Sub: Leak in the existing gutters in Pondicherry.

Dear sir

With reference to the above and our site visit dated 30.9.20, the
following are our observations:

1. There is a over flow of water in the gutter, mostly in the areas

where the down take pipes are provided.
2. Down take pipe and gutter joints have got corroded and flow is
happening from those joints.
3. In some places, the FRP plastic provided over the corroded steel
gutter have got separated.
4. There is slight sag observed in the gutter and due to which water
may not flow through the down take pipe.
5. Rainfall that happened on 28.9.20 may be around 60mm/hr for 35
minutes.
6. Even though data shows that in last 29 years maximum rainfall of
75mm/hr is recorded only once, We decided to check gutter
capacity for 100mm/hr.
7. The calculations for the same and the recommendations to be
followed are attached with this mail.
