Chaucer,

 

The town does not prohibit the use of PVC drains for private use.  The town does not have a detail for tying a PVC line into a junction box.

thanks, chris

 

i'll do the 12" sdr-35 lines. i'll tie the downspout direct into the line. i need help on the connections how the PVC system tie into the concrete box? 

 

i'll look for the proper grate inlet at the sidewalk. is PVC grate acceptable for the outdoor use?

 

respectfully

hi, gentlemen

 

the reason for the 15" RCP is that most of cities i worked with, don't accept any pipe smaller than 15". the reason is smaller pipes are too easy to get clogged up

 

the total roof drain is less than 2 cfs. and according the calculation, a 10" PVC pipe is sufficient if city allows. this will save some money, and we can move the pipe to the edge of
the parking, right next to the new building. we still need to open up a good portion of the parking curb and concrete paving for a good access for the installation. and if city don't
demand the access/clean out, we can tie the roof downspout directly into the 6" lateral, then 10" main, if the owner and the ciy oks it, but this tight system will easily get clogged
up, and if the clean out spacing goes to the typical allowed, which is 300', then when its clogged, there will be little chance to salvage the situation. and i think a 12" pipe instead
of 10" is a better choice.

all this money we save here is just the material, the pipes, which is a smaller portion of the total cost. all labor and related construction charges stay the same. and i really think
that we should not choke down the spending on the material so we can provide a better safety factor here for the operation staff.

 

two years ago i installed a 12" SDR-35 pipes, a privite line,  the price was really close to the 15" RCP. i know the installation time is shorter and the work was easier cause its longer
pipes with standard gasket. again, for us,  it really depends if the city allows this smaller PVC pipe.

 

need your input whoever has the final says. i'll show whichever way you wanted on the plan. we need the permit.

 

thanks and have a good day.

 

respectfully

Chaucer,

 

I don’t think diverting runoff overland to Proton is an option anyway because it appears that the drains at the door stoops are a necessity.  

 

Here are some suggestions for the drainage system you are proposing.

 

1.	SDR-35 PVC could be used in place of RCP to reduce costs.
2.	There is approximately 1.9 CFS of runoff coming from the roof.  A 12” pipe at 1% is more than adequate.
3.	Tie the gutter downspout directly to the drain pipe to limit the amount of water on the sidewalk.
4.	Calculate the actual capacity and required capacity of the grate inlets at the doors.  Provide this data in the plans.  A 24” x 24” grate inlet seems large and may be a pedestrian
hazard.  Insure that the grate inlet specified is indented for pedestrian use.  If possible, located the grate inlet outside of the pedestrian route.
5.	Run the pipe adjacent to the building, below the sidewalk being constructed, and cross the parking lot at a perpendicular angle to limit the amount of pavement replacement.

 

Thank you,

hi, chris,

 

the inlet on the pronton where the zone 1 originally drain to, has two 10' inlets. i have no info on the line size. clay never get it to me. and there is another 10' inlet on the proton,
its about 300' west of this double inlet. i really don't see a problem on its capacity.

 

my read on this is that clay didn't like to change the existing drain pattern. so if we install a new drain system, it will take care of his concern. also caly got a point that the north
landing ramps(2) are lower than the grade, and it has a chance to back flow into the building if the line ever get clogged up. this new system, though, will address both issues at owner's
additional cost

respectfully

chaucer

Chaucer,

 

Have you determined that discharging the roof runoff overland to the inlet in Proton is not an option under the Town’s drainage standards?

good afternoon, gentlemen

 

after studying your 2nd review, here is my proposal:

 

1. install a new storm drain system, composed of 24" grate inlet and 15 and 18" RCP, to guide all roof  water back to original 10' curb inlet on the midway road. thus we are not changing
the original drainage system, and hence, not adding water to the inlet on the proton street.

2. the new storm line has capacity up to 6 cps, and maintain drainage speed 2' per second at 1% or better slope

3. this system drain into existing 10' curb inlet, which connects to city's line on a existing 18" RCP

4. i'll revise the drainage calculation

5. will continue the plan clean ups for better clarity

 

have a great day

respectfully

chaucer
