In this round dimensions of the pipe system will be checked. The feasibility, efficiency and economic considerations of the selected pipe system will be verified.
Round-2:
In this round discharge from the outlets will be measured.
Round-3:
In this round time required to empty the whole drainage system will be measured.
Each team should consist of Maximum 3 members.
Discharge will be measured by collecting water in a measuring tank below the setup.
The participants have to explain the planning to the judges on the day of event.
The pipe system must be accommodated within the dimension of arena given.
Final decision lies with Core committee of Footprints X7.
Participants will have to draw the line plan of the building showing the positions of all the lavatory fixtures on A2 sheet (i.e. half-imperial sheet) along with the water supply and drainage system layout (pipe system) as per the given data.
The planning of the building should be either drawn on a sheet or in the form of a print out with accurate dimensions.
The building will be of three storey and the area of the building will be 1*1 m^2.
The height of the the building will be 1.5m
participants are free to use any of the plumbing system out of four: 1) two pipe system 2) one pipe system 3)single stack system 4)single stack partially ventilated system.
each floor should have 4 inlet pipes connecting to their respective outlets and then finally connected to main outlet pipe.
Pipe System:
A pipe system should reach every place where it is needed.
Pipe system must be designed for 1m*1m *1.5m arena.
All the pipes and pipe fittings [i.e. elbow, TEE, reduces, etc.] must be strictly of PVC.
The pipes connecting 4 inlets with their respective 4 outlets should be transparent pipe(Same Rule applied for all the floors).
Pipe fittings which can vary the discharge like valves, taps, etc. will strictly not be considered at connections.
The design of pipe system should be such that there is minimum head loss.
The participants can bring the components of the pipe system and assemble it on the day of the event within the given time limit or can bring it assembled.
Overhead tank and inlet pipe,whose position and dimension as described below, will be provided by the core committee of FootPrints X7.
Inlet pipe provided by Core Committee of FootPrints: Dimension - 0.5 inch, And considering ground floor as base, the first floor inlet would be at 35cm ,2nd inlet would be at 80cm and 3rd inlet would be at 125cm.
A Valve at the end of main outlet pipe, which will connect all the pipes from fixtures will be provided by the core committee of footprints x7.
The main sewer or gutter will also be provided by the core committee of footprints x7.
The pipe network should be closed circuit i.e water coming from inlet pipes,provided by Core Committee should reach out to the gutter from all the floors.
Elevation change and gradients are allowed in the pipe system as per requirements of the design network.
Diameter of pipe of all the fixtures should be of 0.5 inch.
Diameter of Outlet pipe(connecting fixtures) used by participants can be varied between 0.5 to 1.5 inches.
Participants can provide water proofing using teflon tape only.
Pipe network should be self-supporting [supports for elevated pipe can be provided if necessary].
Participants can bring flexible pipes to attach inlet pipe and pipe for the fixtures.
