CONVEYANCES PIPELINE
Our water transmission and distribution team takes a “total solution” approach to pipeline and conveyances projects, taking into consideration pipe minerals, bedding materials, coatings, and construction technologies. We will develop a customized solution to your projects and its specific challenges, rather than use to approach as “one size fits all." Let us put our experience with all the lengths and diameters of pipelines to work for your next project.
There are stages in the transportation of water:
1. Conveyance of water from the source to the treatment plant.
2. Conveyance of treated water for the treatment plant to the distribution system.
Free Flow System
System toils with the free flow on the surface of the water in the conveying section that flows freely due to gravity. In such a conduit the hydraulic gradient line coincides with the water surface and is parallel to the bed of the conduit. It is often necessary to construct very long conveying sections, to suit the slope of the existing ground. The sections used for free-flow are Canals, Flumes, grade aqueducts, and grade tunnels.
Pressure System
In pressure conduits, the closed conduits, the water flows under pressure above the atmospheric pressure. The bed or invert of the conduct in pressure flows with an independent grade of the hydraulic gradient line and, therefore, follows the natural available ground surface thus requiring the lesser length of the conduit. The pressure aqueducts may be in the form of closed pipes or close aqueducts and tunnels called pressure aqueducts or pressure tunnels designed for the pressure likely to come on them. Due to their circular shapes, every pressure conduit is termed as a pressure pipe. When a pressure pipe drops beneath a valley, stream, or some other depression, it is called a depressed pipe or an inverted siphon. Depending upon the construction material, the pressure pipes are of the following types. Cast iron, ductile iron steel, R.C.C., HDPE, plastic, and reinforced plastic pipes.
