MARIA LUISA DEL CARPIO RUBIO
3. LOCATION:
SECTOR 7 - GROUP 4, Block B - Lot 13, Villa el Salvador District
Province and Department of Lima.

4. ADOPTED SOLUTION:
a) Potable Water: It has been designed with the indirect system (Tank
Cistern - Pumping Equipment - Elevated Tank), due to pressure
that presents and for maintenance prevention and rationing in the
red. The system consists of the public drinking water network of
SEDAPAL, whose water intake will be controlled with the main meter
of consumption, followed by a 3/4” supply pipe that
it will supply the tank truck, two pumping units of 3/4 HP each
one to push the water to the elevated tank in a 1" pipe and from there
by gravity and through 3/4" feeding pipes
will distribute the water through the branch pipes of ¾” and ½”, to each
one of the departments.

b) Drainage:
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors are designed with an evacuation.
by gravity maintaining the established slope of the pipes and
with final disposal to the public sewer system (Sedapal)
 In the drainage system, branches have been projected from
ventilation, in the traps of sanitary appliances as in the
terminals of the branches; to maintain the water seals
content in the siphons and to discharge the produced gases
inside the internal network.

5. CALCULATIONS

a) Allocation: Minimum daily consumption of drinking water, in lt/day. (according to

S.010.2.2.)
1 apartment (3 bedrooms with/without balcony) = 3 x 850 2,550 lt/day
commercial premises (A=200.00 M2) 40 x 200.00 = 8,000.00 lt/day

TOTAL ALLOCATION 10,550.00 lt/day.

Adopt 11,000.00 Lt/day

b) Storage: Potable water deposits, in m3 (according to S.010.2.4)

S.010.2.4)
IN THE CISTERN = 3/4 x 11 m3= 8.25 m3, adopts V CISTERNA = 8.50 m3

c) Diameter of the distribution pipes: They have been calculated by the

method of probable expenses (Hunter), in U.H., whose equivalent is
from a lt/seg (S.010.2.3.a).

Taking into account: Private use devices (Annex No. 1)

Toilet with tank = 7 U.H.
Sink = 7 U.H.
 Shower = 7 U.H.
Kitchen sink = 7 U.H.
Laundry = 4 U.H.
Washing machine = 4 U.H.

d) Maximum Simultaneous Demand: Maximum flow required, when

Is there a possibility that all water sanitary appliances are in
simultaneous operation, in U.H. (method of probable expenses - Hunter)

What is equivalent to: Q.M.D.S. = 1.18 lt/sec

e) Diameter of the discharge pipe: it is determined based on the

Qb, in inches (according to S.010.2.5. Annex 05).
It is obtained; T.IMPULSIÓN = 1. "

The manholes will be made of brick masonry or prefabricated.
having the following dimensions: 12" x 24" y 24” x 24”
considering the length of the lot; the slope assigned to the line of
drainage, the number of pipes that reach the junction box; thus
in a way that a good inspection can be done.
If the junction boxes were masonry on the ground
conveniently compacted a concrete flooring will be executed in
 1:10 proportion of 10 cm thickness on which the hull will be erected.
from the register box with brick masonry in corner bond with
mixture 1:4 to be plastered on the inside with fine sand and
flattened, the intersections of the adjacent planes will be concave,
In the bottom of the box, a ½ channel will be constructed. cane
conveniently shaped and in accordance with the diameters of the

1:4.

The cover will be made of reinforced concrete for a resistance of 175 kg/cm2.

It will carry iron armor with five ¼" iron rods in one direction and
three in the other on the 12” x 24” covers; as well as five rods in
both directions in the 24” x 24” lids on the same plane; it will carry
additionally two 3/8” iron handles flush with the face
the upper part of the cover that must be brushed and ironed, having the
rounded edges with a radius of 0.05 cm.

5.0 DRAINAGE INSTALLATION TEST

As it has been getting plugged and filling with water after installation.
each section of the pipe, this is already considered a partial test
only missing to carry out the total or general test that will be done by making the

connection of the different stages, filling with water and observing if

There is a decrease in the level at the highest part, if this occurs
the location that is failing will be located and the process will proceed to its

repair, repeating the operation as many times as necessary until

achieve the tightness of the executed installations.
At the end of the tests, a report will be drawn up in the presence of the Engineer.
Inspector, the same that will be recorded in the work notebook and will be
