Storm Water Network Design using Sewergems – ITPL Road, Mahadevapura Bangalore, Karnataka, India

Abstract

Climate change and increasing urbanization have contributed greatly to urban flooding, making it a global problem. Adequate drainage is a primary requirement for maintaining the structural soundness and functional efficiency of a road. Inadequate drainage facilities can lead to premature deterioration of the highway and the development of adverse safety conditions such as hydroplaning. This paper presents design and modeling of storm water network by the application of software SewerGEMS V8i, which allows projects to be accomplished in a short time, with high efficiency. This paper presents the study and analysis of sewerage system for the ITPL Road, Mahadevpura situated in Bangalore, Karnataka. The study is on hydraulic design consists in the computation of the transit and total flow and hydraulic modelling for network pipes diameters or slopes. The network consists of pipes of varying diameters, manholes and outfall. SewerGEMS offers a full range of possibilities for the designer to draw, label, dimension and plotting the drawings of the sewage networks. With Bentley SewerGEMS v8i, it is possible to analyze the working of the network for certain years of return period.
