PARKING SUMP PIT CALCULATION

SUMP PIT

Parking sump pits will be subjected to maximum discharge in the event of sprinkler breakage in the event of fire hence
the sump pumps must be capable of pumping the incoming volume

Fire to be present in 139 sq m area

Sprinkler Coverage for ordinary hazard = 12 sq m
For Ordinary hazard number of sprinklers in 139 sqm is 12
Based on area density curve for ordinary hazard group-1- we have 0.15 gpm/ ft sq for 1500 sq ft ( 139 sq m)
therefore total flow of 250 GPM to be discharged by 12 sprinklers
Therefore flow through each sprinkler 1.2 L/s
No. of Sprinkler Heads bursting = 3
1 Sprinkler head flow = 1.200 L/s
Therefore: = 3.60 L/s
All Sprinkler head flow
simultaneously = 3.60 L/s

Total Flowrate = 3.60 L/s

Say = 3.6 L/s

= 216 L/min

PARKING SUMP PIT CALCULATION

Sump Pit Sizing- ( Note Pump runs for 6mins alternate intervals hence 5 starts per hour)
Allowance for
Sewage Flow Sprinkler Condensate Retention Volume
Flow Discharge Total flow Drain (10%) Time Collected Pumping Outflow Pressure Pipe
Reference Reference DU L/s L/s L/s L/s mins Dimensions (m) Time Required Size
2nd Basement Sump Pit SP-W-2 0 0.0 3.60 3.60 0.00 6.00 1.30 1.50 1.5 2.1 6 7.20 75

Hence Sump Pit Will have 2 Nos Pumps 1 Duty+ 1 Standby each of 7.20 L/s

( Note 3.6 L/s will be retained in first 6 mins, then pump will start and run for next 6 mins, during this time also there will be inflow to the pit, so pump will have to discharge 7.2 L/s to empty the pit. The Cycle will start again

SP-W-2
Assuming that the pump shall run every 6 mins. m
Depth of Farthest Parking drain/ Catch Basin -0.40 m
Maximum run of pipe 45.00 m
Maximum drop in pipe invert -0.50 m
Sand Trap
Invert of Pipe connecting to Sand Trap -0.90 m
Invert level at Bottom of Sand trap (600 mm below) -1.50
Sewage/ Sump Pit
Invert of Pipe connecting to Sum Pit -1.10
HL switch position of the pit -1.30 m
Depth of Waste Column -0.60 m
LL switch position of the pit -1.90 m
Pit Depth -2.10
Range for Pump to Operate 0.60 m
