| 9.12 Entrance Culvert/Crossing 9.12.1 Where an entrance culvert/crossing is proposed at a stretch of closed drain, gratings openings shall be provided at the closed drain sections upstream and downstream of the proposed entrance culvert crossing. The gratings shall be designed in accordance with the Land Transport Authority's latest Standard Details of Road Elements. 9.12.2 Under the exceptional circumstance where the entrance culvert/crossing is shallower than 600 mm or when requested by the Board, hinged open gratings shall be installed throughout the whole length of the entrance culvert/crossing. 9.13 Live Loads on Drains 9.13.1 In the design of drains, stability of the slope and upheaval shall be considered. A nominal live load surcharge of 10 kN/m 2 shall betaken into consideration in the design of drains except as qualified by Clause 9.13.2 and Clause 9.13.4. 9.13.2 For drains that are adjacent to roads and are affected by vehicular loading, alive load surcharge of 20 kN/m 2 shall betaken into consideration in the design of drains. 9.13.3 Culverts carrying vehicular loading shall be designed to withstand bridge loading in accordance with Land Transport Authority’s standards. 9.13.4 For drains that are required to install 4 m x 2 m grating as stipulated in Clause 5.4.cii, the drains shall be designed to withstand bridge loading in accordance with Land Transport Authority’s standards. 38 10 PUMPED DRAINAGE SYSTEM 10.1 The minimum design and operation criteria for the pumped drainage system shall be as follows a) The pumping capacity shall be adequate to cater for immediate discharge of the storm water ingress of not less than 150 millimetres per hour from the entire source catchment area i.e.: where P = pumping capacity (ms) I = rainfall intensity (mm/hr) A = catchment area contributing to ingress of storm water (m) b) There shall be minimally one complete set of backup pumping equipment, including backup pumps and pumping mains. The pumped drainage system shall be supported by a generator should the main power supply fail. c) The pumping installation shall be designed with an automated device to start the pumping operation at times of storm water ingress, with operational option for manual control to override the automated device whenever desired. d) Adequate pump sump shall be provided with sufficient storage capacity to cater for the total quantum of inflow from the entire source catchment area over a duration of at least 3 hours or such longer period as maybe deemed necessary by the Qualified Person or as required by the Board for the reactivation of the pumping installation in the event of emergency breakdown/repairs or power failure, based on the maximum recorded rainfall given below Download 3.37 Mb.
