There are open and closed types. They are used for the purpose of separating sewage effluents, with the help of which heavy fractions and large debris are separated from water. These open-type structures are a reservoir that is assembled from perforated concrete blocks. In them, the liquid goes independently into the ground through special holes. Heavy fractions remain in the mine and are removed using special equipment for further disposal.

Closed-type plants are a special hermetic container that has technological outlets located at different heights. When sewage enters the mine, floating particles are discharged through the upper channels, and sediment layers are discharged through the lower channels.

It is necessary to install the structure in a place where groundwater occurs below the level of the station bottom. Additionally, a crushed stone pillow of 0.5 m is poured. The base should rise above the soil at 1 m.

Conclusion

Before you start equipping a sewage network, be sure to read all the provisions of SNiP, start planning, marking, and then choosing the mine that suits you. You will definitely need an estimate for the installation of a sewer well in order to correctly calculate in advance all the costs for arranging the entire backbone network.

6.3. The construction of pipelines and structures on permafrost soils should be carried out, as a rule, at negative outdoor temperatures with the preservation of frozen foundation soils. In the case of the construction of pipelines and structures at positive outdoor temperatures, it is necessary to keep the foundation soils in a frozen state and prevent violations of their temperature and humidity mode set by the project.

The preparation of the base for pipelines and structures of ice-saturated soils should be carried out by thawing them to the design depth and compaction, as well as by replacing ice-saturated soils with thawed compacted soils in accordance with the design.

The movement of vehicles and construction machines in the summer should be carried out on roads and access roads built in accordance with the project.

6.4. The construction of pipelines and structures in seismic regions should be carried out using the same methods and methods as in normal construction conditions, but with the implementation of the measures provided for by the project to ensure their seismic resistance. Joints of steel pipelines and fittings should be welded only by electric arc methods and the quality of welding should be checked by their physical control methods in the amount of 100%.

6.8. During the construction of pipelines on settled soils, pits for butt joints should be made by compacting the soil.

7. TESTING OF PIPING AND STRUCTURES

PRESSURE PIPING

7.1. If there is no indication in the project about the method of testing, pressure pipelines are subject to strength and tightness testing, as a rule, by hydraulic method. Depending on the climatic conditions in the construction area and in the absence of water, a pneumatic test method can be used for pipelines with an internal design pressure P p , not more than:

underground cast iron asbestos-cement and concrete glands - 0.5 MPa (5 kgf / cm 2);

underground steel - 1.6 MPa (16 kgf / cm 2);

elevated steel - 0.3 MPa (3 kgf / cm 2).

7.2. Testing of pressure pipelines of all classes should be carried out by a construction and installation organization, as a rule, in two stages:

first- a preliminary test for strength and tightness, performed after backfilling the sinuses with soil tamping to half the vertical diameter and powdering of pipes in accordance with the requirements of SNiP 3.02.01-87 with butt joints left open for inspection; this test can be performed without the participation of representatives of the customer and the operating organization with the drawing up of an act approved by the chief engineer of the construction organization;

second-the acceptance (final) test for strength and tightness should be carried out after the pipeline is completely backfilled with the participation of representatives of the customer and the operating organization with the preparation of an act on the test results in the form of mandatory or.

Both stages of the test must be carried out before the installation of hydrants, plungers, safety valves, instead of which flange plugs should be installed during the test. Preliminary testing of pipelines accessible for inspection in working order or subject to immediate backfilling during construction (work in winter, in cramped conditions), with appropriate justification in the projects, may not be carried out.

7.3. Pipelines of underwater crossings are subject to preliminary testing twice: on a slipway or site after welding pipes, but before applying anti-corrosion insulation to welded joints, and again - after laying the pipeline in a trench in the design position, but before backfilling with soil.

The results of preliminary and acceptance tests must be drawn up in an act in the form of a mandatory one.

7.4. Pipelines laid at crossings over railways and highways of categories I and II are subject to preliminary testing after laying the working pipeline in a case (casing) until the annular space of the case cavity is filled and before filling the working and receiving pits of the transition.

7.5. The values ​​of the internal design pressure P P and test pressure P and for carrying out preliminary and acceptance tests of the pressure pipeline for strength must be determined by the project in accordance with the requirements of SNiP 2.04.02-84 and indicated in the working documentation.

The value of the test pressure for tightness Р g for both preliminary and acceptance tests of the pressure pipeline must be equal to the value of the internal design pressure Р р plus the value Р, taken in accordance with the upper limit of pressure measurement, accuracy class and pressure gauge scale division. In this case, the value of Р g should not exceed the value of the acceptance test pressure of the pipeline for strength Р and.

7.6* Pipelines made of steel, cast iron, reinforced concrete and asbestos-cement pipes, regardless of the method of testing, should be tested with a length of less than 1 km - at one time; with a greater length - in sections of no more than 1 km. The length of the test sections of these pipelines with the hydraulic method of both tests is allowed to be taken over 1 km, provided that the value of the allowable flow rate of pumped water should be determined as for a section 1 km long.

Pipelines made of HDPE, HDPE and PVC pipes, regardless of the test method, should be tested with a length of no more than 0.5 km at a time, with a longer length - in sections of no more than 0.5 km. With appropriate justification, the project allows testing of these pipelines at one time with a length of up to 1 km, provided that the value of the allowable flow rate of pumped water should be determined as for a section 0.5 km long.

Construction and repair of wells is strictly limited by technology. According to the regulations, the installation process must comply with the standards prescribed in SNiP. The document describes the regulations for placement, size and other characteristics. SNiP sewer wells have their own number and name "External networks and structures".

Requirements for sewer wells

One of the most important quantities in a sewerage installation is the distance between the sewer wells. It directly depends on the size of the pipeline. So for wells with a pipe diameter of up to 15 cm, the step between the wells is 35 meters, and 50 meters for pipes with a diameter of 20 cm. In addition, the installation is performed with the following design features:

  • fluctuations in pipe diameter or slope in the structure;
  • the presence of additional nodes of the pipeline;
  • rotation in the stock system.

The installation of a sewer well made of concrete is regulated by GOST, and communications made of plastic and polymers are installed with reference to specifications.

Structures made of concrete or stone are both prefabricated and monolithic. Filtering installations are made mainly of rubble stone. From polymeric materials for sewer systems are acceptable: polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and dense polyethylene.

Note! Modern communications installed both in private and urban construction combine elements from different materials. Such techniques are not prohibited by building regulations.

Well dimensions

According to SNiP, the device of sewer wells assumes the following ratio of sizes: the length of the pipeline should be approximately 2 times its diameter. So a sewer system with a diameter of 600 mm is regulated by a length of 1000 mm. Particular attention is paid to sewers with a diameter of 1500 mm or more, their depth depends on other features of the structure.

The volume of the correct design is calculated according to the depth of communications according to the plan. Preparations for the installation of a sewer well include the following steps:

  • marking the area according to the plan;
  • preparation of the territory (removal of vegetation and stones);
  • dismantling of buildings and systems that prevent installation (this procedure is prescribed in special standards);
  • organization of the point of entry to the facility.

After preparing the work site, they begin to dig a pit. According to SNiP, this stage includes:

  • digging a pit;
  • bottom cleaning;
  • adjusting the depth and angles of the pit according to the plan;
  • application of bottom waterproofing according to the plan (standard layer from 200 mm).

When the pit is ready, you can proceed with the installation of a sewer well.

Well installation

The installation of sewer wells and its course directly depends on the material of the structure. Features of the material determine the load on communications and soil.

Stone sewer

Stone construction works include:


After the installation is completed, the system is filled with water, blocking the inlets with temporary valves or plugs. In the absence of a leak, the walls are backfilled, simultaneously making blind areas. Their size should be at least one and a half meters. At the joints with the sewer well, they are treated with a liquid bituminous mixture. When the sealant dries, the structure can be operated.

brick construction

The process of installing a brick well is almost identical to installing a stone structure. The main difference is that the rings are not immersed in the pit, but the brickwork of the well is made.

Waterproofing is carried out in the same way as with stone sewerage. However, in addition to the method of laying the rings, the brick structure has a couple more features:

  • a grate hatch is mounted on the storm drain, which also works as a water collector;
  • drainage structures do not need special calculations, since they already perform the function of a drainage system.

drop well

Installation of a sewer well with a drop design has much more requirements of SNiP. In addition to mounting the tray, you need:

  • install risers;
  • acquire facilities for water fighting;
  • make a water wall;
  • construct a recess (pit).

Mounting rings and other elements is identical to the above construction types.

Note! If you are going to install a standing well, purchase metal pipes in advance. They are mounted in the base to ensure the strength of the rings.

A compensation funnel is installed in differential sewers, it reduces the pressure of fast flows. It is not recommended to install such communications yourself. Structures not installed according to SNiP are easily destroyed by pressure.

Installation of a differential system is carried out in the following situations:

  • need to control wastewater flows;
  • the intended installation site coincides with other communications;
  • a deep location of the system is required;
  • if the well is closing and is installed before the discharge of water into the reservoir.

In the above situations, sewers with a differential structure are also installed in a suburban area.

Installation of inlets of well systems

The scheme for installing the entrance structures of sewer wells depends on the type of terrain and soil. On dry soils, it is much easier to install communications; in such areas it is recommended to use cement and asbestos-cement mixtures. On wet soils, thorough waterproofing is necessary.

Note! Inlets are installed in areas with stable soil.

On the territory with moving soil, the installation of flexible connections with pipe protection with plastic materials is regulated. According to specifications, a metal sleeve can be installed on the hatch, and the waterproofing can be mounted inside.

Polymer systems

Sewer structures made of traditional materials have been replaced by plastic and polymer systems. They are actively used in communications in private buildings and small industries. Sewerage from such materials is regulated only by technical specifications.

Polymer constructions are characterized by easy installation and high performance. In addition, plastic systems are less bulky than concrete structures. So a concrete sewer with a diameter of 100 cm is replaced by a half-meter installation without loss of functionality.

In addition to ease of installation, these structures have the following advantages:

  • small expenses for digging pits: for plastic structures, smaller ditches are needed;
  • polymer pipes are compatible with any systems, including concrete ones;
  • all parts of the structure have strictly specified parameters and dimensions, so all sewer parts can be purchased as a set at a time.

A typical sewer system project includes a hatch. When working with polymeric communications, special attention is paid to his choice. It should coincide with the inlet of the structure and not interfere with the collection of water.

Outcome

Many novice builders do not know what distance from one sewer well to another is acceptable for polymer systems. This value directly depends on the diameter of the pipe. So, with a value of 11 cm, the distance between the sewers can be from 15 to 20 m. For pipes with a diameter of 15 cm, the step between the structures is 35 meters.

If you need to install many wells in one area, it is cheaper to use polymer communications. They are easy to install and maintain.

Seasonal life in the country or permanent residence in the private sector involves work on the land in one volume or another. Green spaces require water, even a grassy lawn with watering will look much nicer than rare islands of withered grass, and it is impossible to solve everyday household problems without water. There are two ways to solve the problem of irrigation or water supply:

  • connect to the central water supply, if any;
  • either dig a well or drill a well.

Central water supply is a priority for cities and urban-type settlements, but what to do if this is not possible. In this case, the way out is to dig a well, or drill a well. Today we consider the types of wells, as well as the general rules for their construction and equipment.

Even from the school curriculum, we know about the water cycle in nature. Water has the ability not only to circulate in the soil, but also to accumulate in certain layers of the earth, where clay or basalt deposits create a natural shield for further movement of moisture. This shield has its own name - a water-resistant horizon. From the depth of its formation and accumulation of moisture, there is the following division, which has practical significance:

  • Verkhvodnaya - in this case, the water actually lies in the soil no lower than 4 meters from the surface of the earth;
  • Subsoil - the depth of finding is not more than 10 meters;
  • Ground - up to 40 meters;
  • Artesian - more than 40 meters.

For your information! In some cases, artesian water is at a depth of hundreds of meters.

General requirements for wells

A little later, the varieties of wells and the features of their construction will be disassembled, but there are general rules both for choosing a construction site and for the rules for operating and maintaining these structures. Here they are:

  • Wells are built at a sufficient distance from outdoor toilets, cesspools, and sewer pipes;
  • It is desirable to build wells on a hill, to prevent the ingress of atmospheric moisture and other possible pollution;
  • Construction work is carried out in the summer, best of all in July-August, when the level of groundwater is the lowest;
  • The use of water for domestic needs is possible only after laboratory tests, with mandatory microbiological testing;
  • Regardless of the type of well, an earthen castle is built near it to a depth of at least 3 meters, the width of this castle, as well as the depth of the cushion of crushed stone and gravel that lines the bottom of the structure, is 25 centimeters;

  • Cleaning the well involves checking for gas contamination of the mine or shaft. This is done as follows: a burning candle falls inward, if the flame burns evenly - everything is fine, there is no gas. Otherwise, the gas is burned out either by burning torches or bundles of lit straw;
  • Disinfection of a mine or shaft, as well as water of dubious quality, is carried out once a quarter, in the summer it can be carried out monthly with 2-3% of a clarified chlorine solution, with an exposure of 24 hours. Consumption - a bucket of solution per cube of water.

Types of structures and possible materials

The equipment of places where water accumulates involves several construction techniques, as well as the use of all kinds of materials available in a particular region, as well as at a price. Types of wells:

  • Ascending structures are key;
  • Downstream counterparts are key;
  • Mine wells;
  • Pipe wells.

By type of materials used. Apply:

  • Clay, crushed stone, sand and pebbles- these natural materials are used to form castles and lining the bottom of the structure;

Our Help! When using pumps to supply water to a house, bathhouse, or other structure, these components can be used to fill a coarse water filter, except for clay, of course.

  • Wood. Here, a rounded log of at least 12 cm in diameter is used, while oak, larch will be the optimal species for contact with water, but cheap conifers are quite suitable for laying an external non-contact superstructure;

  • Stone, brick, reinforced concrete structures, the latter, as a rule, are tubular in nature to form the trunk of the structure.

For your information! When drilling a well to obtain artesian water, in most cases, you will not need anything other than steel pipes, but here the technology involves special machines and equipment, and pricing goes for each meter of land passed, though everything is invested in the price per meter - both the cost of work and the price of material .

Rising type of spring water

In this case, it is assumed that there is a key whose strength is sufficient to fill the tank. In this case, the general rules for the construction of such a well are as follows:

  • The trunk is formed from any material;
  • The space between the trunk and the ground is filled with clay - a castle is formed;
  • The bottom of the structure is lined with a cushion of gravel and rubble;
  • If the source fills the entire tank, then a special chute is provided to drain excess water, which is equipped with a fine mesh from the inside to avoid debris and the penetration of animals and insects;
  • The top of the structure, called the head, is completed with a special cover.

Downstream analog

It is assumed that the source itself is not too deep and its strength is not enough to raise the water to a sufficient height. Unlike the previous structure, there are two features:

  1. First Feature- before entering the well shaft, a sump is formed, which is separated from the main shaft by a partition;
  2. Second feature- the bottom of the shaft is lined with the same material as the shaft. If it's a wooden shaft, then it's a tree, if it's a stone structure, then it's a stone.

Mines for water

These structures have several basic components that are present regardless of what material the well itself is built from. These include:

  • Head - the outer part of the well, which is equipped with a protective cover, formwork (30-40 cm wider than the lock diameter), as well as a bucket lowering system, a canopy;
  • Shaft - a part of the mine that can temporarily come into contact with water;
  • Water intake - up to 2 meters deep - this part of the mine has constant contact with water and is formed by materials with increased water resistance;
  • Zumpf - this block can be called emergency, it is designed to receive water when it comes "intermittently".

Features when using different materials for construction:

  1. Wood - in this case, there are several features of laying the material:
    • The formation of a well resembles the construction of a house from logs, the same dowels, the same techniques for forming corners “in the paw” or “in the corner”, the same check of the laying level with a plumb line;
    • Caulking is not used - it quickly rots and spoils the quality of water, protection against moisture infiltration from the ground is provided by a clay castle;

For your information! There is one feature that is very difficult to implement without skills. To avoid distortion of the structure, it is recommended that every 5th or 6th row be laid with logs 20 cm longer than usual. A pit for a log house is dug wider than the protruding log parts. The difficulty lies in the fact that when lowering the log house, it can be led to prevent this from happening, the logs are fixed with temporary brackets.

  1. Reinforced concrete rings. It is not difficult to recruit the body of the structure with them, the installed ring is leveled, then they dig under it and install 4 identical supports and the earth is completely removed until the ring sits evenly on the supports. Rings are lowered lower in a lowering way.
  2. Structures made of stone and brick. The technique of their laying is very similar, while the thickness of the layer depends on the depth of the structure and can be from 25 to 40 cm. The nuances here are as follows:
    • In addition to laying the walls, three frames are being prepared, which will play the role of a frame. For greater similarity, they are fastened to each other using metal rods with nuts, 6 from the bottom to the intermediate and from the top to the intermediate. As a result, we have 6 holes in the upper and lower structures and 12 in the intermediate;
    • Bricklaying takes place in a circle, for which a pattern of the required size is prepared, you can use plywood for its manufacture;
    • Each 4-5 layer is reinforced with metal wire with a diameter of 4-5 mm.

Finally

Wells can be equipped with filters and pumps for supplying water to the house, but in this case you will have to worry about additional insulation, especially at the head.

Regulatory documents are very difficult to master, especially for non-professionals. To understand all the requirements for engineering networks, you need to spend a lot of time processing a large amount of material. It is also quite problematic to find exactly the information you need on the web: often the search results turn out to be completely different from what they should be.

This article will describe all the information that relates to sewer systems, the main types of sewer wells, their parameters and requirements for structures will be considered.

Sewer systems of private houses

In the arrangement of suburban areas, autonomous sewage systems are often used, which are distinguished by the presence of a large number of positive qualities. Some systems turn out to be more economical than using a central collector, while others turn out to be the only possible solution to the problem of sewerage.

For the normal functioning of the external sewage system and the provision of quality service, the design of the system must be arranged in accordance with the norms and rules displayed in the relevant documents.

The installation scheme of the sewer system and its operation largely depend on factors, which include:

  • topographic indicators of the selected territory;
  • types of soils located on the site;
  • the presence of water sources near the site;
  • layout of engineering underground networks that are already present on the territory.
The sewerage device can be quite simple: the simplest design consists of a single piece of pipeline that transports drains to a pit or septic tank located outside the building. You need to know how far from the house to make a septic tank. The simplest septic tank can be made from car tires stacked vertically on top of each other: drains will still be filtered, and solid fractions are periodically pumped out by a sewage machine. This design is well suited for installation in suburban or small urban areas. In order for the sewer to work normally, it is enough for it to provide a constant slope and periodically pump out.

It is much more difficult to arrange a sewer system on a site with a difficult terrain, or on which there is a source of drinking water. In this case, the sewage system must comply with the sanitary requirements that apply to septic tanks or waste storage tanks. In addition, the design of the system can be complicated by connecting a drainage system and storm drainage to it. See also: "".

This design consists of several separate pipelines, so a large number of wells will be required for its operation. To ensure the operability of the system, you need to either contact the specialists, or carefully study all the nuances associated with the requirements for sewage.

Types of sewer wells

The main document that determines the design features of sewer elements and the distance between sewer wells is SNiP 2.04.03-85 “Sewerage. External networks and structures”. The document contains a large number of requirements, but there is no need for owners of private houses to study them all - it is enough to deal with the problem of local drainage (read also: ""). The main thing you need to know is that any sewer system requires intermediate wells, and they will be installed depending on various factors.

Distance between manholes according to SNiP

Manholes should be installed in such situations:
  • in the presence of an extended pipeline running in a straight line;
  • if there are turns or bends in the pipeline, as well as when the diameter of the pipes changes;
  • in the presence of branches of the structure.
The function of manholes for sewers is to monitor the system and the ability to gain access to its interior for maintenance.

Determines the distance between the SNiP sewer wells, and according to it, the following rules must be followed:

  • with a pipe diameter of 150 mm, wells are installed every 35 meters;
  • 200-450 mm - 50 m;
  • 500-600 mm - 75 m.
A further increase in the diameter of the pipes allows you to increase the maximum distance between the sewer wells even more. However, the likelihood of such a design appearing in a summer cottage is extremely small, because the volume of effluents produced by 3-4 people does not require wide pipes. The use of large pipes can be justified if absolutely all wastewater passes through the sewer: precipitation, bath water, and direct waste from a residential building.

As a rule, when arranging private sewer systems, pipes with a diameter of 100 mm are used. When using them, the distance between the sewer wells is defined by SNiP as 15 m. In the event that the sewer does not have bends, branches, and the diameter of the pipeline does not change throughout its length, then the distance can be increased to 50 m.

Rotary wells for sewerage

This type of wells is absolutely identical to inspection wells in its purpose and design, with the only difference that rotary wells are mounted in places where the direction of the pipeline changes. Sharp bends with large angles of rotation are usually the areas most likely to become clogged, so they need to be given special attention. It is this function that rotary wells perform.

The distance between the rotary sewer wells is usually calculated based on the length of the straight sections between the bends of the pipeline. If the pipeline section is longer than specified by the regulatory document, then it must be equipped with inspection wells to ensure a sufficient level of control over the operation of the system.

Drop wells

Installation of sewerage on a site with difficult terrain is a rather troublesome business. If the territory has a noticeable slope, then the slope of the pipeline will also be appropriate, which is absolutely impossible to allow: wastewater moving at high speed will gradually settle on the walls of the sewer system, thereby clogging it and rendering it unusable.

Regulatory documents in this case speak of the need to install differential wells, which are installed in steps and compensate for the high speed of waste transportation, saving the structure from blockages (more: "").

In this case, SNiP does not determine the specific distance between sewerage wells, but imposes some design requirements:
  • firstly, the height of one drop must be less than three meters;
  • secondly, with drops up to 0.5 m deep (when using pipes with a diameter of up to 600 mm), drop wells can be replaced by inspection wells using drains.
You should always remember that any sewer system ends with a spillway point, in which the final well is necessarily located, requiring an inspection hatch.

Other regulations

In addition to the standards described above, which are often a problem for owners of private plots due to their inaccessibility, there are others that must also be followed in order to avoid problems with the functioning of the sewer in the future. For example, the minimum distance from the sewer well to the building should be 3 m, and the maximum - 12 m, regardless of the type of well used. The distance from the house to the sewer well is a rather important indicator that must be observed. It is important to consider the distance from the cesspool to the well. In addition, it is important to always remember the existence of sanitary standards that determine the removal of elements of sewer systems from reservoirs, water sources, vegetable gardens and orchards.

Conclusion

Installing a sewer system on your own site is not a big problem. All installation work related to laying pipelines and arranging sewer facilities is quite simple, and any homeowner can perform them (read also: ""). About all types of work, you can find other articles on this site, and then everything will become very clear.
