Building sewage piping and principles of its implementation

Building sewage piping is one of the most important and vital parts of building design and construction, which requires compliance with certain principles and steps in its installation and implementation. In the following, we will examine the implementation principles of building sewage piping:

  1. Choosing the right materials: It is very important to use quality materials in accordance with valid standards in the design and installation of sewage piping. The materials used must be resistant to corrosion, electrical corrosion, heat, pressure, mechanical shock and thermal shock. Also, the joints of the pipes should be smooth and regular in order to prevent the blockage of the sewer pipe through the flow of sewage.

  2. Calculating the capacity of pipes: In the design of sewage piping, attention must be paid to the capacity of pipes for sewage flow. For this purpose, it is necessary to calculate the required sewage flow of the building and install the pipes with the appropriate capacity for the sewage flow.

  3. Pipe network design: Sewer piping must be designed in such a way that it is hygienic and safe, and if there is a problem in the sewer system, it must be controlled in a way so as not to damage other building components. Sewer pipes should be placed around living rooms and bedrooms and around air conditioning systems. Also, to reduce the risk of introducing pathogenic agents, the pipe should be installed at a distance from the base of the building so that if there is a problem in the sewage system, the sewage does not flow into the building. Also, in larger buildings that contain several floors, the main sewer pipe may consist of several sections. In this case, floor-to-floor sewer pipes are connected to the main sewer pipe and are connected to the main pipe at different points of the building.

  1. Installation of pipes: Sewer pipes must be installed in the basement and the internal and external walls of the building. In the installation of pipes, regular and smooth welds should be used to prevent blockage of the sewer pipe through the flow of sewage. Also, pipes should be installed around living rooms and bedrooms and around air conditioning systems. Also, to reduce the risk of introducing pathogenic agents, this pipe should be installed at a distance from the base of the building so that if there is a problem in the sewage system, the sewage does not flow into the building.

  2. Use of proper valves: In sewage piping, the use of proper valves is very important. Wastewater flow control and regulation valves, flap valves and air discharge valves must be of high quality and in accordance with valid standards.

  3. Sewage testing: After installing the sewage piping, a sewage test should be done to ensure the health of the pipes and the efficiency of the sewage system. In this test, the pipes must first be filled and then pressurized to ensure their resistance to pressure. Also, using special test equipment, the flow of sewage in the pipes is measured to ensure the capacity of the pipes and the efficiency of the sewage system.

  1. Maintenance and repairs: The sewage system of the building needs periodic maintenance and repairs. Sewer pipes should be washed frequently, and if there is a problem in the sewer system, it should be controlled in a way so as not to damage other building components. Also, the welds of pipes and sewer valves should be periodically checked and reviewed to ensure that they are healthy.

In summary, building sewage piping is one of the vital parts in building design and construction. For the installation of pipes, quality materials, suitable capacity and suitable valves should be used, and the sewage system should be designed in such a way that it is hygienic, safe and of good quality. Also, the sewage system of the building needs periodic maintenance and repairs to maintain the efficiency of the sewage system.
