Problem Statement
The proposed development is made up of various buildings located at different parts of the compound. The water supply source is tappedfrom the sprinkler water storage tank on the roof of the tallest building. The water supply to the sprinkler systems of the other buildings arefed by gravity via a ring main pipe routed on an uneven terrain throughout the compound.
ChallengeAs it is a gravity feed system, the mainchallenge is to provide a water flow/pressurecurve similar to a pump characteristic curveat the tie-in point of each building.
SolutionWith the full hydraulic calculation software,we were able to assume the various flowdemands and calculate its available pressuresat each of the tie-in points.
With the calculated flow/pressure data, wewere able to plot out the flow/pressure curvefor the tie-in points at the various buildings.With these flow/pressure curves, thesprinkler system designer will then be able tocheck by marking their calculated sprinklersystem demand for the particular buildingonto the curve to verify if the Gravity FeedWater Supply is adequate for their sprinklersystem.
