Average wastewater produced per head = 0.8 * 200 lpcd = 160 lpcd
Sludge Deposit = 40L/person/year
Cleaning Period = 1 year
Detention period = 2 days
Total Volume = (40*12) + (2*12*160) = 4320lpcd = 4.3 m3
Assume Depth = 2.3m
Length to Breadth ratio = 2:1
Dimension of Water Tank = 2 x 1.5 x 2.3
Hence, Precast Septic tank of depth 2.3m, length=2m, width=1.5m as per the
design requirements was adopted.
DESIGN OF SOAKPIT CALCULATION
Total number of persons = 10.
Average wastewater generated per head = 160 lpcd.
Total volume of wastewater = 10*160 = 1600 litres/day.
Percolation rate = 1500 L/m3/day.
Total Volume required = (1600 /1500 ) = 1.1m 3.
Assume Depth = 2 m.
Radius = 0.9m .
Hence, Precast soak pit (t=75mm) of depth 2m, radius 0.9m as per design
requirements was adopted.

DETAILED ESTIMATION

ESTIMATION
An estimate of the cost of a construction job is the probable cost of that job as
computed from plans and specifications. For a good estimate the, actual cost
of a project should not differ by more than 5 to 10 % from its estimated cost,
provided there are no unusual, unforeseen circumstances.
DETAILED ESTIMATE
A Detailed estimate was prepared carefully and separately calculating in detail
the costs of various items of the work that constituted the whole project from
the detailed working drawings after the design had been finalized.
∙ The whole project was sub-divided into different items of work or
activities.
∙ The quantity for each item was then calculated separately from the
drawings as accurate as possible. The procedure was known "Quantity
Take off”.
∙ Each item of the work was then multiplied by its estimated current rate
calculated by a fixed procedure to find out the cost of the item. ∙ In the end,
a total of all items of the work were made to get the total estimated cost.
∙ Contingency charges were added, 3% of the estimated cost of the project.
∙ Supervision charges was added, 8% of estimated cost of the project. ∙
Plumbing and Electrical works was added, 16% of estimated cost of the
project.
