Install Rain Drainage System: 6000 m2 - 9.5 m 6" Pipe Every 10 m

In summary, the conversation discusses the installation of a rain drainage system for a 6000 m2 area with medium levels of rainfall. The system will consist of a main outlet pipe that collects water from two 3000 m2 areas. The main outlet pipe will run horizontally for 10 meters and then downward for 9.5 meters every 10 meters along the 150-meter length of the building. The slope of the main outlet pipe is considered to be 2 cm/meter. The system will also need to be able to handle a maximum rainfall rate of 30 mm per hour. The exact placement of the main outlet pipe and its length in relation to the building are still to be determined.

I have a hanger i need to install rain drainage system, note the rain in the area is medium.

Dual areas total of 6000 m2 will collect water. Each area 3000 m2 will have a downward 9.5 meter 6" pipe every 10 meters and goes horizontally 10 meters for the main outlet pipe. both 3000 m2 area would use the same outlet line. This mean that the main outlet line would collect the water coming from the 6000 m2.

Note I'm considering slope of 2 cm/meter because the total length of the main outlet pipe would be 150 meters.

Please advice regarding the main pipe.

How do you define medium?

You will need to know the absolute maximum rate of rainfall in mm over a period of about one minute.

Every 10 metres along what? You have not specified the building linear dimensions, only area.
Does the 150m main outlet run along the centre and is it the same length as the building?

Max. 30mm per hour

Every 10 meters, a 6 inches pipe runs down from the ceiling.
the buidling is 40 meters by 150 meter long and yes the line will run out along the hanger

How much will it cost to install a rain drainage system for a 6000 m2 area?

The cost of installing a rain drainage system for a 6000 m2 area will depend on various factors such as the type of materials used, labor costs, and any additional features like filters or pumps. It is best to consult with a professional contractor for an accurate cost estimate.

What is the recommended pipe size for a 6000 m2 area?

The recommended pipe size for a 6000 m2 area would be a 9.5 m 6" pipe. This size is commonly used for rain drainage systems and can effectively handle large volumes of water.

How often should the pipes be placed for a 6000 m2 area?

For a 6000 m2 area, the pipes should be placed every 10 m. This spacing allows for efficient water flow and prevents any potential clogging or overflow issues.

Can the rain drainage system be customized for specific needs?

Yes, the rain drainage system can be customized to meet specific needs. This can include using different materials, adding additional features, or adjusting the spacing of the pipes. It is important to discuss any customization options with a professional contractor to ensure the system is still effective.

How long does it take to install a rain drainage system for a 6000 m2 area?

The installation time for a rain drainage system will vary depending on the size of the area and any potential challenges. However, on average, it can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to install a system for a 6000 m2 area. Factors such as weather conditions and the availability of materials and labor can also impact installation time.
