Sewer Hydraulic Design Criteria
Publication: Pipelines 2007: Advances and Experiences with Trenchless Pipeline Projects
Abstract
Many sewer agencies and consulting engineers still use older "tried and true" formulas, graphs, and guidelines for sewer hydraulic design. With increasing attention on system performance and the need to demonstrate capacity assurance, it is important to re-examine sewer hydraulic design criteria. The relevancy of standards such as 10 States Standards and individual state sewer design criteria, and sewer agency in-house design criteria should be reviewed relative to cost/benefit analysis considering infiltration and inflow (I/I) rates. The wastewater industry has been performing detailed flow studies for over 30 years. What has been learned can be applied for creating better sanitary sewer hydraulic design criteria to improve system performance by reducing the future occurrence of SSOs. In this paper, various design criteria are reviewed relative to the impact on sizing, cost, and system I/I.
