We are still running AutoCad 2007 and Land Desktop 2007 and both are working great. We still have Windows XP on our machines. It's the old "if it ain't broke then don't fix it" adage. We are getting ready to purchase new computers and printers and are thinking about going with newer versions...
Is this for a grinder pump? Our regulations require 4" min diameter FM from a pump station. If for a grinder pump station, check with your regulatory agency and see if a continuous HDPE line would be acceptable; basically construct the FM to watermain standards. Definitely check with the...
This is a continuation of an earlier thread but with a little more information. Basically, we've got a situation with the design of a new pump station that will serve a new development with gravity sewer and that will also be handling discharge from other pump stations. These other existing...
Rudimentary calculations: I’ve calculated the total volume to be exchanged through the tide 242,000 cfs, which basically accounts for 4’ of tide. I’ve determined the stage/storage data for the pond and the stage/discharge data for the culvert. For the culvert stage/discharge data, I assumed a...
cvg,
Thanks. As I've gotten deeper I don't believe that (1) 36" pipe will work. I don't think the the pond level and creek level will ever equalize. The tides vary from 0' to 7' over 6 hours and it is a pretty good size pond; 1.7 acres. The volume of water that we'd like to exchange is...
Thank you all for your responses.
psmart - The elevation difference between the WSE creek and WSE pond is what I am trying to calculate. This should be a function of the resistance in the pipe. I also need to make sure that the pond will drain down to the invert of the 36" pipe. We are...
It will be mature crabs and there will be a screen in front of the inlet/oulet that will keep the crabs in.
The inlet/outlet will consist of 36" pipe open to the tidal creek and with a concrete inlet structure in the pond. The invert of the pipe will be 4' below Mean High Water and 2' above...
Our firm has been asked to design a saltwater impoundment (pond) along an existing saltwater creek that will be used to hold crabs/shrimp. The pond will be approximatley 1.7 acres and 11 ft. deep. The pond will fill and drain through a single culvert connected to the creek. We'd like to...
bimr/77JQX - thanks for your replies.
A little more info and a sketch...the pump station (PS1) is an existing pump station that we are looking at replacing/upgrading the pumps within the wetwell. The existing ADF into the wetwell for PS1 from the gravity sewer has been determined to be 24...
Wouldn't the max flow from the gravity pipe flowing full will attenuate the flow? With a 100 gpm pump discharging into a manhole with an 8" gravity sewer pipe @ 0.33% slope, max flow out would be approximately 40 gpm. There would be some surcharging at the first manhole.
How do you handle design of a pump station that has gravity flow plus pumped discharge from upstream pump stations?
We have (2) pump stations that pump into the gravity sewer system (an 8" pvc sewer @ 0.33% slope). The (2) existing upstream pump stations are 100 gpm each. A conservative...
