Industrial Plot Drainage Design

This document outlines the drainage design for an industrial plot in Ibeju Lekki, Nigeria. It describes using the Lloyd-Davies method to estimate runoff based on rainfall intensity, area, and a runoff coefficient of 0.5. Various points in the watershed are examined and the required gutter sizes are determined based on matching the calculated runoff flow to the gutter capacity so there is no flooding during a 10-year storm event. Gutter sizes ranging from 60x40 to 120x80 cm are selected based on servicing catchment areas of 2.47 to 15.3 acres.

Drainage Design

(HFP Industrial Plot Ibeju lekki)


General
A hydrological analysis of the area to be drained is done to obtain information on run-off and

stream flow characteristics required for the hydraulic design.

The design flow is established by selecting proper combinations of rainfall and run-off

characteristics that is expected to occur over a stipulated period. The design criteria is then the

maximum flow in cubic meter per second carried by the drainage structure with no flooding or

a limited amount of flooding to be exceeded on the average of once over the design period.

Parameters

 Run-off estimates shall be based on the Lloyd-Davies method. In this method the run-off

is related to the intensity of rainfall by the following formula:

Q=CIA

Where,

Q = quantity of run-off in cubic feet per second (cfs)

C = coefficient of run-off expressed as a percentage of impervious of the

watershed surface.

I = Intensity of rainfall expressed in inches per hour for the stipulated period of

Concentration.

A = Area of watershed in acres


Parameters Estimation

1. Coefficient of run-off

The use of average coefficients for various surface types is used. However C

is takes to be 0.5 for our analysis.

2. Rainfall Intensity:

The value for the intensity of rainfall is calculated from:

I = Kn
(t + a) b

Where,

I = Rainfall intensity in inches per hour


t = Duration of rainfall in hours

a and b are station constants


Kn = A . B Log 10 n ; A and B are station constants

a = 0.3 Ref: Meteorological notes 2 : British West Africa


b = 0.861 meteorological services Nigeria.
A = 2.18
B = 1.44
The storm design frequencies for gutters n = 10

Rainfall duration t = 10 hours.

Kn = 2.18 x 1.44 x Log 10 10


= 3.14

Therefore,

I = 3.14

(10 + 0.3)0.861

= 0.421

Point 1: A = 2.47 acres

Q = CIA

Q = 0.52 cfs

= 0.147 cubic meter per second; gutter section = 60 x 40; capacity = 0.24 cms.

Point 2: A = 3.0 acres

Q = 0.631 cfs

= 0.18 cubic meter per second; gutter section = 60 x 40; capacity = 0.24 cms.
Point 3: A = 6.79 acres

Q = 1.429 cfs

= 0.404 cubic meter per second; gutter section = 2x 60 x 40; capacity = 0.48
cms.

Point 4: A = 7.12 acres

Q = 1.5 cfs

= 0.424 cubic meter per second; gutter section = 2 x 60 x 40; capacity = 0.48
cms.

Point 5: A = 2.41 acres

Q = 0.51 cfs

= 0.143 cubic meter per second; gutter section = 60 x 40; capacity = 0.24 cms.

Point 6: A = 10.45 acres

Q = 2.16 cfs

= 0.61 cubic meter per second; gutter section = 2 x 60 x 60; capacity = 0.72 cms.

Point 7: A = 5.93 acres

Q = 1.24 cfs

= 0.35 cubic meter per second; gutter section = 2 x 60 x 40; capacity = 0.48 cms.

Point 8: A = 15.3 acres

Q = 3.22 cfs

= 0.911 cubic meter per second; gutter section = 120 x 80; capacity = 0.911 cms.
