This video tutorial introduces the second phase in any building’s sanitary drainage system design: the stack pipes as well as the building’s sewer network design. Of course, we’ll continue with our five-story residential building.
...In the third video, the last of the series of the sanitary plumbing and drainage design in a multifamily building sample project, we’ll show how to perform the pluvial drainage system’s components design.
...Our new DESAGÜES (DRAINS) software is aimed at the sanitary and storm drains design in buildings through the Fixture Units (Hunter) method. With it you can perform the design and calculation not only of the horizontal branches network at each story of the building but you can also size the soil stacks as well as building sewers. In the following presentation you will see a tour of its main features.
...The Fixture Unit (F.U.) concept (HUNTER´S method) used in the design engine of our software DESAGÜES (DRAINS) allows, instead of determining the diameters directly from a sewage flow value, to take as a reference the ones – stated usually on tables on standard codes regulations- that sets the maximum allowable capacity, in Fixture Units, for each available pipe diameter.
...As well as in our software PLUMBER, in DESAGÜES, the software for building drainage system design (sanitary and storm), we have incorporated the option of importing objects such as lines, circles, and texts from drawing files, in such a way to turn them into “hydraulic” objects such as pipes and nodes in the software. This minimizes user´s data entry errors and saves, in addition, a large amount of time in the project’s creation.
...In this series of tutorials about using our DESAGÜES (DRAINS) software in the design of sanitary and pluvial drainage systems in buildings, we’ll review the aspects of creating, and editing as well as the designing itself of the horizontal branches system which, for the software´s purposes, we have called the network.
