The stationing should be shown to the nearest ⅒th of a foot. It should
commence at 0 + 00 at the outlet and increase up the sewer. The station
of any point on the sewer may show the distance from it to the outlet,
or a new system of stationing may be commenced at important junctions or
at each junction.
Elevations of the surface of the ground should be shown to the nearest
⅒th of a foot, and the invert elevation to the nearest 1/100th of a
foot.
Only the main line sewer is shown in profile in Fig. 26. The profiles of
the laterals computed in Table 20, have not been shown. The approximate
location of all house inlets are shown on the profile and located
exactly, and are made a matter of record during construction.
DESIGN OF A STORM WATER SEWER SYSTEM
=50. Planning the System.=—Storm sewer systems are seldom as extensive
as separate or combined sewer systems, since storm sewage can be
discharged into the nearest suitable point in a flowing stream or other
drainage channel, whereas dry weather or combined sewage must be
conducted to some point where its discharge will be inoffensive. The
need of a comprehensive general plan of a storm sewer system is quite as
great, however, as for a separate system. The haphazard construction of
sewers at the points most needed for the moment results in the
duplication of forgotten drains, expense in increasing the capacity of
inadequate sewers, and difficult construction due to underground
structures thoughtlessly located. A comprehensive plan permits the
construction of sewers where they are needed as they are required, and
enables all probable future needs to be cared for at a minimum of
expense.
The same preliminary survey, map, and underground information are
necessary for the design of a storm sewer system as for a separate sewer
system. The map shown on Fig. 25 has been used for the design of a
storm-water sewer system.
The steps in the design of a storm-water sewer system are:
1st. Note the most advantageous points to locate the inlets and lay out
the system to drain these inlets. 2nd. Determine the required capacity
of the sewers by a study of the run-off from the different drainage
areas. 3rd. Draw the profile and compute the diameter and slope of the
pipes required.
