 Life and durability of pipe
 Ease in transportation, handling and laying.
 Economy and availability of pipes and fittings.
 Ease in operation and maintenance

Flow will be based on fixture unit calculation as per NBC-Part-9. The pipe size of riser will be restricted
to nearest 4” size to optimize on capital cost, and for ease of installation and maintenance. However,
the maximum velocity in the water supply piping will not exceed 2.4 m/second.

5. RAINWATER/ STORM WATER DRAINAGE

Design of the scheme for collection and discharge of the entire ground level storm water of the project

The rainwater can be categorized into 3 main sources based on the incidental surface and collection
points.

Rainwater on terrace and part terraces (Cleanest of the three)

1. Rainwater entering Podium (Storm water, mixed with soil and grease)
2. Rainwater on external ground (Storm water, mixed with soil and grease)

Rainwater from terraces, being the cleanest shall be collected through the roof drainage system, down
take pipes at planned locations connected to rain water tank and excess water connected external
storm water drain.

Storm water incidental on ground and from open courtyards shall be collected directly into chambers
with open grating and rain water harvesting pits to recharge the ground water table. Finally the all 6. RAIN WATER HARVESTING

8. ORGANIC WASTE CONVERTOR

Mechanical Composting is the most efficient mode of MSW disposal.

The 100% segregated bio-degradable waste has to be treated in this composting machine. The
machine works in two process stages of 5min Each to complete one cycle. It's named as batch process.
In initial 5min. the machine crushes the waste & mixes it homogeneously with the BIO composition
culture.

In the second stage this homogeneous mixture is further mixed & churn with saw dust, to soak the
excess water content from the biomass which ultimately deodorizes it. Later this pre-composted mass
is kept for curing in curing containers for about 12 days. Optimum irrigation has to be observed to the
curing system. After the 12th day the container is ready with manure & can be used for field
applications.
