BUILDING DRAINAGE

SYSTEMS
 DRAINAGE SYSTEM
• IS DEFINED AS THE ARRANGEMENT PROVIDED IN A
HOUSE OR BUILDING FOR COLLECTING OR
CONVEYING WASTEWATER THROUGH DRAIN PIPES,
BY GRAVITY.
 SINGLE STACK SYSTEM
• ONLY SINGLE PIPE ACTS AS
SOIL PIPE, WASTE PIPE, AND
VENTILATION PIPE.
• THIS IS A POORLY VENTILATED
SYSTEM.
• IT IS SIMPLE AND EASY TO
CONSTRUCT.
 ONE PIPE SYSTEM
• IN THIS SYSTEM ONLY ONE
MAIN PIPE IS PROVIDED WHICH
COLLECTS BOTH THE FOUL SOIL
WASTE AS WELL AS UNFOUL
WASTE FROM THE BUILDINGS.
• ALL THE TRAPS OF THE W.C.,
BASINS SINKS, ETC. ARE FULLY
VENTILATED AND CONNECTED
TO THE VENTILATION PIPE.
 SINGLE STACK PARTIALLY VENTILATED SYSTEM
• IN THIS SYSTEM ONLY ONE PIPE
IS PROVIDED TO COLLECT ALL
TYPES OF WASTE WATER FOUL
AS WELL AS UNFOUL. A RELIEF
VENT PIPE IS PROVIDED FOR
VENTILATING ONLY THE WATER
CLOSET-TRAPS.
 TWO PIPE SYSTEM
• IN THIS SYSTEM, TWO PIPES ARE PROVIDED.
• SEPARATE SOIL PIPE AND WASTE PIPE ARE
PROVIDED.
• TWO VENT PIPES ARE ALSO PROVIDED
• ALL THE TRAPS USED IN THIS SYSTEM ARE
FULLY VENTILATED.
• IT IS EFFICIENT SYSTEM BUT COSTLIER THAN
OTHER SYSTEMS.
