PUMP CAPACITY CALCULATION

In accordance with Code of Practice on Surface Water Drainage clause 10.1 (a),
the pumping capacity shall be adequate to cater for immediate discharge of the
storm water ingress of not less than 150mm/hr from the entire source
catchment. Hence:
I

150 mm/hr

510.31m2

Pmin

IA
3.6 x 106

150 x 510.31
3.6 x 106

= 0.021 m3/s

Provided pump capacity Q = 0.022m3/s > Pmin, Hence OK!

Two pump of Q = 0.022m3/s will be provided, where one of the pump will be used
as back-up pump.
