DESIGN OF WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM FOR AL BURJ VILLAGE

Abstract

There is no wastewater collection system at present in Al-Burj village. The sewage from residential and public buildings in the area is drained to cesspits. These have become clogged with time and require frequent emptying. The continued use of cesspits with the increase in population will cause environmental and health problem, and may create contamination of the underground water aquifer. Furthermore, emptying cesspools constitutes an offensive odor nuisance to the population. On the other hand, emptying the vacuum trunks in the nearly wadi causes negative impacts on the visual landscape.

In reference to above description of the existing situation, there is a clear need of project in order to improve the sanitary level in Al-Burj village town. The first step is serving the town with wastewater collection system, which is one of the main objectives of this project. The present study considered the annual population growth, their water demand and wastewater quantity for the coming 25 years that will be the design period, along with the commercial and industrial development in the area. The hydraulic calculation needed for the design of wastewater links pipelines will be carried out using Sewer-CAD software. By the end of this project, a complete design for water distribution network and waste water collection system for Al-Burj village will be ready along with bill of quantities, cost estimate, and the suggested phases of construction.
