 17.5 Sewage Network
17.5.1 Introduction:
This section describes the design philosophy, criteria, and hydraulic calculation used for the proposed sanitary sewer network of the Abha site.

17.5.2 Sewage Network Scope Split:

The sewage of Abha Entertainment Complex will be managed by both plumbing and site sewage network. The interface will be
1 m outside the building between the plumbing tie-in with site sewage network. The sewage generated inside the building’s boundary will be
collected by plumbing and diverted towards the west site in the proposed gravity pipes and site sewer manholes.

17.5.3 Sewer Interface:

National Water Company (NWC) has provided two tie-in points for connection to the proposed sewerage network for the Abha site, as shown in
Figure-17.5.1. The consultant has submitted a proposal for approval of sewer tie-in 2. NWC confirmed via letter no: 1443/5156/82893 dated : April
20, 2022, that the sanitary sewer network should be tied in with the existing manhole on Ø 400 mm existing trunk sewer, as shown in Figure-
17.5.1.

17.5.4 Design Criteria:

The following Design Criteria will be used for the design of the wastewater collection system:

17.5.4.1 Codes and Standards

The design of the sanitary sewer network will be prepared by the following codes and any other standard(s) required from the Authorities/Client or
local standards.
1. NWC – National Water Company
2. MEWA – Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture
3. ASTM -American Society for Testing and Materials
4. SASO - Saudi Arabian Standards Organization
5. ACI-American Concrete Institute

17.5.4.2 Software Modelling

SewerGEMS Connect Edition Update 3 is being used to design the new sanitary sewer network, including sizes of the pipe, the invert levels of the
manhole, Q/Qf, and d/S ratios, and velocity in pipes.

 17.5 Sewage Network – Cont.
17.5.4.3 Quantity of Flow
85 percent of water consumption shall be used for calculating the wastewater flows in accordance with MEWA Section-2-9.

17.5.4.4 Peak Factor

A peak factor (Pf) is a multiplier used to account for the variation inflow during the day. This factor will vary depending on the nature of the
development. The peak factor will depend on the upstream population and several other factors such as distance travelled and pipe size. Several
methods and formulas are available to calculate peak factors, and the Babbitt formula is used to calculate Abha Peak Sewage Flow.

Where:
Pf = Peak Factor
P = Population of the catchment

The Babbitt formula is not suitable for low populations. Therefore, the upper limit for peak factor shall be taken as Pf = 6 for populations up to and
including 500. The minimum value of the peak factor is usually 2.5-3.0.

17.5.4.5 Hydraulic Analysis

The hydraulic design of the sewer network will be based on uniform flow conditions using Manning’s equation to determine the velocity in sewer
pipes as follows:

1
V = 𝑅𝑅2/3 𝑆𝑆 1/2
𝑛𝑛

Where:

V is the mean velocity of flow (m/s)

n is the Manning’s roughness coefficient for pipes
R is the hydraulic radius (m)
S is the slope of the energy grade line or channel bed slope (m/m)

All sewers will be designed to have a minimum cover of 1.2 m below both existing and final ground level. Where the cover is less than 1.0m,
concrete encasement will be provided.

17.5.4.7 Design Depth of Flow

Sewers will be designed to flow 75% full under peak flow conditions.

17.5.4.8 Hydraulic Analysis

Approximately 10% of Average Daily Flow is considered for groundwater infiltration and leakage.

17.5.4.9 Velocity Requirements

The minimum pipe velocity (self-cleaning) is 0.6 m/s for gravity pipes, and the maximum velocity for circular pipes shall not exceed 3 m/s in
reducing the risk of scour in the system.

17.5.4.10 Gradient of Sewers

The minimum gradient for a section of sewer will generally be the gradient necessary to satisfy the minimum velocity requirements. Where the
velocity is less than 0.6 m/sec, routine flushing of the sewer will be recommended.

17.5.4.11 Pipe Size and Material

• The minimum size of the sewer pipe will be 200 mm in diameter.
• uPVC Class-4 material will be used for pipes smaller than or equal to 250 mm.
• GRP manhole will be used for pipe size greater than or equal to Ø200 mm.

17.5.4.12 Manholes
Manhole structures should provide safe access to the sewers for maintenance and operations, cause a minimum of interference to the hydraulics
of the sewer and have adequate strength and durability. Manholes will be provided for the cleansing purpose at the head of each gravity sewer, at
changes in direction or gradient, at changes in pipe size, at the intersection of sewers, and at the end of sewer lines that will be extended at a later
stage. The spacing between manholes along straight runs will otherwise be as follows:
Pipe Diameter (mm) Maximum Spacing Between Manholes (m)
If 200 < ∅ ≤ 600 100
If 700 < ∅ ≤ 1000 150
If ∅ >1000 300

17.6.6 Proposed System Description
The irrigation water is supplied to irrigation tank through booster pump and then to the main distribution irrigation network at site and some green
pockets in the complex corridors and on parking slab of the basement. The interfaces between mechanical/plumbing and wet unities are shown in
Figure-17.6.2. This irrigation water will be distributed both within the complex landscape areas and outside the complex in the north. The tie in
from plumbing is shown as one tapping point of 110 mm diameter HDPE pipe which will be feeding two irrigation lines outside the complex.
There are various interfaces between the main and secondary within the complex for Irrigation as shown in the Figure-17.6.2 above.
The irrigation tank is filled from the grey water treatment plant. This report will describe and check the following requirements:

• Required flow for trees, shrubs, ground covers, etc.

• Minimum flow required at tie-in point
• Minimum pressure required at tie-in point
• Minimum pressure calculated
• Pipes head losses
• Pipes velocity
• Pipes diameters
• Junctions pressure

17.6.6 Hydraulic Results Summary:

Rain CAD, a hydraulic analysis, and design software is used for the hydraulic modelling against different scenarios to see the effects of changed
conditions in relevant models. The Irrigation water network is modelled based on the assumption that all plants will not be irrigated in same time.
Detail design contractor shall design irrigation system to be irrigated by time zones using efficient control system. Based on the results from the
model considering the worst scenario for the farthest solenoid valves node with specified demand load, pipe size of 110 mm outer dia. HDPE PE-
100 and PN-16 is adequate to deliver the required quantity of water at needed pressure as shown in Figure 17.6.4 . Pressure at tapping point is
required 4 bar to feed all solenoid valves for the calculated flows based on landscape planting. Please refer to the proposed sanitary sewer
calculations via DOCUMENT NO. 6ABHA09-ABHA-FC-DAE-WE-DEC-00005-C.

 17.7 Proposed Storm Water Drainage System
17.7.1 Introduction:
This section describes the criteria and philosophy considered for the design of the proposed Storm water drainage network of Abha Entertainment
Complex and presents a summary for the hydraulic results of the network.

17.7.2 Storm Water Drainage Scope Split:

The storm water of Abha Entertainment Complex will be managed by both plumbing/building drainage and site storm water. The interface will be
1 m outside the building between the plumbing drainage and site storm drainage.
The storm water inside the building’s boundary will be collected by plumbing/building drainage and will be diverted towards the roads all around
the site through gravity pipes and these pipes shall be connected with the proposed site storm water manholes or pipelines via y-connections.

17.7.3 Outfall/Disposal of Storm Water:

Existing perimeter roads are draining ultimately towards the west side and finally in an unlined channel with two cells box culvert.
The slopes of the project area show that the storm flow streamlines direction is towards Southwest where an existing culvert is located.
In February 2022, DAR survey team verified the location of this culvert and provided it’s required information like its size, bed level, and top levels
of it also, survey was conducted for the road up to the existing culvert location where our proposed system is placed.
The two cells box culvert width is 2 m and its height is 3 m.
The upstream and downstream bed levels of the culvert are 2079.048 and 2078.653, respectively.
This existing culvert is considered as Abha’s Complex storm water drainage system outfall.

N.B. Storm water disposal point at the existing culvert is pending for approval from Amana and will be confirmed after getting approval of the
Hydrology study report.

17.7.4 Storm Water Collection Strategy and Proposed System:

The proposed storm water system comprises:
• Approximate 1.5 km of main pipes with diameters from 300 up to 1400 mm.
• Approximate 120 m of gully pipes with diameters from 200 to 300 mm.

As per our discussions with SEVEN, roads and areas surrounding the complex shall be part of our study and the storm water collection shall be
outside the complex not towards the complex and existing roads in the west will be further developed by Amana as a part of their future
development program.

• At the North Side:
Storm water is collected from the buildings and inside the complex by building/plumbing drainage.
Tie points are provided to divert the storm water to the proposed site storm water system.
Storm water in the access road will be collected via catch basins to be installed at the low points locations and adjacent to each other with certain
distance calculated by the SewerGEMS in order to achieve acceptable values of gutter depth and spread at the 100 years return period.
Storm water in the landscape areas above the access road will be surface drain towards North with respect to its natural slope.
• At the East and South Sides:
Storm water is collected from the buildings and inside the complex by building/plumbing drainage.
Tie points are provided to divert the storm water to the proposed site storm water system.
Storm water in the access road and fire truck route will be collected via catch basins to be installed at the low points locations and adjacent to each
other with certain distance calculated by the SewerGEMS in order to achieve acceptable values of gutter depth and spread at the 100 years return
period.
• At the West Side:
Storm water is collected from the buildings and inside the complex by building/plumbing drainage.
Tie points are provided to divert the storm water to the proposed site storm water system.
Roads department considered in their design for both access roads 1 and 2 that their slopes directions to be outside the complex towards north
and west, respectively so the storm water collection will be outside the complex not towards it.
All landscape areas along with the west side of the complex is draining its water outside the complex except the above-mentioned area.
External Storm Water Flow:
As per the Hydrology & Flood Mitigation Study REV.06 prepared by M/s ACES dated 26.07.2022, there are two external watersheds that flow into
the project area, denoted by W1 and W2. The external flows for W1 and W2 are shown in Table 1:

The external flow into the project area is calculated as 2.17 m3/s @ 100 years return period. Also, the existing floodplain’s level ranges from around
2 cm to 1.66 meters with an average depth of 36 cm throughout the project area. Additionally, the velocity of the flow across the project area
ranges from 0.01 m/s to 2.73 m/s with an average velocity of 0.85 m/s.
Figure 17.7.1 below shows the proposed stormwater drainage system of Abha Entertainment Complex.

17.7.6 Time of Concentration:
Time of concentration is used to select the rainfall intensity for a selected design storm. Kirpich formula is commonly used to estimate the time of
concentration as follows:
𝐿𝐿1.15
tc = 51.4 𝐻𝐻 0.38
Where:
Tc is the flow time of water from the furthest point in the catchments to the point of discharge, in minutes;
L is the horizontally projected length of flow in m
H is the difference in elevation, in m, between the furthest point of the catchments and the outlet.
The minimum design flow time of 10 minutes is a common practice.

17.7.7 Runoff Coefficient:

Combined Run-Off coefficient calculations were prepared based on the updated land use of the project area and these calculations are presented
in the below table.
Σ ( C1 X A1 + C2 X A2 + C3 X A3 + C4 X A4+ …..)

1
V = 𝑅𝑅2/3 𝑆𝑆 1/2
𝑛𝑛
Where,
V is the mean velocity of flow, in m/s.
n, is the Manning’s roughness coefficient for pipes,
R, is the hydraulic radius in m; and
S is the slope of energy grade line, or channel bed slope, in m/m.

17.7.9 Design Criteria:

The following design criteria will be followed in the design of the storm water network:

• The minimum size of the storm main pipe shall be 300 mm or unless calculations show otherwise. However, the minimum size of pipe for gully
to gully pipe shall be 200mm.
• Manning formula will be used for the design of gravity pipes.
• Minimum pipe velocity (self-cleaning) is 0.6 m/s for gravity pipes and maximum velocity for circular pipes shall not exceed 3 m/s to reduce the
risk of scour in the system.
• Q/Qf =90% and d/D shall be maximum 75%.
• Intensity-Duration-Frequency Curves (IDF) was drawn on the basis of the rainfall intensity data for different return periods and the storm
network is designed at 10 years return period and checked against flooding at 100 years return period.

17.7.10 Hydraulic Results Summary:

- Maximum Spread and Gutter Depth:
- Minimum and Maximum Velocities:
 At 10 years return period
 At 10 years return period
Maximum Spread = 1.87 m
The Minimum velocity is 0.6 m/s and the maximum
Maximum Gutter Depth = 4.4 cm
velocity is 3.0 m/s which is recommended by
 At 100 years return period
NWC (Between 0.6 m/s and 3 m/s).
Maximum Spread = 2.46 m
Maximum Gutter Depth = 6.5 cm
- Maximum Q/Qf and d/D ratios:
 At 10 years return period
- Manholes / Catch basins which are not overflowing at 100 year
The maximum Q/Qf at P-7-9 = 77.5 % (Not exceeding 90%)
return period:
The maximum d/D at P-16 = 63.6 % (Not exceeding 75%)

Based on the above results, the maximum gutter depth @ 100 years is 6.5 cm which is below the curb height (15 cm), so the maximum
gutter depth is acceptable
