1500 mm diameter
Circular manholes For depth above 9.0m and up to 14m 1800 mm diameter
Consideration in selecting manhole size will also be given based on sewer size as noted
in Table 6.5.
Considering structural safety only circular manholes are being proposed. Rectangular
manholes may be provided based on specific site requirements. Diameter of manholes
shall be per the CPHEEO Manual and IS 4111(Part 1). Manholes should be built at
changes of alignment, gradient or diameters, and at junction of two or more sewers. On
sewers which are to be cleaned manually and cannot be entered for cleaning or
inspection, the maximum distance between manholes shall be per The CPHEEO
Manual. Table 6.6 gives the standard manhole spacing criteria. In addition, the spacing
of manholes on large sewers above 900 mm diameter is governed by the following:
For sewers which are to be cleaned with mechanical devices, the spacing of manholes
will depend upon the type of equipment to be used for cleaning sewers.
NOTES: Manhole spacing intervals are derived from CPHEEO (REF 1).
The diameters of manholes shall be such that there should be a clear opening of not
less than 560 mm diameter per entry. Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete covers (SFRC) or
RCPC manhole covers conforming to IS 12592:2002 will be used. Cover and Frame
shall be extra heavy duty (EHD 35) or Heavy Duty (HD-20) grade designation. Internal
diameter of 560 mm will be considered.
The design of a sewage riser main (force main) must be coordinated with the design of
the wastewater pumping station. An analysis of the range of design flows for the
proposed pumping stations must be completed and this information used in the design of
force mains system. The Hazen-Williams (HW) formula and the Modified Hazen-Williams
(MHW) formula will be provided to OWSSB for consideration and the selected formula
will be used to design the force mains. The WH formula and the MHW formula are
shown below.
• Techno-economic analysis for rising main will be done. Ductile Iron (DI) pipes with
SRC lining or equivalent will be used for forced mains.
• When minimum capacity pumps are working the velocity should not be less the
0.60 m/sec in accordance with the IS Standard Specification.
• Total discharge heads should be minimized.
• The velocity and head losses in the pumping main should be based on the actual
discharge, within the limits of the selected pumps. Velocity and head losses
should not be based on peak average and peak discharge flows.
• Alignment: Develop the proposed alignment in plan and depict the changes in
force main elevations in profile. The number of air release/vacuum value
installations should be minimized. This can be achieved by reducing the number
of high points and slope breaks, and by using a profile that rises continuously from
the pumping station toward the transition manhole. This allows the use of air
injection as a method for the control of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) corrosion and odor
problems, if necessary.
• Head loss in fittings: When calculating head losses in force mains due to fittings
an additional 10% friction loss shall be added to the theoretical design value. Pipe
fittings will include, but not be limited to, horizontal/vertical bends, reducers,
enlargers and valves. Final hydraulic calculations will be checked once the final
force main alignment and number of fittings are known. Adjustments may be
made if necessary.
• Develop the system curve for the force main, which shows the total energy
losses associated with the range of possible pumping rates. Using the system
curve, develop the HGL profiles.
• Develop HGL profiles for the range of pumping rates (minimum, average and
maximum rates) planned for the pumping station. Pumping regime shall conform
to NRCD guidelines except where noted otherwise.
• Base the static head on the difference in vertical elevations between the wet well
low operating level and the point of force main discharge to the gravity sewer.
• It is desirable to minimize the length of the force main so as to minimize the cost
of construction and operation.
6.15.3 Down-Hill Pumping and Force Mains.
For areas where the vertical profile of the force main indicates that downhill pumping
conditions may occur, this will require special analysis to ensure proper hydraulic
performance. These types of force main profiles are also conducive to potential severe
water-hammer pressures caused by rapid velocity change in the force main resulting
from pump start up or shut down. It is therefore recommended that force main profiles
which can generate downhill flow be avoided. If downward pumping condition cannot be
avoided, then proper hydraulic performance of the force main should be ensured based
on sound engineering and design principles.
• The downward sloping force main section following the high point may not flow full
during initial line start up because the flow carrying capacity exceeds the line filling
rate. The elevation of the high point, in this case, will give the highest static head that
the pump must overcome during initial start up.
• The downward sloping force main section may not flow under pressure at some
pumping rates during normal operation of the pumping station and when pumps shut
down. Consider whether and how the pressurized pipe flow should be achieved and
maintained.
• The trapping of air/sewer gases at the high point and the downward sloping section,
and the effects on pumping head and removal of the air/gas from the force main
should be considered.
• In general, a minimum velocity of 0.6 m/s is required to maintain solids in
suspension. Velocities ranging from 0.9 – 1.1 m/s would be required to re-suspend
solids that have settled in the force main. This higher velocity is required for force
main profiles which exhibit multiple high points and low points. Relatively small
stations with intermittent pumping of one or two pumps generally should be designed
for higher minimum velocities in the force main, compared to larger stations having
more than three pumps. The minimum velocity required must be based on
engineering as well as operation and maintenance considerations.
• The maximum velocity in a force main is about 1.8 m/s. With velocities upto 3 m/s
allowed (CPEHEEO Manual, Section 3.4.7), high velocities generating high head
losses and potential severe waterhammer pressures are not desirable. Flow velocity
can vary in a force main, depending on the number of pumps operating in a pumping
station. Base the maximum force main velocity on the peak pumping rate that would
be delivered during the peak wastewater influent condition.
• The minimum size for a force main is 100 mm (4-inch) diameter.
• Evaluate the severity of waterhammer pressures in the force main under the
worse case scenario assuming power failure at the pumping station coincident
with firm pumping capacity.
• Air release, and air and vacuum valves shall be installed as necessary at high points
along the force main alignment.
• Blowoffs.
⁻ Locate blow offs near the wastewater pumping station. The wastewater pumping
station by-pass piping may be used to blow off the force main piping.
⁻ Blow offs along the force main normally are not required, however, where the force
main contains a long depressed section between two high points or in case the force
main needs a point to drain the system, a blow off is recommended.
• Flushing Connections.
Provide flushing connections on the force main where necessary for proper
maintenance and cleaning of the pipe.
• Transition manhole.
⁻ The connection between the force main and gravity sewer are designed with a
transition manhole so that wastewater will be flowing full in the force main. Typically,
the invert of the gravity sewer will be 25 mm (1 inch) above the crown or top of the
force main.
⁻ When the force main is 300 mm and larger, provide a design for the transition
manhole with a connection to the manhole that will allow the force main to remain full
at all times. The design must also protect maintenance personnel or others from
harm while accessing the manhole.
⁻ Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) corrosion mitigation to be specified as required by the
design.
• Thrust Restraint
The horizontal and vertical alignments for pumping mains shall be reviewed for thrust
restraints. Horizontal and vertical alignment changes shall be fitted with poured in
place thrust restraint anchors in order to prevent the separation of flexible joints as
necessary. Thrust restraints should be designed for the pipeline thrust load and the
bearing strength for the adjacent soils structure will be designed.
It may be practical to install small diameter gravity pipelines and pumping mains in
confined or congested areas with trenchless technologies. Trenchless technologies for
sewer design and installation will be evaluated for specific locations as necessary during
the design phase. Wherever trenchless technology is not feasible, due to confined road
with high rise buildings or water Table conditions, open excavation using SBH shoring or
equivalent system may be considered during design and cost estimating efforts.
Piping and permanent casing systems, fabricated of ferric materials, will be protected
against corrosion degradation as needed. The protection system should include coating
systems and cathodic devices. The systems should be designed for degradation from
chemical and electrolytic reactions. Due to short life spans and maintenance difficulties
underground sacrificial anodes should not be used for corrosion protection. Other
alternative methods will be considered and recommended during the design. Test
stations will be installed at regular intervals along pipelines fabricated of ferric materials.
Any deviations from approved plans or specifications affecting capacity, flow, operation
of units, or point of discharge shall be approved, in writing, before such changes are
made. Plans or specifications so revised should, therefore, be submitted well in advance
of any construction work which will be affected by such changes to permit sufficient time
for review and approval. Structural revisions or other minor changes not affecting
capacities, flows, or operation will be permitted during construction without approval. "As
built" plans clearly showing such alterations shall be submitted to the reviewing authority
at the completion of the work.

7. Collection System Design
7.1 Topographic Survey
The project area has been surveyed using Total Station and Automatic Level
Instruments survey technology to prepare Topographical Plans of the City detailing
features like road, railways, drains, canals, culverts, building lines, ponds and low laying
areas. Figure 7.1 shows a Total Station used on the project. Drawings have been
developed in AutoCAD.
The first step as part of the field work was to locate temporary and permanent Bench
Marks (GTS / any other reference Bench Marks) and survey them by parallel levelling in
loops throughout the city to establish vertical and horizontal controls. Next a 500 meter
grid system was established covering the study area. Finally spot elevations were taken
across the project area to establish roadway elevations, cross sections and as the basis
for creating the topography contours. Once the field work was completed the data were
checked and reduced into existing conditions plans.
The Great Trigonometrical Survey (GTS) Bench Mark inside Veterinary Science College
of OUAT (Odisha University of Agriculture & Technology) as shown in Figure 7.2 was
identified by OWSSB to be taken as the Reference Bench Mark for the survey work and
accordingly this was use used as the starting Bench Mark. The Reduced level (RL) i.e.
it’s elevation above Mean Sea Level (MSL) of this Bench Mark was ascertained to be
40.273 m and used in the survey as a reference and all subsequent transfer of levels
has been carried out to other Bench Marks.
All together 39 Benchmarks have been established in the project area at about 1 Km
intervals along road ways and at proposed locations of STP and Sewage Pumping
Stations. Out of these 8 are of Permanent nature and established in protected places
like premises of Government Departments mostly inside Over Head Tank premises of
PH Engineering Department. The rest 31 numbers are of temporary nature designated
as Reference pillars established by constructing small RCC pillars along road sides for
use during construction. The benchmark locations for District VI, Bhubaneswar is shown
in Figure 7.3.
Positions, both in plan and elevation, of natural and artificial features like waterways,
railway tracks, pucca and kutcha roads including culverts and crossings were
established and subsequently shown on survey maps by means of conventional
symbols. Necessary levelling work of the area were surveyed and plotted on maps by
establishing horizontal location so that contours for the area can be done at specified
intervals and in specified scales.
The field work has been done with Total Station Equipment in the following steps:
Total Station Instrument used for the topographic Survey works is Sokkia – 510 with
accuracy of 5 seconds (ISO 12857 – 2 1997).
Spot elevations were taken at an interval of 25 meters along roadways for contouring the
area. Levels have also be taken on traverse stations and on salient points located at
random over the area. Contours were interpolated at 0.5 M intervals after the above
points were plotted. Spot elevations have been distributed over the area off the
roadways for contouring.
Cross Sections of roads have been collected at 50 m interval in straight section and at
25m interval in curve locations as shown in Figure 7.4.
This elevation and cross-section data were used in the design of the sewers and specific
site topography plans were mapped for the treatment plant and pumping station.
The sewer system for Bhubaneswar District VI has been designed using Bentley Sewer
CAD V8i. the Sewer CAD V8i is a powerful software for the design of gravity flow
through sewer networks. The software can be run in Micro station and AutoCAD mode
or in a Stand-Alone mode utilizing its own graphical interface.
Sewer CAD V8i allows the designer to create a graphical representation of a pipe
network containing information on each pipe and manhole based on a set of design
criteria such as population, flow, and hydraulics. It provides a choice of conveyance
elements including circular pipes, arches, boxes and non-conventional shapes. The
Sewer CAD model is used to analyze conditions under one flow condition at a time.
These typically include average and peak flows for different design years.
The area in District VI where new sewers are being designed was divided in 3 Zones.
These Zones are based on the topography of the three watersheds that generally drain
from west to east toward the treatment plant site. In several cases, these Zones were
further divided into subzones because of divides like the railroad and drainage canals.
Sewer CAD offers different methods for drawing the elements and assigning data to the
elements. The method used for Bhubaneswar District VI is given below:
Survey maps were converted into a SewerCAD base map and then into a .dxf format for
use in the model. The SewerCAD model elements (i.e. Manholes, Pipes, and Pumping
Stations) as planned on paper drawings were then entered on the base map. Figure 7.5
shows an example of the model elements drawing on the SewerCAD screen.
SewerCAD has various built-in utilities to highlight errors in the drawings created by the
designer (unconnected elements, pipe crossings, loops, etc). These facilities were used
to identify and correct such errors in the model drawings created for Cuttack.
After the model drawing was ready, SewerCAD built-in features were used to divide the
Zones into individual catchments for each pipe based on topography. These data were
used for calculating flows in each pipe based on population densities previously
calculated by Ward and disaggregated by Zone, along with per-capita flows and
infiltration.
Once the model drawing was created, each element was assigned its corresponding
data values as described below. The method of data input into SewerCAD was through
a graphical user interface.
• Project Setup: The first step in setting up the project was to define the basic
parameters such as units and the friction loss calculation method to be used. The
design of Sewer net work of District-VI, Bhubaneswar has been done using the SI
unit system and Manning’s equation for gravity flows. Figure 7.6 below shows
project setup Table.
• Element Data: Once the project setup stage was completed data were assigned to
each element of the model. These data, such as material, size, infiltration, were
defined for each pipe element. The population and ground elevation were also
defined for each Manhole. These data were also entered using graphical user
interface.
7.3 Design
After setting the design parameters, the Sewer CAD model was ready for run. Before
designing the network, validation of the model was done to check completeness of these
data attributed to each element of the model. The validation process identified errors in
the input data and these were corrected before the model was run.
The model was then run in design mode. After getting the design results, further iteration
were done by varying different pipe parameters (slope, routing, diameter etc.) to
optimize the network within the design parameters. If the results of this iteration did not
yield a solution within the design parameters, then the model was modified by adding
pumping stations and the entire iteration process was repeated.
The final design results were prepared in the form of excel sheet and AutoCAD drawing
and included in Volume II.
A separate sewer network has been planned for each Zone. The network routing has
been done based on topography, availability of the land for pumping station, width of
roads, and shortest path to pumping stations. The original design guidelines in
Bhubaneswar called for sewers to be kept at depths less than 7 meters where practical.
At the same time an effort was made to minimize the number of pumping stations.
The original scope of the project, as presented in the SAPROF report, called for
approximately 100 km of new sewers. However to have sewer service throughout District
VI, a fast growing section of Bhubaneswar, the field survey data indicated that
approximately 259 km of sewers including manholes would be necessary. This additional
length of sewers also necessitated additional pumping stations and described in the
following Chapters on pumping station design. Most of these additional pumping stations
are in the northern portion of District VI where the sewage needs to be pumped over a
drainage divide into the northern most watersheds draining naturally to the treatment
plant.
The standard design is to locate the sewer in or near the middle of the roadway and to
have connections from either side of the road. However this standard was not followed in
Nandankanan Road (i.e; Road from Jaydev Vihar Square to Nandankanon Zoo).
Because it is a wide divided four-lane recently paved roadway it was decided to locate
the main sewer on one side and as necessary locate another ‘secondary’ sewer on the
opposite side. The secondary sewer receives multiple house connections and connects
to the main sewer at one point. This minimizes the number of crossings of the road from
both sides and the associated construction and roadway disruption.
The results of the sewer design in Bhubaneswar District VI are summarized in Table 7.1.
In order for the gravity sewers to function properly there needs to be access through
manholes and provisions for house connections. Figure 7.8 shows a schematic diagram
of a street with sewers, manholes, sewer connection chambers and the house
connection system to the property line. It will be the responsibility of the property owner
to make to final connection from buildings to the Inspection Chambers which will be
located at the side of the public right-of way. Following is a summary of the sewer
appurtenances and connections. Plans for each are shown in Figures 7.9 to 7.15.
7.4.1 Manholes
Manholes will be a maximum of 30 meters apart on straight runs and will also be located
at changes in grade, direction and size. Manholes will be circular and will range in size
from 900mm to 2500mm depending on depth and size of sewers. They can be either
cast-in-place or pre-cast reinforced concrete (RCC) depending on the Contractors
selection and approved by OWSSB.
These Chambers will be constructed in between the manholes and are designed to
accept the sewage from adjacent building up along the roadway. They will also be
circular and constructed of a cast-in-place or pre-casted RCC base, a shaft to 1.5m
below ground level and brickwork above to street level. The diameter will vary between
900 mm and 1800 mm depending on depth and diameter of sewer pipe. Pipes entering
these Chambers from the Inspection Chambers will enter through the brick sections, and
will transfer the sewage flow at the channel of the chamber.
The sewer connections will be RCC pipes of 150 mm in diameter and connect the
Inspection Chamber to the Sewer Connection Chamber.
These Chambers will be on both sides of the roadway / right-of-way. They will be square
chambers of one standard size with the inside dimension of 600mm and a depth of
approximately 1 meter. They will be of brick construction and placed as close to the
property line as possible to be easily accessible to the building connection. Each
Chamber will be able to connect up to 6 building sewers. It is anticipated that there will
be no more than 2 Inspection Chambers between each manhole on either side of the
road.
These sewers will be 100mm in diameter and their installation and connection to the
Inspection Chambers will be the responsibility of the property owners.
Considering the soil strata in District VI, Bhubaneswar, class – B granular bedding is
suggested for sewer bedding.

8. Trenchless Technology for Sewer Installation
8.1 Introduction
The rapid economic and social changes taking place in the urban and metropolitan cities
of India today have triggered a substantial utility infrastructure development programme,
provision of public sanitation facilities to many cities in particular. Installation of sewers in
already built up and congested cities and along built -up narrow streets and roads
without affecting the social, industrial and business activities of the people has become a
problem to many city authorities and the government departments.
In addition, road authorities and railway authorities are no longer permitting installation of
utility crossings across to their transportation corridors by non trenchless methods. This
is becoming serious issue to city authorities as such roads and railway corridors
invariably sterilise city’s residential, business and industrial areas. As such installation
of utilities across these corridors is unavoidable. Thus the utility providers have no
choice but to adopt trenchless methods for crossing such corridors regardless of the
increase in construction cost.
There are a number of trenchless methods now available to overcome the construction
difficulties and install the utility across transport corridors and waterways safely.
Conventional trenchless methods have been used in the past in many developed and
developing countries, as an alternative to open trench method to install utilities in man
dug tunnels across railways, roads, waterways, etc. The most commonly used methods
are:
Heading is the oldest trenchless method of constructing pipelines under roads, railways
or canals. In this method soil is excavated manually, usually in a square cross section.
As the excavation proceeds, the excavated section is lined with close timbering so that
when completed it forms an underground passage way between two manholes. Pipes
are then laid within the underground timbered tunnel and the space around the pipe is
filled with concrete.
To overcome the problems of excavation in unstable or water charged ground, the air
within the tunnel is pressurised (compressed) to prevent the unstable tunnel face from
collapsing and to restrain the flow of ground water into the tunnel. Figure 8.1 shows
typical heading method of trenchless construction. Working in compressed air
environment pose serious safety and health risk and the method is no longer in use and
is replaced with modern shield tunnelling methods.
Before the introduction of modern tunnelling and pipe jacking technology, the
conventional pipejacking technique was commonly used for installing larger (usually man
entry size) pipes in soft ground conditions and for crossings under urban roads, railways,
rivers and buildings. Conventional pipe-jacking process consist of pushing concrete or
steel pipes forward from a shaft by large capacity jacks as shown in Figure 8.2. While
the pipes are being pushed, excavation in front of the pipe is normally carried out
manually from within the pipe. Sometimes mechanical shields are used to assist in the
excavation. Figure 8.2 also shows the process involved in the pipe-jacking operation.
The introduction of remote controlled mini shields for tunnel excavation and
developments in directional and guided drilling techniques have given birth to a series of
trenchless techniques for installation of services in built up and congested areas without
digging up roads and across busy roads, expressways, railways etc. The new
trenchless methods for installing gravity pipelines can be grouped into the following
categories:-
Some basic definition of various terms description of the processes are given below:
8.3.1 Pipe-Jacking
8.3.2 Microtunnelling
way, any free flow of soil or ground water into the tunnel excavation is prevented. This is
an important feature in the system as any loss of soil or ground water, that are
commonly associated with the conventional cut and cover construction method, would
cause the ground to settle.
Micro tunnelling shields have capability of performing extremely well in difficult ground
conditions without expensive dewatering systems or compressed air. The machine is
efficient, effective and faster for installing pipelines. Micro tunnelling and pipe jacking
method is an environmentally friendly technology and it offers an efficient, effective and
faster method of installing underground utilities without affecting the activities of the
people or causing disturbance or damage to the nearby properties and facilities.
The technique involves the use of a steerable fluid assisted or mechanically driven
boring equipment, typically launched from the surface at an angle, to form a pilot bore.
The boring head consists of a bevelled cutter which gives the steering capability. The
method incorporates electronic sonar or other navigational system which allows position
monitoring of the drilling head. The pilot bore is then enlarged by back reaming to the
desired size. This method does not have a precise guidance system as in
microtunnelling process and is more suitable for utilities and pipelines which do not
require stringent level and alignment requirements.
The technique, illustrated in Figure 8.4, involves the use of fluid-assisted drill head that is
pushed through the ground from the starting pit where a drilling rig equipped with a
battery of drill pipes is stationed. The guidance is done by a flat end (angular head)
located on the drilling head fitted with a transmitter, with a receiver placed on the
surface. The trajectory is straight due to the rotation of the drill pipes and a simultaneous
thrust. The flat end angular head can be made to deflect to the desired direction (hence
the name directional drilling) using only a thrust without rotation.
These are commonly known as ‘Walk-over’ systems. Many of the more recently
developed walkover guidance systems also now have the capacity to ‘capture’ sonde
signals in situations where no direct access is available immediately above the
transmitter such as that in a river crossing.
In earlier years, HDD was used mainly for the installation of pressure pipes and cable
ducts, where precise gradients are not usually critical, rather than for gravity pipelines
which demand close tolerances in vertical alignment in order to meet hydraulic design
criteria. However, in more recent years, drilling machines and guidance systems have
offered improved accuracy in suitable ground conditions, and it is expected that the
technique will become increasingly popular for gravity pipelines.
Equipment capabilities have improved in recent years, both in the power and diameter of
installation available and in the wider range of ground conditions that can be bored, and
the advantages of trenchless technology for new construction have become more widely
appreciated. Some utility companies now have a presumption against open-cut
techniques (particularly in roads) where a no-dig alternative is available. Apart from the
obvious environmental benefits of trenchless installation, the relative cost of HDD has
fallen to below that of trenching for many applications, even ignoring the social costs of
traffic disruption and delay.
As with smaller rigs, it is normal practice to drill a smaller pilot hole, and then to back-
ream to the required diameter while pulling in the conduit behind the reamer, using a
drilling fluid to assist the cutting operation and to lubricate and cool the cutting head. The
fluid may also power a down-hole 'mud-motor' for cutting rock and other hard formations,
in which case higher fluid flow rates are necessary. Some systems are designed for dry
operation without the use of large quantities of water or drilling fluids. These are simpler
to operate, create less mess and do not require as much on-site equipment, but there
may be restrictions on the sizes that can be installed and on the ground conditions that
the machines can cope with.
The method is used for installation of pipes and cables usually in an arc profile. For
directional control of the drilling operation, it uses the technique involving positional
monitoring and guidance of the drill head. This method is more suitable for installing
pressure mains, cables etc but less suitable for installing gravity pipe as they require
accurate direction control both in level and alignment. Thus the use of this method is
usually not recommended for installing gravity pipelines.
The unmanned steerable micro tunnelling systems are classified into three categories
based on the way the excavated soil is conveyed and removed from the tunnel boring
machine. The excavated soil is conveyed by means of (a) screw augur conveyor (dry)
(b) Slurry through a pipeline and (c) Pneumatically through a suction pipeline
8.3.7 Earth Pressure Balance Shield (Epb Shield)/ Screw Auger Tunneling
Earth Pressure Balance Shield is a closed face tunnel boring machine. In this shield the
excavated soil itself is kept under a desired pressure in a compartment just behind the
cutter head. The excavated soil is transported from the shield’s face via an enclosed
screw auger or screw conveyor which discharges the soil into a muck car or a conveyor
belt. By controlling the rotation of the screw auger and the opening door at the discharge
outlet, the pressure of the soil in the chamber can be increased or decreased to balance
the tunnel face or the ground water pressure at the tunnel face. The Figure 8.5 illustrates
the features of Augur tunnelling shield.
Shield-General Arrangement
Slurry shield is also a closed face tunnel boring machine. In this shield the excavated
soil is made into slurry by mixing it with water or bentonite in a chamber just behind the
cutter head as shown in Figure 8.6. The slurry is pumped via pipelines from the tunnel
face to slurry separation tanks on the ground where the excavated soil is allowed to
settle while the over-flown slurry water is pumped back to the shield.
The slurry at the tunnel face is pressurised by controlling the (variable speed) slurry
pumps to a desired pressure to support the tunnel face against collapsing. The
pressurised slurry also prevents any flow of ground water from the surrounding areas.
As the shield excavates, the shield and the pipes behind are pushed forward from the
jacking shaft.
The TBM and the jacking system is designed as a compact unit for use in narrow
sections (streets,
streets, foot paths etc) with limited access and restricted space for constructing
jacking and receieving shafts. It is designed for softground, mixed ground and hard rock
conditions by use of diffrenet cutting wheel. The machine, illistrayed in Figure 8.7, is
equiped with highly effective cone crusher and heavy duty long-lifelife main bearing and high
torque peripheral drive. The TBM is capable of tunnelling in grounds with high or no water
Table and it has a highly reliable steering system on board. The machine is equipped with
high pressure water system for operation in cohesive soil.
The size of the jacking shaft for a 250mm dia pipe installation is only 2m in diameter and
that of the receiving shaft is only 1.5m (or 1.5m long x 1.0m wide rectangular shaft). Short
length jacking pipe up to 1.5m long can be jacked from the 2m jacking shaft. Usually
vitrified clay jacking pipe with stainless steel collar is used for installing smaller diameter
pipes.

In this tunnelling machine, shown in Figure 8.8, the vacuum suction technology is used
to transport the excavated soil at the tunnel face. An Australian Tunnelling Contractor
adopted this technique to install sewers in self standing type of soils with no ground
water. The excavation is done by a steerable auger head which is mechanically
powered. Automatic laser guidance system is used to steer the machine.
For harder ground, the cutter head is pushed and drilled by a string of rotating axle with
facility to exert force on the cutter head from the starting pit (not shown in the figure
below).
In stable ground, the line is bored using a full face drilling cutter. On reaching the
receiving pit, the cutting head is removed. The product pipes are then inserted into the
free bore and the annulus between the bore and the product pipe is grouted.
In softer and unstable ground the same equipment is used to sleeve bore using steel
sleeves to support the ground while drilling. On completion of the bore, product pipes are
inserted in the sleeve and the annulus between the pipe and the sleeve is grouted. The
equipment can be also used for jacking specially designed pipes, eliminating the need
for a steel sleeve.

Several compact type Auger boring systems, shown in Figures 8-9,, are available to
install smaller diameter sewers in narrow streets and pathways where no adequate
space is available to build conventional Jacking and Receiving shafts. The system uses
a compact jacking frame so that that it can fit inside the manholes or smaller shaft as
illustrated below.

The engineer shall also carry out a risk evaluation on the various trenchless methods
considered suitable for the construction and cost evaluation before selecting the final
method.
The flow diagram in the Figures 8.12 & 8.13 shows the selection procedure,
incorporating all the above factors, to select appropriate trenchless method for
construction of gravity pipelines and pressure pipelines.
consideration in the overall construction cost of sewers. The Table 8.1 below shows the
economic installation depths of trenchless sewers along concrete, paved and bituminous
roads.
Many other cost factors such as social cost, inconvenience to traffic, high labour cost etc
in Berlin would have been used in determining the economic installation depths for
trenchless sewer installation. However, in the context of Indian scenario, these costs
(social, inconvenience to traffic etc) are considered not significant at present hence the
information on the economic depths given in the Table may have to be adjusted to suit
the local economic conditions.
However, the information in the Table gives a good guideline to decide where to use
microtunnelling methods. The sewers laid by trenchless methods beyond these depths
are considered economical (when compared to the cost required to install the sewer by
conventional open trench method).
It is evident from the Table below that trenchless sewer installation of sewers of
diameters from 200mm to 800mm along concrete paved and narrow streets, is
economically justifiable against the use of open trench method. However, the problem in
India is that open trench cost is considerably cheap because all the contractors are
allowed to adopt wide trenching, poorly made concrete pipe with weak or improper joints
and shoddy or no reinstatement of road surface.
Table 8.1: Economic Installation depths (minimum depth in meters) for trenchless
installation of sewers below concrete and bitumen surfaced road.
The selection of the approparite trenchless techniques for installtion of gravity pipelines
are influenced by:
Thus, at the planning stage and prior to starting construction works, it is necessary to
gather relevant information and documents and to make them available in the bids as
appropraite. A ‘microtunnelling specific’ geotechnical investigation is critical, not only for
the selection of approriate tunnelling machine but also to drive the machine through
different soil strata that may be present along the route.
Only the specialist contractors who have the required technical qualifications, capability
and realiability and who possess sufficient technical and economioc means shall be
assigned with the trenchless constrction works.
The below Table shall be also read in conjuction with information in the garin size
distribution curve in Figure 8.14, obtained from the publication of Herrenknecht
Tunnelling Systems, Germany.
Figure 8.14: Grain size distribution curve and applicability of Slurry and EPB shield
Micro tunnelling can be carried out through wide ranging soils and rocks including soft
clay, sandy clay, silty soils, sandy soils, gravel soil, gravel with cobble consolidated soil,
laterite soft rock, weathered rock and hard rock, almost in all types of ground strata with
high ground water table or in dry conditions
Selection of the right micro tunnelling system is much depended on the actual soil
conditions and the ground water table to be encountered at the tunnel face. Thus it is
critical to know the geotechnical conditions and the ground water table along the tunnel
route. Figure 8.15 illustrates typical soil profile and figure 8.16 shows soil data of a town.
This soil conditions are consistent through the city where soils are typically sand and silt
with soft clay, a high water table and no rock. The figure 8.16 also illustrates the typical
jacking of pipes through such varying soil strata.
However the soil strata in Bhubaneswar (District VI) Project area, predominantly rocky
dominant by laterite and sand stone, with silty sand, clay silt and hard soil or moorum at
some areas, mostly in top layers. An appropriate Trenchless Technology of Micro-
Tunnelling method suitable for these soil strata shall be selected while taking up the
work.
8.6 Tolerances
Maximum allowable deviation from the designed alignment and level shall be defined in
the tender. The limit of tolerances shall be such that the sewer shall fulfil its function and
does not endanger other structures. Similarly allowance on ground subsidence and
heaves shall be also specified. When setting limits on the tolerances, the owner shall
take into account of important structures and infrastructure facilities in the vicinity and
directly above the sewer.
< 600 ± 20 ± 25
≥ 600 ≤ 1000 ± 25 ± 40
≥ 1400 ± 50 ± 200
Design and construction of Jacking and Receiving Shafts are critical for trenchless
construction by microtunnelling techniques. They are expensive to construct and
contribute a significant cost in the unit trenchless cost. Thus, they shall be effectively
utilised and often they are utilised to construct manholes and chambers etc.
Jacking shaft diamension is governed by the jacking pipe lengths or foot print of the
jacking frame. Receiving pit serves the pupose of recovering the tunnelling machine or
recovering the pilot rods, steel casings etc. Thus, its diamension is often governed by
the daimension of the tunnelling shiled.
The sizes of the jacking and receiving pits as given in the Standrad DWA-A 125 E is
shown in table 8.4 below.
Buried sewer pipes are subjected to permanent soil load from the overburden soil, live
loads from traffic above and hydraulic loads etc. In India the sewer pipes are classified
into NP1, NP2, NP3 and NP4 categories depending on the loads the pipe is designed to
carry. The jacking pipes will fall under NP4 category.
Various types of jacking pipe are used for construction of sewers. They comprise:
Jacking pipes are subjected to substantial installation loads (mainly from the jacking load
required to push the pipes) and permanent loads (as explained above) which are usually
much less than those which may act on the pipe during installation. As such minimum
NP4 pipe is recommended for use in the project. The pipe shall comply with IS458 and
IS 3597or relevant British or Australian or European Standards. AS/NZS 4058: 2007
gives the method for determining the permanent vertical loads acting on pipes installed
by pipe jacking method.
The jacking pipe is installed underground into undisturbed natural ground where the
soil’s natural cohesion contributes to arching over the pipe. However in the context of
sewer installed in developing areas (prevalent in developing countries), where there is a
likelihood of future developmental activities in the vicinity of the sewer interfering with the
integrity of the soil, it is recommended to disregard the arching effect in the soil.
The axial load capacity of the concrete pipe is determined based on the minimum pipe
wall thickness, concrete strength, properties of the timber packers and the deflections
that can be expected at pipe joints during installation.
Given the size and the length of pipes to be used in the project, it is recommended that
vitrified clay jacking pipes (to be imported) for sewers up to 800m diameter and HDPE
or PVC lined Reinforced Concrete Jacking Pipes for sewers beyond 900mm diameter.
A corrosion protection system such as HDPE or PVC shall be embedded firmly into the
inner concrete surface of the jacking pipe. The corrosion protection system shall be cast
in situ with the pipe as an integral part of the jacking pipe. The Contractor/manufacturer
shall acquire the know-how and the technology for installing the above-mentioned
corrosion protection system and shall demonstrate to the owner his capability to produce
HDPE or PVC lined Jacking Pipe before commencement of production.
The outside and inside diameters of the pipe shall be such that they match the
dimensions of the tunnelling equipment or vice versa. The standard length of the pipe
may be 2.00m or 2.5m or any suitable length. However, the length of the pipe shall be
shortened if desired by the Contractor/ Manufacturer to suit the site conditions with
Engineer’s approval. The precast reinforced concrete pipes shall be sufficiently
reinforced with steel to withstand all stresses induced by handling, jacking, earth and
water pressures and all working loads at the depths at which they are to be used without
cracking, spalling or distortion.
The pipes shall be of at least strength Class NP4. A load factor (for the maximum jacking
force) of not less than 2.5 shall be used in the calculations to determine the strength of
the pipes required. The strength of the pipes shall be tested by the three edge bearing
test. When subjected to the design load in such a test, the load required to produce the
crack width of 0.25mm on the pipe shall be in accordance with IS Code 458. When
designing the jacking pipes, the Contractor/ Manufacturer shall take into consideration
the following: jacking load, pipe stiffness, corrosive resistance, flexibility, durability etc.
The Contractor/ Manufacturer shall submit full details of his proposals for the pipes,
giving detailed drawings showing sizes, reinforcement and type of joints, calculations,
together with the name of the proposed manufacturer, the place of manufacture and the
manufacturing process to the Engineer for approval along with a consent letter for
manufacture of the pipes.
All workmanship and materials used in the manufacture shall be subject to the approval
of the Engineer who shall from time to time be permitted to inspect materials at source
and the manufacturing processes in the factory. Contractor/ Manufacturers shall allow
for eccentric loading in the pipe, rather than an axial loading, during the installation of the
pipe. To minimize the resultant pipe stresses in a jacking pipe and to achieve a trouble
free jacking operation, attention shall be paid to the following:
The pipes shall be sufficiently cured before they are used in the construction of the
Works. They shall be handled with extreme care to prevent the edges of the pipes from
chipping. Repaired pipes shall not be allowed for use in the Contract.
(a) Pipe shall be straight and uniform with square ends. The joints shall be well
formed to allow efficient transfer of jacking load from pipe to pipe.
(b) Pipe joint shall be fitted with compressible packer for better distribution of jacking
load.
(c) The jacking frame, jacks and steering head shall be properly aligned along the
designed alignment and grade and the whole assembly shall be square and true
to the thrust wall.
After factory testing and before dispatch, every pipe and special shall be marked in
accordance with the Standard used. In addition, each pipe shall be marked with a
number corresponding with the order of manufacture. Test certificates from the
manufacturers or other relevant authority shall be submitted to the Engineer. Vitrified
Clay and Concrete pipe are shown in Figures 8.17 and 8.18 and a typical detail of a
jacking pipe is shown in Figure 19. Tables 8.5 and 8.6 show the characteristics of each
type of pipe.

Table 8.6: Typical dimension of Vitrified Clay Jacking pipe and Jacking loads
The jointing arrangement for the jacking pipes is crucial in terms water-tightness,
flexibility and smooth transmission of jacking force. The joints bands shall be made of
weldable structural stainless steel to BS 4360 Grade 43 or equivalent I.S.
The stainless steel coupling shall be of such dimension and thickness so that when
inserted into the pipe, it fits exactly into the recesses in the pipe. The joint so formed
shall be watertight. The joint details shall be approved by the Engineer. The joint band
shall be cast in situ into the jacking pipe while manufacturing of the pipe.
The Contractor/ Manufacturer shall submit details of the joint band including the details
of anchoring to the reinforcement (See Figure 8.20 below). The Contractor/
Manufacturer shall submit joint details to the Engineer for approval.
Figure 8.20 Sketch showing pipe joint with single sided fixed guide ring
The joint rubber rings supplied and installed shall be of the Cornelius rubber ring type or
similar approved and shall be capable of accommodating two (2) degrees deflection at
each joint. Joint rings shall meet with the current I.S 5328 of 1969 and B.S 2494 part 2 of
1967 or be of approved quality by the Engineer. The properties of the joint ring shall be
between those specified in BS 2494:1967 for grade D and grade B. The testing of rubber
ring shall confirm to IS. 3400 of 1965 and also IS. 5382 of 1969.
The Contractor/ Manufacturer shall indicate the grade of rubber rings he intends to use
and submit samples for approval and test prior to bring them to the Works. The grade,
type or source of supply of rubber rings may not be changed without the written approval
of the Engineer.
Suitable compressible packers shall be used at the joints for distributing the jacking force
evenly through the wall of the jacking pipes. Uneven transfer of jacking force from a pipe
to another shall result in concentrated and excessive stresses in the pipe which can
cause the pipe to crack. Contractor/ Manufacturer shall submit details of the
compressible packers for Engineers approval. The recommended packing is 18mm thick
650/675kg/cum density chipboard firmly anchored in position.
8.9 Design Guidelines for Microtunnelling And Pipejacking Works and Jacking Pipe
The shafts constitute an important element of the project, particularly due to their cost
which often in the range of 20% to 25 %of the total cost. Thus the optimisation of a
microtunnelling project is therefore limited by the number and the dimensions of these
shafts (depth, length and width) and this is an important part in the design of a project.
The number of shafts obviously depends on the nature of the project (such as total
length, number of turns, availability of space for shafts etc) and the maximum jacking
length planned by the contractor.
One should keep in mind that the depth of shafts play a significant role in the cost and
hence the sewer shall be designed considering the topography and operation to keep
the depth of sewers as low as technically possible.
Whereas, the dimension of the exit shaft depends only on the length of TBM.
For a 2.5 m long pipe, the dimension of the starting shaft can be about 4m by 4.5m for
900mm dia pipe to about 6m by 6.5m for 2400mm dia pipe while for exit shaft the
dimensions respectively are about 3m by 4.5m and 4.5 m by 5m. The shape can be
rectangular, circular or egg shaped and the choice often depends on orientation of the
drive, ground conditions, water table etc.
Shafts are normally constructed using metallic sections, sheet piles, shortcrete, precast
segments diaphragm wall, cast insitu concrete etc.
• Sheet pile wall: interlocking sheet piles are driven into the ground. Suitable in
soft ground with high water table (recommended for use in the project).
• Steel liner plats: Steel liner plate (structural) elements are used to line the
excavated face of the shafts.
The forces in the retaining structures (apart from the thrust wall- see detail below) are
also calculated in a classical manner taking into account of earth pressure to be
supported. Jet cement grouting is sometime used, especially in deep shafts constructed
in very soft clay strata to prevent upheaval of the base and enhance the stability of the
temporary support system.
Chemical grouting or jet cement grouting is a sometime used to stabilise the soil at the
shield entry and exit points of the shaft.
The Trust wall, usually a concrete wall must be sized to be able to transfer the jacking
force to the surrounding ground through the retaining structure (say sheet pile).
The thrust wall stress [P/ (h2x b)] must not exceed the stop stress p that can be
mobilised in the ground (See figure 8.21 below).
The thrust required for Jacking (Ptotal) is determined by adding the pressure at the head
of the boring machine that is required at the tunnel face (Rp) and the frictional forces (F)
that are exerted on to the pipeline surface by the surrounding soil. The latter increases
with the length of the pipes jacked in and generally constitute a predominant part of
jacking force applied at the jacking shaft.
The friction between the soil and the jacking pipes depends on the nature and condition
of the soil and the jacking pipe surface as well as other parameters such as the depth,
size of the over cut, lubrication and stoppage of jacking operation etc. In general the
local friction stress f, commonly known as unit friction between the pipe surface and the
soil is given by the following formula (See Figure 8.22 below).
F= ∫f.л.D.dL P = F + Rp
Rp
The unit friction may be determined from change in the jacking forces recorded during
microtunnelling operations. It can be also defined from effective stress σ normal to the
pipes and the ground pipe frictional coefficient by the following relation.
i e f = *σ’
Dynamic Friction f: this is the friction during jacking, when the pipeline is advancing
within the soil.
Static friction f stat : this is the friction that is caused after a stoppage in jacking. Due to
the creep in most grounds, this friction is generally greater than the dynamic friction.
Lubricated friction flub :in order to reduce the frictional forces, lubricating products are
injected between the ground and the pipes, which leads to a value flub of the unit friction.
The additional friction is a function of the ground, particularly its tendency for creeping. It
is also linked to the duration of the stoppage in jacking. The results obtained in Europe
indicate that this additional friction is noticeably proportional to the logarithm of the
duration of the stoppage.
The forces on the cutter head depends essentially on the nature of the ground, the cutter
diameter and tunnelling parameters such as jacking speed, mucking flows etc. The
forces on the cutter head (Rp) may be characterised by rp , apparent resistance at the
cutter head which includes the effect of forces on the cutting wheel ( some time the
wheel exert a pressure on the tunnel face to facilitate cutting of soil) and that of the
mucking liquid pressure .
Thus, Rp = rp . л. De2 /4
The experimental results have given the maximum and average values of rp for three
group soft soils: sand, sand and gravel and clay.
Sand Sand+gravel Clay
Max of rp max 1800kPa 2300kPa 800kPa
Average of rp max 1000kPa 1700kPa 600kPa
It is suggested to adopt average values for sizing of the jacking system and pipes, by
noting that the forces corresponding to the active earth pressure represents a lower limit
in relation to the risk of over excavation at the face.
for worse scenario, the unit friction shall be ( f + f sup ) and rp shall be rp max
8.9.10 Calculation of the maximum acceptable thrust by the pipes during Jacking
When the pipes are installed by jacking, they are subjected to transverse actions (weight
of earth, overloads traffic load etc) and to longitudinal actions (jacking stresses). It is the
latter that determine most often the sizing of pipes.
The distribution rings being able to transfer only compressive forces, the maximum
thrust of jacking cylinders must take into account the off centring of the application of
thrust.
The pipe manufactures shall apply a safety coefficient that reduces the compressive
strength of materials and thus defines the permissible stresses on the pipes, which must
not be exceeded on site. This permissible thrust is generally defined up to a limiting
angulation of 1 degree.
The German Standard ATVA 161 proposes the use of a safety coefficient equal to the
ratio of stresses σmax/ σ0 where σmax is the maximum marginal stress and σ0 the stress
distributed uniformly in the case of a resulting cantered theoretical thrust.
However for larger deviations, produced by opening of joints in case of projects with
curved alignments, the contact area at the joints (i.e. part of the diameter under where
there is compression in the contact plane) will be less than 100%, a σmax/ σ0 ratio as
high as 10 is used.
In the context of the trenchless construction to be carried out in the project area, a
selection guide is proposed below in Figure 8.23 for different site scenarios for deciding
on trenchless or open trench method for a particular site. The selection the method is
predominantly based on economic and technical considerations.
Scenario 2: Sewer is below very busy road and no space is available for detour
Scenario 3: Sewer is below railway lines and no approval is possible for open trench works
Scenario 4: Sewer in hard rock (of strength >100mpa) and sewer depth is greater than 4m
Scenario 5: Deep Sewer of depth greater than 6m and in water charged soft ground
Scenario 6: Sewer depth is less than 6m, good ground and sufficient space is available for
open trench excavation and traffic diversion
Scenario 7: Narrow road width in built up areas with no space for traffic diversion. The surface
surfa
is concreted or stoned paved or bituminous and high ground water table.
Case 1: Depth of Sewer is less than 1.5m Case 2: Depth of Sewer is greater than 1.5m.
The cost of microtunneling and pipe jacking is considered expensive when compared to
the conventional open trench construction cost. However, from a holistic economic
perspective, installation of sewers by microtunnelling technology is not expensive if not
cheaper than that of open trench method. In an urban setting, there are numerous
hidden social, business and environmental costs, which are usually not taken into
account in the overall cost as their economic impact on the society, are considered
unimportant in many Indian cities (also around the world). However, the open trench
method is indeed economical in sub urban and rural areas where the impact of social,
business and environmental cost is relatively less.
Microtunnelling and Pipejacking process is heavily mechanised and uses only a small
skilled labour force. Thus, the microtunnelling cost is predominately governed by the
cost of the equipment and machinery such as TBM, Crane, Generator, Jacking
equipment etc. The cost of jacking pipe is fairly uniform and predictable since it is usually
manufactured in a highly mechanised manufacturing environment. The cost of such of
equipment and machinery from country to country does not vary significantly and hence
the microtunnelling rates tend to be similar regardless of the country in which the
techniques are used.
The various major cost components in microtunnelling and pipejacking works can be
classified into about eight major cost items and they are :-
Appropriate costs for each item can be worked with reasonable accuracy based on basic
cost components in terms of equipment, labour and material etc. The microtunnelling
and pipejacking cost for sewer installation per meter can be expressed as the
summation of the cost of following major items and the cost equation can be expressed
as;
(a) Overall Cost of Tunnelling and Jacking, comprising Equipment Cost (TBM
and others), Labour Cost (TBM operators and others), Operational Cost
(Spares, wear and tear etc) and Cost of Slurry handling and disposal
(b) Cost of HDPE lined RC Jacking Pipe comprising Cost of RC Jacking Pipe,
Cost of HDPE Lining and Cost of Stainless Steel Collar.
Approximately for smaller diameter trenchless sewers up to 900mm, about 55% of the
cost is the overall tunnelling and jacking cost while 22% is the cost of Jacking Pipe and
23% is for the cost of constructing jacking and receiving shafts.
8.11.3 Microtunnelling and Pipejacking Rates (Smaller Dia from 300 to 1000mm)
The rates for microtunnelling and pipejacking for smaller diameter sewer installations
from 300mm to 1000mm have been worked out based on rates used in Singapore and
Maharashtra State. Rates have also been worked out rates based on the procedure out
lined above. Figure 8.24 shows the resulting cost curves. The corresponding trend lines
for each rate graphs are also plotted in the graph. Based on the graphs (except the cost
of constructing manhole) the sewer installation costs by microtunnelling and pipejacking
method for 300mm dia sewer are Rs 45,000 and Rs 49,000 and Rs 56,000 respectively
for 375 and 450mm dia sewers.
Figure 8.24: Microtunnelling Cost Curves for Sewer Diameters from 250 to 1000mm
The jacking pipe used in sewer installation by microtunnelling and pipe jacking methods
is a well-engineered high strength pipe regardless of whether it is an RC Pipe or Vitrified
Clay Pipe or pipe of any other materials. Built in stainless steel collars are used for
joining the pipes and a rubber ring seal is provided at the joint which offers high water
tightness to the sewer line. The pipe body and the joint are designed to last more than
50 years.
The sewer joints are extremely water tight and unlikely to leak in grounds with high water
table. The sewer could easily last for more than 50 years without leakage and infiltration
because of the stainless steel collar and the way the rubber ring is inserted during the
jacking operation. This is a significant advantage in the sewers installed by
microtunnelling method against the conventional sewers which are designed for a life
span of 30 years and often prone to leak through the joints.
The enhanced life span shall be taken into consideration when comparing the cost of
sewers installed by microtunnelling and conventional open trench method.
The sewer along Maitri Vihar Road is crossing a raised land formation (a ridge)
stretching for about 600m. The sewer is deep as it crosses the crest of the raised land
and the maximum depth of sewer at the crest is about 8m. It is not only expensive to
construct the deep sewer, especially in hard soil strata comprising laterite, but also will
cause disruptions to traffic along Maitri Vihar Road.
The alternative option to the deep gravity sewer is to construct a pump house and a
pumping main to pump the sewage across the ridge to the ridge manhole. The
construction of a pump house and pumping main is undesirable as it will entail
operational and maintenance cost throughout the life span and thus an uneconomical
option in the longer term.
Their location, diameter, length maximum depth of sewer crossings are described
below:
About 41m of the 250mm dia sewer from ND 145 to ND 183 and 360m of 300mm sewer
from ND 183 to ND 194. and 39m of 300mm sewer from ND 206 to ND 208. Total 440m
is nominated for construction by trenchless technology. The depth of sewer at ND 145 is
about 5.9m. There after the sewer depth gradually increases to about 6.4 at ND 145 and
ND146 where it makes a right angle turn and runs along Maitri Vihar Road. The sewer
reaches a peak depth of about 7.25m at the crest of the ridge at ND 187. The depth
thereafter reduces and at ND 197 the depth is only about 4.06m. The Figure 8.25 shows
the layout details of the sewer.
The construction of this gravity sewer eliminates the need to have a pumping station
near ND 146 and a pumping main fromND183 to ND 194 to pump the sewage across
the ridge.
Based on the available bore log data for Bhubaneswar, the strata is expected to be
either laterite or sandstone. Construction of the sewer at 5m to 8m depth by open trench
method in soil stratum comprising DI sand stone / Sand stone / DI laterite sand stone is
not only costly but also technically undesirable in a busy road like Maitri Vihar Road.
Thus it is propose to construct this stretch by trenchless technology. The same is
depicted in Figure 8.25.

8.13 Trenchless Sewer Crossing across Railways, Roads and Canals (19 Nos)
Amongst the 19 crossings, four (4) crossings are across railways track and fourteen (14)
are across roads and one (1) is for canal crossing. Details of all crossings are tabulated
below and their locations are shown in Figure 8.26.

Total: - 1558.5 m
8.14 Utility crossing of Railway shall be laid within a Casing Pipe (Two Pipe System)
To meet the railway authority’s requirement to install the sewer within a casing pipe, it
is proposed to install UPVC spiral wound non structural liner pipe (see Annex A for
description on spiral wound liner pipe) as a carrier pipe within the RC casing pipe of
diameters 1100mm and 1400mm.
The thickness of the spiral wound non structural liner pipe may not exceed 30mm and
hence the inside diameter of the 1100mm and 1400mm diameter RC casing pipe would
be reduced to 1040mm and 1340mm respectively. The entire external loads such as
traffic load, overburden and hydraulic loads, etc will be carried by the casing pipe so that
the spiral wound liner pipe will be free from any external loadings.
As the spiral wound liner pipe offers lesser friction to flows than RC pipes, the overall
hydraulic capacities of the 1040mm and 1340mm diameter UPVC spiral wound liner pipe
(carrier pipe) will be not less than the hydraulic capacities of the 1100mm and 1400mm
dia RC sewer.
This technique of installing UPVC spiral wound liner pipe as a carrier pipe within an RC
jacking pipe has been used in India’s first micro tunnelling project implemented by the
Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai in 2001 to overcome the railway authority’s
requirement to install the carrier pipe within a casing pipe.
The spiral wound liner pipes are now commonly adopted for trenchless rehabilitation of
deteriorated sewers. Delhi Jal Board and Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai
have already used the liner pipe to rehabilitate similar size RC sewers. The maximum
reduction in the cross-sectional area of the sewer as a result of installing the liner pipe is
restricted up to 10% to ensure that the hydraulic capacity of the original sewer is not
compromised with. The proposed installation of UPVC spiral wound liner pipe for the
railway crossing of 1200mm and 1400mm dia sewer will be well within the 10% limit on
the cross sectional area reduction.
As for the 400mm sewer crossing, it is proposed to install an casing pipe ( RC Pipe) of
diameter to 450mm so that when the spiral wound liner pipe is installed within the pipe,
the inside diameter of the lined casing pipe would be close to proposed sewer size of
450mm.
Installation of UPVC spiral wound liner pipe should not be expensive and a cost
provision of Rs 10,000 per metre for 1100mm and 1400mm dia UPVC liner is considered
reasonable for initial estimate purposes.
Summary of trenchless sewers in terms of diameters and the lengths is tabulated in the
following table. Altogether 1815m of trenchless Sewers to be installed including 440m of
trenchless sewer along the road at Maitri Vihar. The diameters are 150mm, 200mm,
250mm, 300mm, 400mm, 450mm, 600mm, 700mm, 800mm, 1100mm, 1400mm and
1800mm.
In order to economise the micro tunnelling cost and to standardise the size of micro
tunnelling equipment, the contractors may opt to upsize some of the sewers to the next
highest size.
The ground water level as indicated in bore logs is at higher depths in the project area.
Only at 28 places out of 70 locations water table was encountered within the drilling
depth. The water table in these locations varies from 1.00m to 8.5m below ground level
and is reflected in Table 8.11.
The soil strata are predominantly rock strata and are dominated by laterite with iron or
sand stone. In some areas silty sand, clay silt and poorly graded sand are found. The
detail soil strata are reflected in table 8.11.
Thus, most of the trenchless sewers are likely to be installed within soil strata comprising
laterite with iron or sandstone or hard clay or poor ground sand. In average in Zone- 1a
57% ATS and 43% HR, in Zone- 2 43% ATS and 57% HR and in Zone- 3 50% ATS and
50% HR is faced. For Estimate purpose for Zone- 1a ATS 50% and HR 50%, for Zone- 2
ATS 40% and HR 60% and Zone- 3 50% ATS and 50% HR is considered. (Ref. Table-
8.10)
As discussed, the soil strata to be encountered are laterite / sandstone or hard clay,
almost in all the locations where the trenchless sewer installation is proposed. Micro
tunnelling in this type of soil strata is not difficult as long as the right TBM selected,
based on the characteristics of the rock, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) in
particular. Based on the site inspection of the rock sample from the bore log, it is
considered that the UCS may not exceed 10Mpa.

Chapter 9
9. Pumping Station Design Criteria
9.1 General
The basic design of the pumping station will focus on the use of centrifugal Non-Clog
pumps for Sewage Pumping Station. The pumps will be mounted on stainless steel
guide rails with above grade hoist system to facilitate easy removal of the pump for
maintenance, repair or replacement. An above grade Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)
cabinet mounted on concrete pad with Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and a
pressure transducer in the wet well or manhole Pumping Stations will be used to control
the operation of each pump. Typical operation will be a lead-lag operation for a two
pump system. The PLC will require pump-on at high level and pump-off at low level with
the VFD speeding up or slowing down to maintain a relatively constant wet well level and
flow while the pump is required to operate. The goal will be to prevent frequent on/off
operation of the submersible pump to minimize pulsating or widely varying flow rates,
protect the submersible pumps from overheating and damage with frequent start/stop
cycles and minimize required storage volume of the wet well.
Another option for pumping station design is to provide a dry well and wet well
combination with the pumps located in an adjacent dry well or above grade in a building
structure. The major advantage of the dry well option is easy access for pump Visual
inspection and maintenance. However, the cost of this type of pumping station is more
expensive and requires additional support facilities such as ventilation, lighting and dry
well sump with sump pump for a dry well or an above grade building structure to house
pump motors. Pumping stations in SD VI, Bhubaneswar will be limited to the use of
submersible pumps to help minimize capital cost of construction since submersible
pumps are durable, reliable and requires lower maintenance than larger centrifugal
pumps.
Pumping stations with more than two pumps for parallel operation will include additional
programming to require the 2nd, 3rd or 4th pump to turn on based on wet well level with
start/stop elevations set for each pump. Programming will also include a short delay to
start or stop the pump once the PLC signal is received by the pump. In addition to the
pressure transducer, the wet well should be equipped with backup high level and low
level floats to make sure that operation of the pumps will continue in a constant speed
mode if the pressure transducer were to fail. If the pressure transducer fails, the PLC
programming automatically reduces the pump speed to a preset speed and the pumps
temporarily operate as constant speed pumps until the pressure transducer can be
replaced.
Design capacity of the pumping stations will be based on 15-year projected wastewater
flows per population projections and distribution for the area served by the individual
pumping station. The specific pumping station capacities are described in the next
Chapter. Each pumping station will be required to handle initial and 15-year peak
hour/instantaneous wastewater flows based on the capacity of each pump and volume
of the wet well in order to prevent backing of sewage up into the inlet sewer. The number
of pumps, replacement with larger pumps and number of future pumps will largely be
determined based on the projected wastewater flow range to be handled by the pumping
station. The preliminary approach will be to provide the following minimum number of
pumps for each type of pumping station:
Submersible pumps
The typical approach for the MHPS will be to provide two pumps with one pump as
standby. This type of pumping station will be used for isolated outlying areas that
require pumping for a limited area with little or no future development potential. This
type of pumping station is expected to be limited to a maximum pumping capacity of
approximately 20 – 30 liters per second.
The SLS will be equipped with 1-2 pumps and one standby. The number of pumps
will largely depend upon the projected range of wastewater flows to be handled from
initial design flow rates to projected design flow rates in 15 years. If projected flow
rates have a relatively narrow range of flow between initial design flow rates and
projected design flow rates then a single pump may be able to cover the range of
flow with one standby. If the projected flow rates have a wider range for a particular
SLS then it is expected that two pumps will be required with one standby.
Also, for a three pump option the SLS may not need to be equipped with the third
pump until development actually occurs and the flow rates increase to where a third
pump is required. The design of the SLS will also need to consider the potential for
future development which will help to determine if a 2-pump or 3-pump installation is
required. This type of pumping station is to have all pumps with the same capacity
and is expected to have a maximum pumping capacity of approximately 100 – 130
liters per second.
The LLS will be the larger pumping station that typically directly feed the sewage
treatment plants. This type of pumping station will include more than three pumps
and will most likely include pumps with different pumping capacities to transfer the
wide range of initial and projected wastewater flows anticipated at the sewage
treatment plant. The number and capacity of the pumps ultimately depends upon the
design capacity of the sewage treatment plant and the potential for future
development. This type of pumping station will most likely require different capacity
pumps for pumping station capacities more than 130 liters per second in order to
handle the wide range of flow that is pumped to sewage treatment plants.
The design parameter of the pumping station to consider is the capacity or volume of
the wet well. The wet well design will need to handle any combination of inflow and
pumping. Per the CPHEEO Manual, the cycle of operation for each pump is not to
be less than five minutes and the maximum detention time in the wet well should not
exceed 30 minutes during normal operation. However, during night time flows when
the flow is low, the time to fill the wet well will most likely be longer than 30 minutes.
For this and other reasons stated above, VFDs will be used to provide greater
flexibility and a wider range of pumping flow rates to better match the inflow.
The volume of the wet well will be less critical with the use of VFDs. However, the
size of the wet well will still need to accommodate the initial number of pumps to be
installed as well as the potential replacement with larger pumps in the future and/or
provide space for additional future pumps.
It has been proposed to have a main PS at Gadakana which will receive the total
Sewage collected from entire Sewerage District VI, Bhubaneswar. From the Main
Pumping Station the sewerage will be pumped to inlet chamber of STP at Rokat,
near Rajdhani Engineering College, It has been proposed to provide dry well and wet
well (rectangular) with horizontal non clog centrifugal pumps. The capacity of the
sump has been kept for 96 MLD considering 30 min retention periods.
Accordingly it has been proposed to install for the present flow three numbers of
pumps running with one standby. Space has been provided for installation of another
pump to meet future requirement. The detail calculation has been provided in
hydraulic design table.
9.4 Appurtenances
In addition to the above design criteria, each pumping station will be equipped with a
single magnetic flow meter and each pump will have an isolation plug valve and sewage
check valve on the delivery side of each pump. Access to the flow meter and valves will
be required for routine inspection, calibration and maintenance. The flow meter and
valves will be installed below grade concrete vault for the MHPS and SLS. The vault will
be equipped with ventilation and lighting for access into the vault. The LLS will be
constructed with a building structure over the wet well and the flow meter and valves
installed above grade for access. The VFDs for the LLS pumps and other miscellaneous
electrical panels will also be installed above grade within the building structure for
protection from the weather and for access. A manually operated sluice gate will be
installed on the inlet to the manhole to allow the wet well to be temporarily isolated from
the collection system for inspection, maintenance and cleaning as required.
A new electrical service with transformer along with an electrical meter will be required
for each pumping station. The transformer and meter will be mounted on a concrete pad
next to the VFD cabinet and electrical gear will be secured within a gated fenced area.
The secondary feed will be extended underground to the valve vault and then sub fed to
the pumps in the wet well. A diesel electrical generator will be provided for the larger
capacity SLS and LLS and for other pumping stations located in areas where there is a
history of unreliable electrical service. In general, the smaller capacity MHPS will be
evaluated on a case by case basis as for the need of an electrical generator. MHPS
without a generator will be constructed with an emergency overflow into an adjacent
secondary drain or temporary storage.
9.6 Transformer
The size of the transformer (KVA rating) and size of the electrical generator will be
determined based on the total connected load of the pumping station. The rated voltage
of the pump motors will be 415 volt ±6%, 50 Hz, 3-phase. The submersible pump motors
and factory connected cable will be hermetically sealed and suitable for submerged
service and operated in an explosive atmosphere.
As previously stated, the design of the pumping stations will consider the use of
alternative pumping equipment such as: non-clog submersible “grinder” pumps, non-clog
submersible pumps with separate inlet grinder or non-clog submersible pumps with
screw type impeller. The use of specialty pumping and grinding equipment is
recommended for the smaller capacity pumping stations to eliminate the need for
manually cleaned bar screens. Elimination of manually cleaned bar screens as the
primary means of screening wastewater will improve operation and maintenance, safety
and will increase the reliability of the pumping station. Access to deep channels and wet
wells for maintenance and cleaning will not be required. As an option to manually
cleaned screens, the use of deep channel mechanically cleaned (raked) screen is an
option. The use of this type of mechanically cleaned screen is better suited for the larger
capacity (main) pumping stations and will allow the use of more conventional non-clog
submersible pumps for the larger capacity pumps.

10. Pumping Stations and Rising Mains
10.1 Pumping Stations and Rising Mains
The pumping stations and rising mains were designed in conformance with the criteria
outlined in Chapters 6 and 9 including one existing Pumping Station, there will be a total
of 19 pumping stations in Sewerage District VI, Bhubaneswar, with associated rising
mains, as summarized in Table 10.1 and shown in Figure 10.1. The existing Pumping
Station will be renovated, linked with the new system and rest 18 will be of new
construction. Of the 18 new Pumping Stations, one is Main Pumping Station, 4 are Lift
stations and 13 are Manhole Pumping stations. The pumps of the Main Pumping Station
(MPS) will be Centrifugal non-clog Sewage Pumps and all other pumps will be of non-
clog submersible type. The plans for Main Pumping Station, Lift Station and Manhole
Pumping Stations are depicted in Figures 10.1a to 10.1e.
Tables 10.2 though 10.7 provide the hydraulic characteristics of the pumping stations
along with the size of the wet wells and pumping characteristics. These Tables also
show the size and hydraulic characteristics of the rising mains. Once the pumps and
rising mains were sized valves and thrust blocks were sized and located along the rising
mains as necessary. These are shown in the Plans and Profiles of the rising mains as
shown in figures 10.2 to 10.20. The typical rising main is located in the roadway on the
right side in the direction of flow at a minimum depth of 1 meter.
The pumps and rising mains are of sizes within the design criteria previously mentioned.
In general the key criteria included keeping the peak velocities below 1.8 m/sec for 2030
flows while maintaining a maximum Total Dynamic Head (TDH) of less than 30 meters.
Velocities were allowed up to 3 m/sec for 2045 flows where the TDH is acceptable. The
higher velocities in the future years are allowed per CPHEEO guidelines and are
considered the most appropriate design for the following reasons.
2. Increased HP requirements for smaller diameter rising mains should have minimal
impact because peak discharge flows are expected to occur for a 3-4 hour period
during the day and only toward the end of the design period.
3. Pumping stations will be equipped with VFDs which will allow programming of
periodic flushing velocities for initial peak discharge flows and minimize start/stop of
the pumps with better wet well level control as wet well levels slowly increase and
decrease as pump speed is automatically adjusted by the PLC.
4. The capital costs for the rising mains will be kept at a minimum.
In order to pick the most economically rising main several pipe sizes were picked within
the design ranges noted above. For each size the capital and O&M costs were
developed and the Present Worth value was calculated for a 15 year design life. This
essentially trades off the pipe size (larger pipe larger capital cost) with the operating cost
in terms of energy to drive the pumps (larger pipe lower head and lower energy costs).
The most economical rising main size is represented by the lowers Present Worth value.
The cost calculations are included in Table 10.8 A to 10.8 E.
The rising mains will be constructed of ductile iron pipe inside lined with cement mortar
using sulphate resistant Portland cement, outside coated with zinc and a bituminous
painting over it and will be laid at a minimum depth of 1m over a sand bed of 150mm
thick. The rising mains will include thrust blocks air release valves at high points and
blow-off valves at low points. Rising main from the main pump station will discharge the
sewage to the Sewage Treatment Plant, whereas the Rising mains from Lift Stations will
discharge Sewage either to another Lift Station or to Manhole and a Manhole Pump
Station will transfer Sewage to the next Manhole at a ridge point. The Manhole receiving
Sewage from a Lift Station or Manhole Pump Station shall be called as Transitional
Manhole and the invert of outlet pipe will be kept at a depth of 25mm, higher than the
crown of incoming rising main in order to ensure full flow in rising mains.
Details of cross section of rising main and appurtenances are depicted in Figures 10.21
to 10.27. Thrust Block Calculations are included in Tables 10.9 A, B & C.
Chapter 11
11. STP Process Selection Analysis
11.1 Background
Prior to the initiation of the SAPROF report the OWSSB had prepared a Detailed Project
Report (DPR, June 2007) concerning this work and, among other items, analyzed
several sewage treatment processes for plants that ranged from 10 MLD to 70 MLD. The
DPR proposed activated sludge process for plants greater than 10 MLD and extended
aeration for smaller plants below 10 MLD. The SAPROF report also analyzed several
processes for implementation in Odisha and concurred with the DPR. Their
recommendation was based on capital cost low operation and maintenance cost, low
power cost and good track records of these processes.
The population of India is likely to reach 1.7 billion people by 2050. Based on this
projected population the wastewater generation will be approximately 132,000 MLD. As
minimum dry weather flows in rivers decrease due to additional water demand for
various purposes, the wastewater generation in urban centres will further adversely
affect downstream water quality. Considering this growth scenario, there is a need to
attain a high level of sewage treatment in each city.
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has carried out a series of studies on
performance of Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) in different parts of the country to
evaluate their performance. The findings reveal that the majority of the treatment plants
serving medium-sized cities are based on:
• Primary Settling followed by Activated Sludge Process (PS+ASP) technology (with
anaerobic digesters for sludge treatment)
• Oxidation Pond or Waste Stabilization Pond(OP or WSP) technology; and
• UASB followed by Final Polishing Unit (UASB+FPU) technology.
Table 11.1 shows some of the recent plants constructed in Delhi based on ASP technology.
Notes:
• Rithala STP. The high load process prevents incidental nitrification in summers thus consistently
meeting BOD/TSS guarantees. Power generation at 27,000 KWH/d was guaranteed by contract.
• Nilothi STP. The plant will produce energy from anaerobic digestion.
The project requirements for the selection of the treatment process include:
• Compliance with discharge standards
• Operational reliability
• Proven track record
• Best life-cycle cost
• Ability to supplement the plant energy demand
11.3.1 Compliance With Discharge Standards
Sewage treatment plants must produce an effluent that protects the environment and
meets regulatory requirements. The effluent in this project will be discharged to drainage
canals or nallahs ultimately to rivers, or use for agricultural irrigation.
The standard established for Odisha is Class C, which is for drinking water source with
conventional treatment. The numerical standards for discharge to Class C waters are as
follows:
The business model anticipated for the project is turnkey or Design-Build-Operate, with a
multi-year contract for plant operation. The contractor will be required to provide a
performance and cost guarantee for the operations period, but eventually the plant
operation will be turned over to the Municipal Corporations of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack,
respectively. For this reason it is important that the technology selected be easy to
operate and troubleshoot, and provide reliability under a wide range of operational
conditions.
All treatment options have operational risks. Tried and tested processes enjoy the
advantage of world-wide knowledge and experience, with much training and information
available to operators. Innovative processes improve efficiencies or widen the range of
applications but they may also introduce operational uncertainties. Processes that have
only been in operation for a limited time are more suitable for communities where
technical expertise and resources are readily available. Given the expected capabilities
of the local labour force, the Odisha project requires that proven technology be used in
the plant design.
Life-cycle costs will be used as an indicator of best value for the process. The analysis
requires that capital and operational costs are considered. The analysis requires
knowledge of availability of land and cost, construction cost, and operational inputs, such
as manpower, energy, chemicals, and repair costs.
One of the most challenging aspects of a wastewater treatment system design is the
analysis and selection of the treatment process and technologies capable of meeting the
project requirements.
The process will be selected based on compliance with discharge standards as stated
above. While costs are important, other factors will be given due consideration. For
instance, effluent quality, process complexity, process reliability, environmental issues
and land requirements should be evaluated and weighted along with cost considerations
as summarized in Table 11.2.
Consideration
Goal
experience with the Jaipur STP and Rithala STP seem to suggest that the expected
amount of energy generated by the anaerobic digesters is in the order of 60 to 85
percent of the plant needs.
A side benefit of producing energy is that the Government of India will be able to sell
carbon credits in the world market. Carbon credits are pollution equivalencies that some
industrialized countries buy to offset their own emissions. Carbon credit is generated by
converting the methane produced in the plant to carbon dioxide, via power generation. It
may be noted with interest that Governments of Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh have
carbon credit units of 4,44,000 and 16,20,000 units respectively till 2012 from methane
gas.
• Screening
• Degritting
• Primary Clarifier
• Aeration Tank
• Secondary Clarifier
• Sludge Recirculation
• Sludge Thickening
• Anaerobic Sludge Digestion
• Sludge Dewatering
• Gas Holder
• Gas Engine for Power Generation
About 35% of the organic load is intercepted in the primary clarifier in the form of sludge,
decreasing the loading in the aeration tank. Detention period in the aeration tank is
maintained between 4-6 hours. After aeration tank, the mixed liquor is sent to the
secondary clarification where sludge and liquid are separated. A major portion of the
sludge is re-circulated and excess sludge is wasted to a digester.
Sludge generated in the primary clarifier and excess sludge from the activated sludge
requires digestion for multiple reasons; pathogen reduction, volume reduction and
biogas generation. The digestion also improves de-waterability of the sludge.
Primary sludge contains high volatile solids and secondary sludge contains a lesser
amount. In anaerobic sludge digestion, such sludge produces biogas with typically high
calorific value of 5,000 Kcal/m3 of gas, depending on the raw sewage strength. This
biogas is used for power generation by gas engines. Generated power can be used for
operation of the plant. It may meet 60 - 80% of the power required for running the entire
sewage treatment plant under favourable climatic condition for anaerobic digestion.
b. Aerated Lagoon
Aerated lagoons are completely mixed aerobic biological reactor without recycling.
Lagoons are normally earthen basin where air is supplied for biological activity. Overflow
of aerated lagoon is either sent to a sedimentation basin or clarifier. Mean cell residence
time is maintained at 3 to 6 days. Depth of aerated lagoon is generally maintained 3 to
3.5 Meter.
Since lagoons are quite big with hydraulic detention time is 3 to 4 days, they require a
very large area. Operation of the plant is simple but power consumption is high to
maintain the Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids (MLSS) in suspended solids.
c. Extended Aeration
• Screening
• Degritting
• Aeration Tank
• Clarifier
• Sludge Recirculation System
• Sludge Drying Bed / Sludge Dewatering System
Extended aeration process is simple to operate. It is a proven process to produce
treated effluent with BOD and TSS less than 30 mg/l, and often below 20 mg/l.
Since there is no primary clarifier, the entire BOD load goes to the aeration tank. Oxygen
/ air requirement is higher than with primary clarifiers.
The Moving Bed Bio Reactor is an aerobic attached biological growth process. It does
not require a primary clarifier. The raw sewage, after screening and degritting, is fed to
the biological reactor. It comprises of the following unit operations:
• Screening
• Degritting
• Moving Bed Reactor
• Clarifier
• Sludge Dewatering
Since it is an attached growth process, sludge recirculation to the reactor is not required.
In the reactor, floating plastic media is provided which remains in suspension. Biological
mass is generated on the surface of the media. Attached biological mass consume
organic matter for their metabolism. Excess biological mass leaves the surface of the
media and is settled in the clarifier.
Moving Bed Reactor needs less space since there is no primary clarifier and detention
periods are generally 4-5 hours.
Moving Bed Reactors were initially used for small sewage and effluent treatment plants
in the range of 1 to 5 MLD because of less space requirement. This process was not
successful at higher capacities. In large plant, media quantity is high and requires long
shut down period for the plant. Moreover the plastic media is patented and not available
in the open market, leading to single supplier conditions which limit price competition.
The Sequential Batch Reactor is an aerobic process where raw sewage is treated in
batches. After screening and degritting, sewage is fed to the batch reactor. Reactor
operations take place in sequence. In one cycle biological processes and sedimentation
takes place in the following steps.
• Filling tank
• Aeration
• Settling
• Decantation
• Sludge withdrawal
For continuous treatment of sewage a number of reactors are installed and synchronized
so that different activities take place in different reactors so that sewage can be treated
continuously. In this process some nitrification may takes place, where excess oxygen is
available.
Since all unit operations take place in one tank without separate clarifiers, a smaller foot
print is required.
Power requirements are high, since the process includes larger electrical equipment;
blower, pumps and chemical feeders. A number of large scale plants exist around the
world with several years of continuous operation. In India there are large plants
operating efficiently for more than a year. This technology was started in smaller plants
with controlled and skilled operation and maintenance.
f. UASB
UASB process is an Up-flow Anaerobic Blanket Process wherein the organic matter is
digested, absorbed, adsorbed and metabolized into bacteria cell mass and bio-gas. The
UASB process is a combination of physical and biological. Main feature of the physical
process is separation of solids and gases from the liquid and of the biological process is
degradation of decomposable organic matter under anaerobic conditions. The bio-gas
generated can be utilized for generation of electricity. Sludge cakes after dewatering and
drying on sludge drying beds are suitable to be used on field as manure. The UASB
system also does not require any other external energy and require very less
mechanical equipment.
However adequate pose treatment is always required to polish the UASB effluent to
meet standards. UASB reactor can bring down the BOD and TSS of the domestic
wastewater up to 65-75% and 70-85% respectively. Therefore post treatment in form of
final polishing unit is always required. Even after the post treatment with final polishing
unit (FPU), it is difficult to achieve the desired effluent standards. Fecal coli forms
removal varies from 1-2 log units.
In waste stabilization ponds sewage is treated in a series of earthen ponds. Initially after
screening and degritting it is fed to an anaerobic pond for pretreatment. Depths of
anaerobic ponds are usually 3 to 3.5 m and as a result the lower sections of the ponds
do not get oxygen and an anaerobic condition is developed. BOD reduction takes place
by anaerobic metabolism and gases like phenols and methane is produced creating
odour problems. After reduction of BOD by 40% it enters the aerobic pond, which is
normally 1.0 m to 1.5 m in depth. Lesser depth allows continuous oxygen diffusion from
atmosphere. In addition, algae in the pond also produce oxygen.
Although BOD at the outlet remains below 30 mg/l, the effluent can have a green colour
due to presence of algae. The algae growth can contribute to the deterioration of
effluent quality (higher total suspended solids).
The operating cost of a waste stabilization pond is low, mostly related to the cost of
cleaning the pond once in two to three years.
Waste stabilization ponds require large land areas and they are normally used for small
capacity plant, especially where open land is available.
h. Wetland Construction
Wetlands are natural processes similar to stabilization ponds. After degritting, sewage is
fed to the wetland. Wetlands are shallow ponds comprising submerged plants and
floating islands of marshy species. Thick mats of vegetation trap suspend solids and
biological processes take place at the roots of the plants. Wetlands produce the desired
quality of treated sewage but the land requirement is high. Running costs are
comparatively low.
In some cases there is regular tree cutting and planting as a part of maintenance work. A
common type of wetland uses a plant called duckweed for treatment. This weed has a
fast metabolic rate and absorbs pollutants very quickly.
The different processes are subjected to a qualitative analysis as a first step to find
those that will meet the project requirements. Table 11.3 shows advantages and
disadvantages of the technologies under consideration.
Process
Advantages Disadvantages
• Process flexibility
Activated • Reliable operation
• Higher energy costs (offset by some gas

Lagoons • Simple to operate • High area requirements
• No energy production

The processes were subject to various factors reflecting the project requirements. Table
11.4 shows the non-financial project requirements and assigns a simple “Yes” or “No” to
compliance. The “No” findings are shaded for ease of identification.
Acceptable Effluent Quality considers the ability of the process to consistently achieve
the required discharge quality. Natural processes like waste stabilization lagoons and
wetlands have an important seasonal variability in the effluent quality due to natural
processes. As a result they re-stabilize slowly after an operational upset.
Operational Reliability considers the ease with which the operator can affect changes in
the plant and get predictable results. It also addresses the ability of the process to work
as designed on a consistent basis, when properly operated.
Proven Record is a variable that captures the differences in the real world between
design and performance. All processes work on a theoretical basis but when faced with
implementation factors some prove less adequate than others in delivering the expected
performance. This category is important because it compiles the industry experience
under a multitude of conditions and applications.
Key parameters were evaluated and weighed as shown in the Table 11.5 to reach a final
recommendation on the preferred treatment process.
The matrix attributes were ranked as Very Good, Good, Average, or poor recognizing
that differences between processes are relative, and often, the result of commonly
accepted observations by industry experts.
The column entitled “Typical Capacity Range” is added to illustrate the range in which
the processes are usually found and it should not be construed as showing technological
limitations, nor to affirm that plants outside that range do not exist. The ranges simply
indicate most frequently found sizes.

Based on evaluation of the decision matrix and discussions above, it is concluded that
the original technologies selected for OWSSB should be implemented. They are
activated sludge over 10 MLD and extended aeration for plants up to 10 MLD. The main
attributes are costs, proven track records, ease of operation and maintenance, power
consideration and land requirements.
11.9 Recommendations
On the basis of the preceding evaluation, the PMC recommends the activated sludge
process be used for Odisha treatment plants above 10 MLD. For smaller facilities,
extended aeration is recommended.
• Aerated Lagoon is not an attractive process because it requires a large area and has
high operating expenses related to maintaining the required mixing in the lagoons.
• Moving Bed Bioreactor is a process that has not been proven in large scale and
much is unknown about future operational cost.
• UASB plus FPU is a technology which has not been functioning properly in India,
despite its popularity.
• Waste Stabilization Lagoons and Wetlands are rejected because they require large
areas and are not controllable processes with reliable effluent quality.
• Sequencial Batrch Reactors are rejected because of high energy consumption,
limited energy production capability and need for skilled operators.

12. Treatment Plant Design
12.1 Treatment Plant Sizing and Phasing
This Chapter describes the size and phasing of the treatment plant proposed in
Bhubaneswar District VI. The size is based on the population projections previously
discussed and the construction of the treatment plants is in two phases to full
capacity.
The recommended treatment plant sizes are also compared to those proposed in the
SAPROF Report and in the Minutes of Discussion.
The treatment plant size is selected based on projected wastewater flows. In order to
develop wastewater flows from the population projections the following criteria were
used.
• A per capita wastewater flow of 120 liter per capita per day (LPCD).
• A base population in Bhubaneswar increased by 5% to account for the floating
population.
• The estimated percentage of the population that will be connected to the sewer
system is 100% as per CPHEEO manual.
• The wastewater contribution from urban industries has been included in the per
capita allowance of 120 lpcd. Industries with significant process wastewater flow
will either treat the waste and discharge it separately or apply for a connection to
the sewer system after appropriate pre-treatment and evaluation of the impact of
the flow and load on the sewerage system by OWSSB / PHEO.
• An allocation for infiltration the same as in SAPROF
Table 12.1 compares the estimated flows with the wastewater flows presented in the
SAPROF / MOD.

The differences in the flows are mainly due to the different population projections as shown in Table 12.1A the total flow in Bhubaneswar increases due to the
higher projected population. For the Phase 1 construction to meet 2021 flows one treatment plant will be constructed of 4 equal treatment trains of 12 MLD each.
This will be done to allow for flexibility to treat lower initial flows. For future expansion, 1 train of 12 MLD will be added to meet the intermediate design period
(2025). Additional 3 trains od 12 MLD each will be added in future phases to meet the Design Build Period (2045).
1. Concrete dimensions of the primary settling tank will be the same for each
treatment train: The scraper mechanism will be fabricated with the same
diameter. The overflow weirs will be constructed to match the same dimensions.
2. The solids transfer pumps will be provided with the same number, capacity and
HP.
3. Concrete dimensions of the bioreactor will be the same: The non-aerated
volume and the aerated volume will be the same for each treatment train.
4. The mixers will be provided with the same HP to provide the same maximum
mixing energy.
5. The aeration system piping diameter and diffuser layout will be the same for
each aerated portion of the bioreactor.
6. The internal recycle pumps will be provided with the same number, capacity and
HP.
7. The gates and valves will have the same dimensions and diameter for each
bioreactor.
8. The aeration requirements and capacity of the blowers will remain the same for
each treatment train with the number of blowers adjusted to meet maximum air
requirements.
9. Concrete dimensions of the secondary settling tank will be the same for each
treatment train: The scraper mechanism will be fabricated with the same
diameter. The effluent weirs will be constructed to match the same dimensions.
10. The return activated sludge pumps will be provided with the same number,
capacity and HP per treatment train.
11. The waste activated sludge pumps will be provided with the same number,
capacity and HP per treatment train.
12. The piping and valves for each treatment train process will have the same
diameter.
13. Distribution boxes can be designed and constructed with the same dimensions,
channel widths and gates.
14. Overall, OWSSB should realize an economy of scale and lower cost per
treatment train. Instead of the Contractor constructing 4 treatment trains at 12.0
MLD, the Contractor will be constructing 7 treatment trains at 12.0 MLD. The
design, manufacture and construction will be more efficient because each
specific component will be the same size and will be duplicated for each
treatment train.
12.2.1 Background
This Chapter describes the treatment plant design parameters and the preliminary
design for the treatment plant in Bhubaneswar. As previously described the plant
will be for 48 MLD expandable to 90 MLD. The plant will be conventional activated
sludge with anaerobic digestion and the ability to add on energy generation with
sludge gasses. The raw sewage characteristics for which the Plant is designed and
the effluent standards are given in Tables 12.2 and 12.3.
The following provides a general description of the treatment process shown in the
process flow schematic, site layout plans and hydraulic profiles in Figures 12.1,
12.2, and 12.3 and in the design criteria Table 12.4.
The proposed sewage treatment plant for each site, in general, shall be comprised
of the following units:
1. Inlet chamber and distribution box/channel.
2. Screen channels, mechanically cleaned fine screens.
3. Grit chambers with grit removal equipment and classifiers.
4. Parshall flumes.
5. Distribution box to primary sedimentation and plant By-Pass.
6. Primary settling tanks with equipment.
7. Distribution box to bioreactors.
Raw sewage from pumping station(s) will enter into the inlet chamber to break any
turbulence. The inlet chamber of the Plant shall be designed and constructed at a
suitable location inside the plot. The inlet chamber shall be provided with cast iron
sluice gates and suitable arrangement of walkway with handrail preferably
connecting the inlet chamber, screen channels and de-gritting system.
From the inlet chamber the flow will be equally distributed to multiple screening
channels through a common distribution channel. In each stream there will be one
screen channel and grit chamber. All the units up to the grit chamber will be
designed based on peak flow.
12.2.4 Screening
The screenings will be transferred into an odour tight container for transport to the
landfill off–site. The Contractor shall dispose of screenings safely during operation
and maintenance period of the Plant suitably to a nearby municipal solid waste
disposal facility.
From the screen channels, the raw sewage will enter into grit chambers. These grit
chambers will remove grit comprising of sand, cinders or other heavy solid
materials. The deposited grit will be removed from the chambers by appropriate and
efficient removing mechanism. Grit removal shall be accompanied with a grit
classifier and grit washing system to ensure it is free from organic matter before
disposal.
The screened sewage shall flow to degritting systems comprising square type
detritus tanks of reinforced concrete construction. Grit shall be collected and
transferred to a classifier to separate the wastewater from the grit. The grit shall be
washed and suitably dewatered and discharged into a sealed odour -tight container
system. The degritted sewage shall be conveyed to downstream Parshall flumes
and distribution box through conveying channels. The overflow weirs will be a series
of 90o V-notches made from stainless steel
Parshall flumes downstream of each grit chamber structure shall be required where
an ultrasonic flow meter will be installed for measuring the total flow of raw sewage
entering the site.
From the Parshall flumes, the flow will enter a distribution box with a common
channel and separate chambers, one for each primary settling tank. The flow from
the flumes will be conveyed to a dedicated central feed primary settling tank through
channels or pipes. Isolation weir gates shall be required at the outlet of each
chamber to control and/or isolate flow to any one of the primary settling tanks. The
distribution box shall be designed to allow flow to be diverted to the other primary
settling tanks with isolation weir gates connected to the common channel.
A Plant by-pass will be required from the common channel of the distribution box to
the plant discharge point. A manually operated sluice gate(s) shall be provided for
isolation of the Plant by-pass when not required. The Plant by-pass shall be
provided where shown on the Process Flow Schematic Drawing.
In the primary settling tanks, suspended solids will be settled and the BOD will be
reduced. Appropriate detention times listed in the design criteria shall be required
for settling of suspended solids. The primary sludge formed in the sedimentation
tanks is withdrawn by gravity to the primary sludge sumps where it will be pumped
to the thickeners.
The settling tanks shall be circular radial flow type. The settling tanks shall have a
sloping bottom with central hopper. The settling tanks shall be equipped with
scraper arm and fixed bridge. Settled sewage from the primary sedimentation tank
will gravitate to the bioreactor. Overflow from the settling tanks will flow over an
adjustable V-notch weir and flow by gravity through the perimeter collection channel
and piping to the bioreactors. The overflow weir will be a series of 90o V-notches
made from stainless steel. Overflow of the settling tanks will go to a distribution box
before the bioreactor tanks.
From each primary settling tank, the flow will enter a distribution box with separate
chambers, one for each bioreactor. The flow from each primary settling tank will be
conveyed to a dedicated bioreactor through piping. Isolation weir gates shall be
required at the outlet of each chamber to control and/or isolate flow to any one of
the bioreactors. The distribution box shall be designed to allow flow from a specific
primary settling tank to be diverted to the other bioreactors with the installation of
additional isolation weir gates connected to a common channel.
The Biological Reactors (Bioreactors) tanks shall be set up in the Modified Lutzak-
Ettinger (MLE) configuration with an anoxic zone preceding an aerobic zone. The
tanks shall be designed for respective modular tank capacity. The Bioreactors shall
be provided with fine bubbled diffused air aeration system to supply oxygen in the
mixed liquor of the bioreactors for biological growth and nitrification. The design and
selection of aeration equipment and process shall be done in such a way that all
MLSS (completely mixed liquor suspended solids) remain in total suspension and to
maintain DO in liquor with a range of 0.5 to 1.0 mg/l. The bioreactors shall be design
to have an un-aerated fraction to allow partial denitrifcation to occur. An anoxic
selector shall be required to minimise the effect of preferential growth conditions for
filamentous aerobic bacteria.
The DO shall be controlled by using air pressure, DO and air-flow rate to minimise
the energy consumption. If DO is higher any time the aeration system can be
stopped for short period to save energy. Baffle wall before the outlet launder of
aeration tank shall be required to prevent carryover of foam. Adjustable weir gates
shall also be required to adjust the TWL in each bioreactor.
The flow shall enter the anoxic tank over an inlet weir, and similarly enter the
aerobic tank over a weir. After aeration, flow shall discharge over an outlet weir,
with recirculation pumping supplied. Recirculation pumping capacity shall be
available for two times the average flow rate or greater.
From the outlet weir, the mixed liquor shall flow into outlet channels or piping from
where it shall flow through a distribution box to the secondary settling tanks. The
portion of activated sludge to be returned at the inlet(s) of the bioreactor tank(s)
shall flow through a ductile iron pumping main provided with an electromagnetic flow
meter. The return sludge arrangement shall ensure thorough mixing with the inflow
into the bioreactor(s).
Mixers shall be included in each anoxic zone. The aeration system shall be EPDM
rubber fine bubble diffused aeration system. Suitable platforms shall be constructed
on columns and beams and shall be approachable by walkway protected by hand
railing.
The aeration blowers may be high speed turbo, single stage or multi-stage
centrifugal units. Positive displacement blowers fabricated with low-noise screw
compressor technology are also acceptable. Blowers must be controlled by a
manufacturer provided system using real-time mixed liquor dissolved oxygen, air-
flow and blower discharge pressure characteristics to control the blower inlet
volume. On start up the system must be controlled to ensure sequential starting of
the equipment to attain higher load on the system after start-up.
From each bioreactor, the flow will enter into a distribution box with separate
chambers for each secondary settling tank. The flow from a bioreactor will be
conveyed to a dedicated secondary settling tank through piping. Isolation weir gates
shall be required at the outlet of each chamber to control and/or isolate flow to any
one of the secondary settling tanks. The distribution box shall be designed to allow
flow from a specific bioreactor to be diverted to the other secondary settling tanks
with the installation of additional isolation weir gates connected to a common
channel.
From the distribution box the mixed liquor will flow by gravity to central feed
secondary settling tanks. The entry of mixed liquor shall be from the bottom centre
column. The secondary settling tanks shall be circular radial flow type. Each settling
tank shall be constructed with fixed bridge and rotating scraper with a central drive.
An adjustable overflow V-notched weir plate shall be required along the periphery of
the launder. The overflow weirs will be a series of 90o V-notches made from
stainless steel.
Each secondary settling tank shall be equipped with flocculating centre well to
enhance suspended solids capture. The settling tanks shall have a sloping bottom
with central hopper. The flow shall be received from the Bioreactor by means of DIP
laid under the floor of the tank up to the central pier of the settling tank to a stilling
well. The central stilling well must be no less than 20% of the diameter of the tank
and 55% of the side water depth. The well shall extend 100 mm above maximum
sewage level and will be designed to prevent short-circuiting. The design of the inlet
stilling wells must be based on flocculation of the incoming sludge. The design of
stilling wells shall have an internal mixing zone around the central feed pipe and a
larger flocculation zone before settling into the sludge blanket.
The sludge settled at the bottom of a settling tank shall be collected by means of
rotating scraper mechanism in a sump constructed near the bottom of the settling
tank hopper. The sludge from the sump shall be withdrawn through DIP pipe having
a diameter of not less than 300mm. This pipeline shall directly couple to the
recycled Activated Sludge Pumps, which shall be located central to the settling
tanks. The sludge shall be recycled to the bioreactor(s) distribution box by pumping
at a measured flow rate. The excess sludge shall be controlled by wasting to the
sludge thickener.
A surface scum removal mechanism to remove floating sludge / oil & grease shall
also be provided. A scum board of GRP shall also be provided 200 mm away from
the overflow weir.
The full width bridge shall provide access to the centre of the settling tank. The
overflow from the settling tanks shall be conveyed to a sampling chamber and
thereafter to the chlorine contact tank through channels or piping.
Chlorine feed and storage facilities shall be sized to provide a maximum dosage
rate of 8 ppm at peak flow. Chlorine storage shall be provided with all required
safety measures. The chlorination system shall be designed with a high degree of
operational safety as it is highly toxic substance that potentially poses health risks to
the Plant operators and produces obnoxious odours. Also residual chlorine is toxic
to the aquatic life.
The settled sludge from the secondary settling tanks shall be directly coupled to the
return activated sludge pumps, which will pump the quantity of activated sludge to
the bioreactors. Solids retention time controller shall be utilised to control the daily
withdrawal of mixed liquor, which will be pumped to the primary settling tank
distribution box.
The gravity thickeners shall receive primary and secondary sludge and scum.
Thickening is done to reduce the volume of sludge before feeding the anaerobic
digesters. Excess sludge from the biological treatment units shall normally have a
consistency of 1 % and sludge consistency from primary sedimentation remains
within the range of 2 to 3 %. The combined sludge pumped from the primary sludge
pump house shall be distributed equally between the thickeners to achieve the
desired sludge consistency of 4.5 to 5.5% for digestion. The thickened sludge shall
be withdrawn directly from the sludge hoppers and pumped to the digesters.
There will be circular gravity thickeners. Both primary sludge and excess sludge that
was co-settled in the primary sedimentation tanks will be directly coupled from the
sedimentation tank hopper and pumped to the thickeners and will be fed to an
adjacent chamber of the thickeners. Sludge will be fed from the top to the central
drum of the thickener by gravity. There will be fixed bridge and rotating scraper
mechanism. The sludge will be settled and pumped at the bottom to the digesters.
The gravity thickener decant will overflow into an effluent launder and from there by
gravity to a decant sump. From the decant sump, decant will be pumped back to the
distribution box of the primary sedimentation tanks.
The scum concentrator shall be located in the gravity thickener pump house. The
scum concentrator will separate excess water from scum collected from the primary
settling tanks and gravity thickeners. The scum concentrator will need to include leg
extensions, platform, decant tank, scum collector mechanism and drive, scum
storage tank with level switches, control panel and other necessary appurtenances.
A decant tank will be equipped with a scum collector mechanism to scrape the scum
to a scum storage tank. The receiving scum shall be concentrated to approximately
10% solids. The scum will be pumped to the anaerobic digesters. The decant from
the scum concentrator will discharge by gravity into the decant sump for the gravity
thickeners and be pumped back to the distribution box of the primary sedimentation
tanks.
The thickened sludge shall be further treated in the anaerobic digesters. Preferably
the digestion process shall be single-stage-high rate digestion including the heating,
auxiliary mixing, uniform feeding, and thickening of the sludge. The sludge shall be
thoroughly mixed by mechanical means with pumped circulation system.
Combined sludge and scum from the primary and secondary sedimentation contains
high volatile suspended solids VSS, which is to be stabilized before disposal. This
VSS will be reduced in anaerobic sludge digesters operating under mesophilic
conditions. These digesters will have RCC/MS fixed or floating domes (lined with a
2–mm hypalon liner). The dome of the digester shall be designed for the full
hydraulic capacity and the dome of the digesters shall be designed for 200 mm
water column pressure and 80 mm vacuum condition. Pressure reducer with
vacuum breaking valve and flame arrestors shall be required on the dome of
anaerobic digesters.
Thickened sludge will be pumped into sludge digesters wherein continuous pump
recirculation/mixing shall be done to stimulate anaerobic sludge digestion. Due to
digestion, biogas will be generated which has high calorific value due to methane
content in the range of 58-65%. It is proposed that power generation be undertaken
in the future. Design of the anaerobic digester shall allow approximately one meter
height of the digester to remain filled with gas. This gas will be burned and used for
future power generation.
Gas will be withdrawn from the top and it will be sent to gas holders for future power
generation or burned. Complete pumping/mixing system will be required to provide
jetting action inside the digester for complete turbulence and mixing. It is observed
that performance of digestion process and generation of gas is optimum at a
temperature of 350C and above. Hence a portion of the sludge will be withdrawn by
pump and it will be passed through concentric tube type heat exchanger to reheat
the sludge to maintain the digestion temperature. The sludge will flow over the tubes
of the heat exchanger and hot water will be circulated inside the tubes.
For future power generation, hot water will be generated by the power generation
unit. The excess heat of flue gas from the power generation unit will be utilized for
heating water. In this way excess heat of gas engine will be utilized for supplying
heat in the anaerobic digester to utilize and take care of the available heat in the
surrounding atmosphere.
The generated biogas in the anaerobic digesters shall be used for future power
generation by gas engines or micro-turbines. Since the production and quality of gas
varies with sewage flow rate, sewage strength and ambient conditions it is
necessary to operate the Plant for a number of years to determine the methane
content. The design of the future power generation system will be based on
historical methane content that is to be monitored and tested by the Contractor.
Storage of biogas shall be required and accomplished by either gas holders or, if
floating digester covers are provided, be contained within the floating cover of the
anaerobic digester. The usable storage volume in the gas-holder must be no less
than 50% of the anticipated average daily gas production.
Typical gas holder cups shall be of RCC construction and gas bell shall be of MS
construction. Gas holder cup shall remain filled with water through which the bell will
move according to the flow of gas. The design of bells shall be for 200 mm water
pressure and 80 mm vacuum. Pressure release with vacuum breaker valve shall be
required on the top of gasholder to prevent excess pressure or vacuum condition
inside the gasholder. On a guide channel limit switch shall be required to prevent
the movement of bell above preset level and also to signal that gas holder is full.
Roller shall be required at the side of the gasholder, which will move through the
guide channel.
A gas flow meter approved by the Engineer for measuring gas shall be provided and
installed in the digester control room. The gas flow meter shall be electrical
transmitting type, ring balancing with transmitter, indicator and integrator, recorder
all complete.
A gas flaring system with appropriate safety devices shall be provided with capacity
to burn gas at a rate equal to 150% of average daily gas production. A minimum of
two gas flares shall be required to burn the excess daily gas produced. Fencing
shall be required around the perimeter of the gas burner area.
Digested sludge from anaerobic digesters shall have normal consistency of 6 to 7%.
The digested sludge shall be dewatered by belt-filter press equipment and addition
of polymer. In order to dry this sludge, sludge from digesters shall be pumped to the
belt-filter press. Filtrate from the belt-filter press shall flow by gravity to a filtrate
sump. The filtrate will be pumped back to the distribution box of the bioreactors. The
dewatering equipment will be installed in a building as described below. Facilities for
adding polymer to aid dewatering shall be included in consultation with appropriate
chemical suppliers. Installation of a standby belt-filter press shall be required.
The treated effluent overflow from the secondary sedimentation shall be conveyed
to the chlorine contact tank and the final disposal point above the normal high water
level of the nala or river flowing adjacent to the property boundary.
The generator fuel supply capacity is bases on stated maximum utility supply
interruption of 3 hours per day.
The PICS shall include continuous process variable transmitters that measure
process flow, tank level and other equipment protection devices. These
measurements shall be connected to a network of Programmable Logic Control
(PLC) based unit process controllers that will generate pre-programmed monitoring
and control actions for process, equipment and other control devices.
A Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, networked to the PLC
unit process controllers shall acquire, display, monitor and issue remote control
actions for maintaining process control. The SCADA system shall also archive pre-

13. Environmental Management Plan
13.1 Environmental Assessment Requirement of the Project
Special Assistance for Project Formation – 1 (SAPROF) Report did a very thorough
and comprehensive analysis of the existing environmental issues and the
clearances required for the Project. According to the SAPROF, the Environment
Protection Act and the Water Act, this Project do not require Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) being a Category-B project. However, an Initial Environmental
Examination (IEE) is being carried out to help provide information for the
Environmental Management Plan (EMP).
The area in Bhubaneswar for this project is Sewerage District VI in the northern
portion of the City, north of National Highway NH-5.
General: Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha, forms a Golden Triangle with the
famous sun temple in Konarak and Lord Jagannath temple in Puri. The city was
built over a plateau, situated along the western fringe of the mid-coastal plain, at an
elevation of 45m above mean sea level. The growth of Bhubaneswar is very rapid
because of it is the State Capital and an important tourist destination.

wastewater is being discharged into the storm drains creating odour problems,
deteriorated living conditions and a degraded environment2.
Due to the existence of reserve forests and the flood plains in the eastern side, the
growth of the city has been hampered. The development of colonies by private
builders in the suburbs is taking place in an unorganized manner, without having the
infrastructure, as it should be of a well planned capital. The city was originally
planned in rectangular shape on an iron-grid pattern growing outwardly. Now the
city is growing along the main highway largely in the north, northeast and southwest
directions.
Literally speaking, Bhubaneswar has two faces - the ‘new capital’ on the western
side of the railway line and ‘the old town’ on the eastern side of the railway line.

Since the project area is highly urbanized, presence of desirable aquatic life, other
than some species of scavenger fish or snakes, is highly unlikely in the water bodies
which are clogged with sewage and garbage. There are three “nala” systems or
natural drains in the Project Area - District –VI - into which all the treated and
untreated effluent from the housing colonies and industrial estates are discharged.
These nala systems sometimes are quite wide, form small water bodies, and are
mostly full of plantation which grows on water.
The banks of these nalas and the water bodies are mostly full of garbage. Although
there is a system of garbage collection by the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation
(BMC), it seems the nature of people to dump their garbage in the nearest possible
place – they even throw their garbage, wet or dry, from their windows to the street.
There is a reserve forest in the west of the district, just bordering the district and
sometimes elephants, from the Elephant Sanctuary which is fairly close, temporarily
escape to,. The city continues on the southern border, on the east it is River
Kuakhai and on the north it is the agricultural and rural land. A few water buffalos
and cattle could be seen on the streets but they seem to be domesticated and can
hardly be called wildlife. Some stray dogs were also seen on the streets and they
were all covered with dry sewage from going into these drains.
In some low lying places the waste water from the nalas even overflowed and the
road there got water-logged. It appears that there are no fisheries, rare or
endangered species, protected areas or coastal resources in the project district in
Bhubaneswar District VI.
Land Use: Predominant land use within the Project Area is residential with some
commercial, business, industrial, and institutional. As previously said, all the treated
and untreated effluent from the housing colonies, industrial estates and institutional
areas in the District VI are discharged into the open nala system increasing its
pollution load. But with the installation of the new sewerage it could be expected
that all would be hooked up to that system thus reducing the pollution load on the
nalas.
Industries: There is a large scale industry in the Project Area - the Coach and
Wagon Workshop of the Indian Railways in Mancheswar. There are also some
small scale industries in the Project Area. Their treated effluent now goes into the
nala system. With the installation of the new sewerage it could be expected that
these industries, including the Coach and Wagon Workshop, would be hooked up to
that system, with acceptable level of pollutants in their effluent thus reducing the
pollution load on the nalas.
Water Supply: Water from both surface and ground water sources are drawn for
Bhubaneswar City Water Supply. The major quantity is from surface water sources
and drawn from three rivers namely Mahanadi, Kuakhai and Daya. Untreated
Sewage generated from the city is discharged to Gangua Nallah which is ultimately
mix with river Daya near village Kakudia away from Bhubaneswar city .The waste
water discharge point being sufficiently away downstream. It is not affecting the
water supply system of Bhubaneswar city. However it is creating problem for the
downstream riparian.
The Sewage generated from District VI will be treated in the sewage treatment plant
and the treated efficient will be discharged through Budi nallah to Gangua nallah
and ultimately discharged to Daya river at the same discharged point.
Since the river will receive treated sewage effluent in place of untreated sewage, the
pollution load on river Daya will be reduced which will be beneficial to downstream
riparian.
Ground water aquifers also contribute to the water supply. However, most of the
present and future water in the Project Area is provided by Odisha Public Health
Engineering Organization (PHEO) who also maintains the water supply system.
Some people, of suburban and rural areas, use ground water sources from dug
wells, hand pumps, short borings, ponds, lakes etc. in the nearby areas. In some of
these areas, suburban and rural, safe drinking water is also very scarce. A few
places in the Sewerage District VI (VSS Nagar, Sailashree Vihar, Niladri Vihar) have
local contamination problems and the water quality is not satisfactory3.
Water consumption data has been analysed in the Technical Memorandum 4 which
recommended using 120 LPCD.

Sewerage and Drainage: As has been mentioned earlier the sewage, treated and
untreated, goes into the nala system in the Project Area. A portion of the sewage
from RHS colony used to be collected in a sump from where it was pumped to an
aerated lagoon at VIP colony where it was supposed to be treated, polished and the
effluent discharged to a nala. But it never worked. The aeration pond as well as the
polishing lagoon, both is overgrown with vegetation. The sides of these ponds are
full of garbage as well. It smells terrible there because of septic sewage.
Almost the whole Project area is drained into the three nalas which are really
overloaded with pollutants and flow. The open storm drain in the Project area also
is discharged to the nala systems. These open drains are not cleaned regularly and
are full of garbage and dry leaves. That is why they overflow from time to time.
With the installation of the new sewerage it could be expected that all the current
polluters would be hooked up to that system thus reducing the pollution load and the
flow on the nallahs. But the municipality really has to keep the open drains clean to
have the drains more effective during storms. At many places people have filled the
road side drains to approach their residences. As a result the rainwater flows on
roads and damage the roads. Hence the BMC should be strict and should clean the
roadside drains to allow free flow of rainwater.
Transportation: Along the southern border of the Project Area (Sewerage District
VI) runs one of the country’s main national highways – NH-5 (Kolkata to Chennai)
and a little bit of NH-203 (Cuttack to Puri). Most of the development in Bhubaneswar
is taking place along these highways. Along NH-5, which is the busiest road and
have the heaviest traffic throughout the day and in the evenings, will be one of the
Project’s trunk sewer alignments? There is another main and busy road which
crosses the NH-5 from one end of IRC Village, i.e. Jaydev Vihar Chowk, and goes
to Shikhar Chandi Housing Colony. The roads in the Project District are fairly new
and with all the development in the area is now discharging their sewage either raw
or from the septic tank systems to the nalas thus increasing the flow, during
monsoon, and the pollution load on these nalas. These will be serviced under the
Project either by hooking up the existing effluent discharges or any new connections
to the sewer system thus reducing the flow and the pollution loads in the nalahs.
The main line of the East Coast Railways from Howrah to Chennai goes through the
Project District. Other than the air pollution from the engines there is no significant
pollution from these train tracks.
There are 4 natural drains and two nalas (Gangua and Budhi) in the Project Area,
but none of them are navigable and no water transportation that is significant.
Electricity: Bhubaneswar has reasonably good power supply from 33 KV grid Sub-
Stations at Mancheswar, Chandaka and Ranasinghpur. Since the power supply is
sometimes interrupted, these establishments have installed alternative power supply
(e.g. inverters or diesel generators). In the Project District, there is no pollution from
the residential area because they are mostly fitted with inverters. But the
commercial and institutional areas, where alternative power supply is diesel
generator, the air and noise pollution loads are significant, when these generators
are running.
There are two power transmission lines which go through the Project District. These
lines go through their own right of ways which is totally vacant.
The proposed project would influence the environment in two distinct phases:
i. During the construction phase which would be temporary and short term;
ii. During the operation phase which would have long term effects.
Checklist of potential environmental impacts of the project is presented in Table 13.4
and the impacts are discussed in the following sections.
Although the sewerage system will need regular maintenance when it is operating,
with precautions, this can be conducted without major environmental impacts (see
below). There are therefore several environmental sectors which should be
unaffected once the system begins to function. These are identified below, with an
explanation of the reasoning in each case. These factors are thus screened out of
the impact assessment and will not be mentioned any further.
Field Rationale
Climate, topography, There are no known instances where the operation
geology, seismology of a relatively small sewerage system has affected
these factors
Fisheries & aquatic The local fishery in the rivers will not be impared
biology
Wildlife, forests, rare There are no desirable wildlife, forests, rare species
species, protected areas and protected areas within the project sites, so none
of these are going to be affected

The construction phase impacts are those caused by site clearing, earthworks,
machinery and workers. These impacts include erosion, dust, noise, traffic congestion
and waste production.
During the construction phase there would be some temporary impact on air, noise and
water quality, and management of solid waste. Also there would be some temporary
impact on quality of life due to inconvenience caused to public as a result of construction
activities.
Air quality impacts are likely from general construction activities including land clearing,
trenching, lying of pipes, construction of foundations and superstructures, handling and
transportation of construction and demolition materials, and from wind erosion of open
sites and stock pile areas.
Noise pollution will occur from operation of construction equipment including earth
moving and material handling equipment.
Water quality impacts may occur from runoff and waste and sewage generated from
construction activities.
Within the road, in which the sewer lines and pumping stations will be constructed in
Bhubaneswar, it is unlikely that trees will need to be removed as a result of the
construction. There may also be some structures on the right of way (ROW). Design of
the proposed sewerage will ensure that these encroachments are bypassed or removed
for providing the required clearance.
It is also unlikely that the sewerage -sites in Bhubaneswar will have big trees to be cut.
However, if there is any, the design of these structures will avoid cutting big trees that
may be in all the sites. Again, there may be some structures at these sites which have
to be demolished. However, the design of the proposed sewerage will ensure as little
demolition as possible.
The project would require disposal of excavated surplus materials which will include road
crust, precipitate removed from cleaning of open channels and drains, excavated soil
and silt removed from desilting of existing pipes. Disposal of excavated surplus soil,
roads crust, and precipitate from drainage channels and drains will not pose any
problem – they can be taken to the solid waste disposal site. However, disposal of silt
will require adequate protection, particularly, for the workers who will handle it.
There will be traffic congestion on the roads during the construction phase. In the narrow
sections of road construction activities may cause traffic disruption. This traffic
congestion will occur mostly in busiest road crossings.
Some inconvenience to public will result from restricted access to buildings and
structures and temporary dislocation of civic amenities like water supply, drainage and
sewerage, electricity, telephone and cable TV connection due to relocation or
replacement of these facilities.
Traffic dislocation, lack of access to buildings and air and noise pollution caused by
construction activities could have some adverse impact on trade and commerce in the
service area. Proper management may reduce these problems to a large extent.
Following are the measures which are recommended for mitigating or minimising the
environmental impacts that are likely to occur during the construction phase of the
proposed project. The contractor, under supervision and direction of the PMC, shall
adopt these mitigation measures.
1. Construction will be scheduled so that large areas of soil are not laid bare during
the monsoon. As the soil is of sandy nature, sliding of earth in deep trenches will
be common. Hence shoring and shuttering will be provided.
2. Ground disturbances will be phased so that it is limited to workable size.
3. Exposed surface will be resurfaced and stabilised as soon as possible.
4. Trenches will have adequate backfill to prevent subsequent street settlement.
Upon completion of backfill the road surface shall be restored to its original
condition.
1. Construction vehicles will be properly maintained and will have valid certificate of
pollution under control.
2. Noisy construction activities will be carried out during normal working hours and
local residents will be advised of any unusual or unavoidable noise.
1. Utility services such as telephone line, electric poles, and water lines etc. that will
be affected by project construction will be identified. These should be made good
at least to the condition before the contraction begins as soon as possible.
2. Concerned authorities will be informed and their assistance sought to remove,
relocate and restore services of these utilities.
3. As far as possible, it will be ensured that these utilities are not damaged due to
construction activities.
Dust and noise producing activities such as stone crushing, bitumen and cement
batching plant etc. will be preferably located downwind and away from habitation
settlement wherever feasible.
De-watering during trenching and water testing of new lines will be regulated in a
manner so that it does not lead to water logging of the nearby area.
BMC in coordination with PMC, will prepare a traffic management plan for approval of
Bhubaneswar Police. The plan will include:
All necessary precautions will be taken to prevent accidents and/or damage to property.
Measures taken by the contractor will include but not limited to:
1. Occupational and health and safety requirements for workforce will be adhered to.
2. Periodic health check up of workers will be provided
3. A physician’s services will be retained to handle emergencies.
4. Workers engaged in cleaning of sewer lines will be trained in health and safety
procedures and will be provided with proper protective cover including gumboots,
rubber gloves and gas masks.
1. Camps / compounds will be located so that they do not interfere with the existing
sewerage / drainage systems.
2. Camps / compounds will be contained by surrounding the site with a bund or earth
mound with controlled sewerage and drainage outlets.
3. Campsites will have adequate provision of shelter, water supply, excreta and solid
waste management as far as practicable.
4. Construction work-site will be properly barricaded and have adequate provision of
drinking water, toilets (at least `Barapalli Latrines` or `Leach pits`) and dispensing
of first aid.
5. Appropriate control measures will be taken to prevent insect/vector diseases
especially malaria by measures such as spraying and/or preventing creation of
stagnant pool of water.
Routing of the Bhubaneswar sewerage will avoid impacting trees to the extent feasible.
Prior approval of the Forest Department of the Government of Odisha will be obtained
where trees have to be felled for laying the pipes.
During the operation phase the environmental impacts are likely to be positive. These
positive impacts have been discussed in a following section of this report. However,
there could be some adverse impacts due to inadequate operation and maintenance or
control.
Lack of proper operation and maintenance of the system could cause over flow of
sewage and water logging during rainy season, which would be a nuisance and health
hazard to public.
Due to lack of control, there may be discharge of hazardous industrial effluents into the
sewer system, or solid wastes in the drains or canals which can damage the sewerage
or drainage systems, clog them or interfere with the downstream treatment process or
pass through the treatment plant and cause damage to the environment.
The Operators of the STPs and PSs will be contracted for 7 years. However, after
Operation and Maintenance period, it will be taken over by the Govt.
A separate sewer system has been proposed for Bhubaneswar (Sewerage District VI). It
is likely that some silting will occur in the sewers and to alleviate the siltation problem. It
would be necessary for BMC to undertake continual routine maintenance of the system
by cleaning and/or flushing the sewers. Periodic preventive maintenance carried out by
BMC would prevent flooding or water logging caused by clogged nallahs.
Monitoring activities carried out by Odisha State Pollution Control Board will ensure that
untreated effluent from industry is not discharged into the proposed sewerage.
BMC will ensure that the proper health and safety precautions are adhered to during
sewer cleaning operation.
Improvement in sewerage as a result of this project would minimise water logging and/or
flooding in the service area and ensure better sanitation practices. Since the exits to the
septic tanks or individual institutional sewage treatment plants will be connected to the
sewer system, the unorganized drains from septic tanks to open surface drains will be
minimised. Incorporation of new sewer systems will help eliminate some of the surface
drains which will automatically abate the associated nuisance.
Improvement of water-logging condition and better sanitation practices would lead to:
1. Abatement of nuisance and public health hazard in the service area. Improved sanitary
conditions would result in reduction in incidence of parasitic infections, hepatitis and
various gastrointestinal diseases including cholera and typhoid which occur either
through direct contact with fecal material or contamination of water supply and food.
2. Fewer incidence of illness would lead to reduction in health care expenditure and lost
workdays.
3. Accelerate economic growth as a result of improved quality of life within the service
area.
A significant population of the service area who are poor and live in slums would benefit
the most from the proposed project as they suffer the most when there is flooding and/or
water logging in the service area. Other benefits of the project would include:
The matrix of environmental impacts, as shown below in Table 13.6, was developed
from examination of potential environmental impacts and mitigation measures discussed
in Section 13.2.
As evidenced from the matrix, the project is not expected to cause any long term
irreversible environmental impact. Most of the environmental impacts that are likely will
occur for a short duration during the construction phase of the project. Adequate
preventive measures have been incorporated to mitigate or minimise these impacts.
The project, upon completion, would have several positive impacts, most significant of
which being reduction of public health hazard as result of improved drainage and
sewerage conditions in the service area. In consideration of the above and according to
the State Pollution Control Board of Odisha, a detailed EIA is not warranted and this IEE
may be considered as the final environmental assessment of the project.

The adverse environmental impacts will mainly be related to construction work. The
required mitigation measures are standard and widely used in construction practices
properly supervised for achievement of international standards of quality. The specific
measures that shall be put to practice to minimize the impact on the environment are
discussed below.
13.10.1 General
Prevention program to avoid undue disruption: There will undoubtedly be some short-
term inconvenience and traffic disruption. The Contractor is to give traffic management
due consideration. To avoid undue inconvenience, the construction program would
include the following in the contract with contractors:
• Specify the work implementation sequence for pipeline laying and/or rehabilitation,
such that local inconvenience is avoided to the maximum extent feasible;
• Specify the coordination measures for water service interruption, such that cut-off
periods are reduced to the minimum possible;
• Specify the method of construction in highly congested areas to minimize access
disruption, such as trench-to-truck construction and provision of plates to provide
access over trenches. Proper access to daily businesses will be maintained to the
maximum extent practicable ways;
• Require the contractor to secure approval of construction staging and lay down
areas; and
• Require the contractor to use traffic routing for implementation of construction
works. Safe traffic and safety signals and lighting should be in accordance with local
regulations. Safe detours and walkways for pedestrians will be implemented as
necessary.
Measures to minimize noise and vibration: During construction, noise can be minimized
through scheduling and specific restrictions for particularly noisy activities. To the extent
possible, excavation and related works in residential areas should not be undertaken
from sundown to sunrise. Routine control on maintenance of equipment used for
construction and transportation will be required to ensure reasonable noise levels. In
built up areas, excessive vibration from heavy machines during construction will be
avoided to the extent possible to reduce any damages to the surrounding areas. Manual
excavation will be adopted in certain cases.
should be carried out according to the safety equipment rules, and health and safety
regulations. Safety measures will be adopted to protect the personnel involved in the
works. Public access to construction sites will be properly restricted. Internationally
accepted practices and active regulations should be employed regarding restoration of
construction health and safety.
Supplementary measures:
• Wood used during construction will be procured from authorized sources;
• Solid waste (other than demolition and excavation debris) such as wood, paper,
glass, plastic and trash in general, will be properly collected, separated, stored, and
disposed; and
• Construction sites will be kept clean and in good sanitary condition.
Protection of air environment from construction dust and pollution: The contractor will
employ dust suppression measures during the construction process and transportation
of materials, such as periodically sprinkling water in certain areas and removal of excess
materials from the sites. Street surfaces, sidewalks, and construction sites will be
cleaned upon completion of activities each day. To reduce vehicle emissions the
contractor will use traffic routing. Also it will be required to provide routine control on
maintenance of equipment used for construction and transportation of materials, and to
use the equipment only when required. Plant and machinery used in the project should
have air pollution control system; wherever possible and entire operation shall be
mechanized to complete the work in shortest duration and in one go. The permission of
the Odisha State Environment Pollution Control Board shall be taken as relevant.
Protection of environment from visual pollution and pollution due to operational odour:
One Conventional Activated Sludge Sewage Treatment Plant in Bhubaneswar is being
provided as per details in the DPR to manage odour pollution from the sewage
generated from the cities. However, there is an engineering institution at about 100
meters from the STP in Bhubaneswar; to reduce the visual impact, plantation within the
STP site would be necessary. This plantation will also act as buffers against the plant
noise and odour. In Bhubaneswar STP, some odour control equipment will be put in to
reduce the odour. Steps shall be taken to reduce the impact of noise by introducing
plantations from the very beginning. Therefore, plantation should be planned in the
STP site to improve the ambient air quality, in general.
Noise pollution by stand-by generators: The standby generator shall be installed with
enclosures as per guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board and after taking consent
from Odisha State Pollution Control Board under Air (Prevention and Control of
Pollution) Act 1981. The Contractor shall not, however, be allowed to install generators
in such a manner as to act as a public nuisance.
Desirable air quality standard: The air quality standards as prescribed by the OSPCB are
as follows, in micrograms per cubic meter (24 hourly ranges), and that should be
maintained:
SPM = 200
RSPM = 100
SO2 = 80
NOx = 80
pH = 6.5 – 8.5
DO = 4 mg/l or above (Dissolved Oxygen)
BOD5 = 30 mg/l or less (5-day Biological Oxygen Demand)
TC = 5000 MPN/100 ml (Total Coliform)
Control of fuels and oils: Aboveground storage tanks and drums will be stored on low
permeability bases able to contain 110% of the stored volume. Proper measures will be
taken to prevent spillage during equipment maintenance activities. Pouring fuels or oils
into soils or drains will be prohibited. Active environmental requirements on the subject
will be followed as to the treatment and disposal of residues.
Provision of drainage: Natural waterways/drainage pattern shall be maintained by
providing culverts where needed.
Disposal of demolition and excavation debris: The current construction norms and
regulations require proper measures for the removal of demolition debris from the sites.
This material will be removed from the site and will be disposed of at an approved
location. Salvaged material will be stored at a designated location and protected from
erosion. The debris and unutilized construction material and earth from the construction
site shall be removed immediately to recycle within the project so that no nuisance dust
is generated due to wind.
Disposal of sludge: Sludge, which will be generated from the STP, should not be
disposed of in permeable soils or in the proximity of surface waters or buildings.
Protection of erosion: To avoid erosion of the top soil the construction is planned in the
shortest possible time and land clearing activity shall be kept to the absolute minimum
by working at the specific sites one by one where construction is to take place so as to
increase detention and infiltration.
The orientations of the STP and the Pumping Stations are planned to maximum extent,
wherever possible, to make use of natural light and direction of sun. The land use is so
planned that there is minimum adverse impact and maximum use of principles of eco
design. A fundamental principle of solar design is to maximize the solar gain in the
winter and minimize it in the summer and is used to the extent possible practically. The
Operators and the Owners shall have awareness programmes in this regard to maximize
the benefits of working with the sun.
The main objective of the green belt is to provide a barrier between the source of
pollution and the surrounding areas. The green belt helps to capture the fugitive
emission and to attenuate the noise generated apart from improving the aesthetics.
Development of green belt and other forms of greenery shall also prevent soil erosion
and washing away of topsoil besides helping in stabilizing the functional ecosystem and
further to make the climate more conducive and to restore water balance. While making
choice of plant species for cultivation in green belts, weight and age has to be given
priority to the natural factor of bio-climate. It is also presumed that the selected plants
will be grown as per normal horticultural (or forestry) practice and authorities responsible
for plantation will also make sure that adequate provision for watering and protection of
the saplings exists at site.
• Plants grow under conditions of adequate nutritional supply (for heath and vigour
of growth),
• Absence of water stress (to maintain openness of stomata apertures and form of
epidermal structures),
• Plants are well exposed to atmospheric conditions of light and breeze (i.e. away
from engineering structures hindering free flow of air) to maintain free interaction
with gases.
• Tolerance towards pollutants in question, at concentrations, that are not too high
to be instantaneously lethal),
• Longer duration of foliage,
• Freely exposed foliage, through
- Adequate height of crown,
- Openness of foliage in canopy,
- Big leaves (long and broad laminar surface),
- Large number of stomata apertures
- Stomata well- exposed (in level will the general epidermal surface).
The landscaping and green belt will be designed and trees will be planted in open areas,
around the STP along the boundary.
• To verify the results of the impact on the environment with respect to the proposed
projects.
• To study the trend of concentrated values of the parameters, which have been
identified as critical and then planning the mitigating measures.
• To check and assess the efficacy of pollution control equipment.
• To ensure that any additional parameters, other than those identified in the impact,
do not turn critical after the commissioning of proposed project.
A comprehensive environmental monitoring program that has been prepared for the
purpose of implementation by the EMC is described below:
• The Ambient Air quality shall be monitored at 5 locations in project site along the
sewer line once every quarter for RSPM, SPM, NOx & SO2, and CO levels during
the Construction Phase and Operational Phase. The Ambient Noise Levels shall
also be monitored in these locations once every six months.
• Groundwater quality of the tube wells in site area will be regularly monitored
preferably once in a quarter during the Construction Phase and Operational Phase.
• The Sewage Treatment Plant shall be provided with a small Laboratory and weekly
monitoring of the parameters including the effluent quality from the STPs shall be
undertaken. In addition monitoring shall be got done from an independent agency as
laid down by Odisha State Pollution Control Board.
The above observations will be complied and documented by the EMC to serve the
following purposes.

14. Social Assessment of the Project
14.1 Introduction
The objectives of the JICA guidelines are to encourage Project proponents etc. to have
appropriate consideration for social impacts, as well as to ensure that JICA’s support for
an examination of social considerations are conducted accordingly.
In principle, JICA confirms that projects meet the requirements for environmental and
social considerations stated in the Guidelines in the following ways.
• JICA confirms that projects comply with the laws or standards related to the
environment and local communities in the central and local governments of host
countries; it also states that projects conform to those governments policies and
plans on the environment and local communities.
• JICA confirms that projects do not deviate significantly from the World Bank’s
Safeguard Policies, and refers as a benchmark to the standards of international
financial organizations; to internationally recognized standards, or international
standards, treaties, and declarations, etc.; and to the good practices etc. of
developed nations including Japan, when appropriate. When JICA recognizes that
laws and regulations related to the environmental and social considerations of the
project are significantly inferior to the aforementioned standards and good practices,
It encourages project proponents, including local governments, to take more
appropriate steps through a series of dialogues, in which JICA clarifies the
background of and reasons for the inferior regulations and takes measures to
mitigate the adverse impacts when necessary.
• JICA takes note of the importance of good governance surrounding projects in order
that measures for appropriate environmental and social considerations are
implemented.
• JICA discloses information with reference to the relevant laws of project proponents
etc. and of the government of Japan.
The Government of India has recently (October 2007) formulated the National
Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) Policy. It covers rehabilitation and resettlement
of displaced persons in all cases of land acquisition and in involuntary displacement due
to other causes. The main objectives of the policy are:
- To facilitate harmonious relationship between the body which acquires land and the
affected families through mutual cooperation.
It lays down basic minimum R&R package though requiring bodies or States are free to
offer better terms for R&R. The Government of Odisha has enacted an elaborate policy
on rehabilitation and resettlement. The policy is applicable to all those projects which
require acquisition of private land. The policy has broadly divided the development
projects such as (a) industrial projects, (b) mining projects, (c) irrigation projects, national
parks and sanctuaries, (d) Urban projects and linear projects like roads, railways, power
lines, sewerage, water supply etc., and (e) any other projects. The respective type of
projects has different rehabilitation and resettlement benefits based on the magnitude of
the impact it redeems. With respect to urban projects, rehabilitation is provisioned for
homestead land, house building, apart from many other assistance common to other
categories of projects.
14.4.1 Targets
The Capacity Building Program should contain the items which will be able to raise the
capability of the staff of OWSSB/ PHEO, BMC and CMC up to the level required for
satisfactory O & M works and management of the sewerage sector and slum sanitation
improvement in the respective cities.
14.4.2 Methodologies
The following methodologies are proposed for the Capacity Building Program:
1) TNA as the first step and subsequent monitoring and evaluation of the Capacity
Building Program; and
2) A series of lectures, workshops as off the job training (Off-JTs) and on the job
training (OJT) by / with respective experts.
The contents of capacity building should cover Sewerage System Management and
operation and social development and consideration as shown in the table below:
The implementation period of the Capacity Building Program will be four and a half years
from 2008 till 2012. Although a detailed Capacity Building Program will be developed by
foreign experts during the TNA which will be conducted at the beginning of the project.
The identifiable land acquisition required for District VI, Bhubaneswar sewerage Project

Public Consultations with the local stakeholders in project area of Bhubaneswar have not been
carried out so far. The District VI has been identified to have mostly institutions and government
offices. However the consultations and awareness activities with the residents are part of the

social development and public awareness component of the project and are to be carried out
throughout the project implementation.
It is recommended, as a part of the decision making, different stakeholders should be
involved in the consultation. All consultation should be open to all interested parties and
mechanisms to contribute views should be in place. By this project almost all members
of the society are going to be benefitted. All the wards of BMC are to be covered by
public consultation. The stakeholders and/or the participants in the public consultation
can be identified as follows:
• Residents of the area
• Representatives of different cultural and religious institutions located in the project
area
• Elected ward councillors
• Representatives of different civil society groups located in the Project area
• Representatives of different slum dwellers associations in the Project area
• Representatives of different schools/college/universities in the Project area
Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) will play an important role in the public
consultation. They should organize the meetings in different wards and make people
aware of the project to create a better and healthier environment. They will also hold
meeting in slums to sensitize the slum dwellers. The civil societies will facilitate and
create interest of people to come to the public consultations. PMC / OWSSB will co-
ordinate the public consultations and make presentation on the project.
The National Service Level Benchmarks published by MoUD for sewerage systems vis-
à-vis the proposed outcome after the project implementation is presented below;
Chapter 15
15. Economic Analysis and Project Implementation
15.1 General
This Chapter summarizes the basis upon which the costs for the Sewerage works in
District VI, Bhubaneswar were developed and the resulting capital and operation and
maintenance costs associated with the project.
Compared to the provisions in the original DPR and SAPROF Reports, the length of
sewer needed to cover the entire project area has increased from the original estimate of
97 Km to 259 Km. This has also increased project costs. As a result, the project has
been divided into 2 Phases. The first phase will include the original 100Km of sewer,
Nos. sewerage and associated pumping stations, rising mains and treatment plant.
Phase 2 will include the remaining sewers. No.s of pumping station and associated
rising mains. Cost have been worked out for each phase
The Chapter also includes the Work Plan that will be used to schedule the Phase 1 work
over the 3 year construction period and the cost disbursement and escalation over the
construction period.
The sewerage works are divided into two types of constructions packages. One is based
on Item Rates and the other is based on Turnkey Lump Sum. The Item Rate contract
includes the gravity sewers and the rising mains. The Turnkey Lump Sum contract
includes the sewerage pumping stations, treatment plants and the trenchless work for
sewers and rising mains. Each is described separately below.
The estimated costs for the Item Rate contract are based on an Analysis of Rates and a
Bill of Quantities. The Analysis of Rates prepared for items of works in Bhubaneswer
sewerage District-V, include gravity sewers, rising mains and associated appurtenances.
The analysis of rates has been proposed based on the guiding principles laid down in
Odisha PWD and PHD Schedule Of Rates and analysis of rates considering the
followings.
1. Basic cost of construction materials.
Wherever the basic rates or references for the basic rates are not available in the OPWD
Analysis of Rates, rates have been adapted from other equivalent documents including
Schedule of Rates by Orissa Public Health Department, Government Departments of
other states and Analysis of Rates by the Central Public Works Department, New Delhi
(by suitably updating such rates).
For RCC and DI pipes separate calculations for basic pipe rates, transportation and
lowering, laying, jointing, testing and commissioning are made. Basic pipe rates are
based on the available market costs.
Overhead charges @ 10% over the basic cost of material of labour cost, and 10%
overhead charges extra on stone products has been added in the analysis of item of civil
construction works. For item of works over head charges @ 12.5% over the labure cost
only has been added as per the Odisha PH analysis of rates.
Sundries as applicable has also been added in the respective items as given in the
analysis of rates
Beside the above, Labour cess @1% have been added to the above cost to arrive at the
final unit cost of the items.
The different items of works are listed below and the estimated cost is enclosed at the
end of this chapter.
a. Road Cutting
b. Excavation in different of soils and rock
c. Filling of the trench with sand
d. Filling of the trench with excavated materials
e. Disposal of surplus material
3. Masonry Work
4. Concrete Work
6. Finishing Work
a. Plastering work
b. Flooring work
c. Pointing work
d. Cement Punning
7. Pipeline Works
a. Dismantling
b. Dewatering
c. Relocation of utilities
d. Road restoration work
15.3 Turnkey Contract
For the Turnkey portions of the project, often called Design/Build/Operate, the contractor
will be responsible for taking the Drawings and the Specifications in the Tender
Documents and completing the design, constructing the facilities and operating them for
7 years. The components of the sewerage system covered in the Turnkey Contract are
pumping stations, treatment plants and the pipes to be constructed by trenchless
technology methods. The method for developing costs for each category is described
below:
Pumping Stations: There are three types of pumping stations that will be constructed in
Sewerage District VI, Bhubaneswar. They include Main Pumping Station, Small Lift
Stations and Manhole Pump Stations. Costs were developed for structures, equipment
and site development work for each type of pump station and combined for a total costs.
The cost estimates for each type of pump station are summarised in Tables 15.18(A-L)
& 15.22 (A-L).
Treatment Plants: One sewage treatment plant to be built in Bhubaneswar will be of the
Standard Activated Sludge type with anaerobic digestion. Actual construction costs for
similar plants built recently in India have been collected. The plant data are included in
Table 15.1. The cost data are plotted on Figure 15.1 in terms of costs per MLD and a
trend curve is drawn through the data points.

Trenchless Technology: The rates for microtunnelling and pipe jacking for different
diameter for sewer installations from 300mm to 1000mm dia have been worked out
based on rates used in Singapore and Maharashtra State. Rates have also been worked
out, based on the procedure out lined in the Chapter on Trenchless Technology. Figure
15.2 shows the resulting cost curves. The corresponding trend lines for each rate graphs
are also plotted in the graph. Based on the graphs (except the cost of man holes) the
sewer installation by micro tunnelling and pipe jacking method has been worked out for
different sizes of sewers. The cost estimates are presented in Table 15.2.

The amount of the JICA loan that will fund the construction was based on the Detailed
Project Report (DPR) for Sewerage District VI, Bhubaneswar prepared by OWSSB
assistance with IIT, Roorkee in the year 2006 and the subsequent SAPROF Report. The
DPR (2006) and SAPROF provided for 97Kms of gravity Sewers. During the survey
carried out by PMC in 2010-11, a significant increase in the road length has been
confirmed. The increase is primarily due to the following reasons;
It is evident from the above that, without Phase-II works, the desired number of house
connections cannot be achieved and the proposed sewerage system may not reach its
designed utilization level. Hence, immediate steps are to be taken for arrangement of
separate funding for implementation of Phase-II under a separate construction package.
The remaining Sewage Treatment Plant capacities for the intermediate year 2025 and
ultimate design year (2045), can be constructed subsequently upon completion of the
treatment plant for the year 2025.

In order to understand how the Phase-I works, will be scheduled over the three year
period a Work Plan was developed as shown in Table 15.6. The three year period is
adequate to complete the Phase 1 work including the treatment plants, pumping
stations, rising mains and 100 Km of sewers including the trenchless technology work.
From an economic point of view it is also important to schedule the payments as well as
the work. This has also been done for the project considering that the Contractors will
receive an advance payment of 10% of the contract value and purchase large long lead
equipment early in the project. A summary of the work progress and disbursement of
funds is included in Table 15.4. The Project is scheduled to be completed by December
2016.

Cost
The phase I works are to be implemented in 3 years and Phase II in 2 years. Below
is the summary of Cost Estimates (Rupees in Crores) for the proposed works.
Estimates of the Financial Internal Rate of Return (FIRR) and the Economic Internal
Rate of Return (EIRR) for Bhubaneswar Sewerage District VI were up-dated based
on the approach used in the SAPROF Report (2007).
A project life of 40 years was used for both analyses and the impact of inflation was
excluded from the EIRR and FIRR calculations as costs and benefits were taken in
constant prices. The domestic currency (Indian Rupee) at the domestic price level
was used for the analysis.
An additional analysis was carried out considering annual inflation at 5% for both the
costs and benefits.
In the financial analysis (FIRR) revenue from sewage connection charges and
monthly sewerage tariffs represent the financial benefits. The project capital and
O&M costs, excluding interest during the construction period and price contingencies,
represent the project costs for the FIRR calculation.
In the economic analysis (EIRR) only quantifiable benefits were taken into account,
whereas many of the potential benefits of improving the sewage treatment and
disposal system as well as the drainage system were not readily quantifiable in
economic terms. Those economic benefits which were quantified are described
below. Since the project is designed to contribute to the public welfare many of the
community and environmental benefits are not captured in the economic analysis
and therefore the results are conservative in terms of showing benefits.
15.8.1 Affordability
Based on results of the survey reported in the SAPROF Report, the weighted
average monthly household water supply and sewerage charges in Bhubaneswar
currently account for Rs 40 and Rs 19 respectively, including slum areas. With the
weighted average monthly household income being Rs 11,665, the water and
sewerage charges in Bhubaneswar account for 0.6% of the household income, which
is less than the 5% threshold usually taken by international donor agencies for
evaluation of affordability. Analysis of the data obtained from the respondents living
in slum areas shows that their average monthly income is Rs 3,513 and they pay Rs
3 for water supply. Water charges account for less than 0.1% of the total income.
There were no sewer charges.
These results show that the average household in the city theoretically should be
able to afford the current charges and could even sustain some increase in monthly
tariffs. Financial performance of the water supply and sewerage systems in
Bhubaneswar is currently weak. As reported in the SAPROF report, only 30% of the
O&M costs are recovered through the tariffs and only 16% of the sewerage costs are
recovered.
Based in part on this conclusion the State Government is proposing new water and
sewer connection fees and monthly tariffs. These new rates have been used in the
first year in the financial and economic analysis and increased thereafter as
described below. Further the new rates are accompanied by revised regulations that
require connections to the systems. This approach goes a long way in addressing the
issue of willingness to pay, because now there will be no choice about connecting to
the local sewers.
15.8.2 Financial Internal Rate of Return (FIRR)
The financial model provided in Appendix 15.8.1 and summarized in Table 15.8.1
shows that, in the foreseeable future, the revenues generated by the sewerage
system will still be insufficient to recover the full capital financing and O&M costs for
the project.
The financial model shows that with the monthly tariff of Rs 20 and the connection
fee of Rs 1,500 the sewerage system will not operate close to the breakeven point in
terms of recovery of the O&M cost (excluding depreciation and financing cost).
However if the tariff in increase incrementally to Rs.50 in 2015 and Rs.150 in 2020
than the O&M costs would be covered starting in 2020.
The 100% recovery of the O&M costs should be set as a financial target and would
represent a substantial step forward compared to the present situation. In order to
achieve this target, the monthly sewerage tariffs need to be increased and noted
above.
A financial analysis was also completed considering escalation with an annual
inflation rate of 5%. The results are similar to the FIRR in that the O&M costs are
covered starting in 2019 and beyond.
15.8.3 Economic Internal Rate of Return (EIRR)
The financial analysis is used to help build the business model for the water and
sewer utility while the economic analysis adds other benefits related to health and the
environment. Adding these benefits illustrates the overall community value of
investing in sewer infrastructure. For this economic analysis only health benefits were
quantify and therefore as noted above the results are conservative in showing the
benefits of the project.
The health benefits were estimated based on the economic losses related to the
incidence of waterborne and water-related diseases (e.g. typhoid, hepatitis,
dysentery, gastroenteritis, cholera and others). The total loss was divided into three
elements:
1. Productive Time Lost Due to Illness and Early Mortality. The Human Development
Report 2004 published by the Government of Orissa which was conducted in Orissa
by the Administrative Staff College of India in 1999, used the figure of 381
person-years lost per 1,000 of the population. The share of the person-years lost
due to all waterborne and water-related diseases was estimated at 20%, which
resulted in 76 person-years per 1,000 of the population. This in turn results in
approximately 15,400 person-years for District VI of Bhubaneswar, assuming the
baseline population of the District to be 203,000.With the average gross domestic
income per capita in India being about USD 620 (2004, World Bank) and using the
exchange rate of Rs 44.3 per USD 1, the economic cost of productive time lost
due to illness and early mortality cased by waterborne and water-related diseases
was estimated for District VI of Bhubaneswar as Rs 423 million.
Finally, assuming that the sewerage project itself will reduce the incidence of the
waterborne and water-related deceases by 40% as reported in the SAPROF Report,
the total baseline economic health benefits were estimated as Rs. 208 million per
year, calculated as 40% x (Rs423 + Rs 8 + Rs 90). The figure of 40% as the
achievable reduction was taken for the EIRR calculation based on the World
Development Report: Investing in Health (World Bank, 1993) which provided the
achievable reduction figure of 40% for diarrhoea and intestinal worm infections.
The EIRR calculated for this component of the project under the above assumptions
is 7 % shown in Table 15.8.2, which proves the economic feasibility of the
Bhubaneswar (District VI) Sewerage System.
As noted above a number of non-quantifiable economic benefits were not taken into
account while calculating the EIRR, such as for instance, agricultural benefits,
downstream drinking water supply benefits, other positive environmental impacts,
increase of value of land and real estate in the city, road improvement, enhanced
opportunity for business development, growth of the tourism sector and more.
