    Temporary Water Pipeline

    Thanks LittleInch. That's interesting about the cyclone. It will be a low pressure system, so we'll have to run some booster pumps along the way.

    Temporary Water Pipeline

    good point cvg. I was just using a generic roughness coefficient, but it will probably be quite a bit more than 153ft.

    Temporary Water Pipeline

    Thanks LittleInch. I've uploaded my elevation profile. Start point is approx 612m and the end point is about 660m (about 57m elevation difference). As you can see, we have a fairly large elevation change at around 1300m in distance. I would like the flow rate to be around 4.5m3/min which would...

    Temporary Water Pipeline

    Thanks bimr. We're hoping to withdraw the water (from a river) after spring runoff so I'm hoping sediment will be minimal. The water is going to be used for hydrostatic testing of a tank.

    Temporary Water Pipeline

    quite a bit of fire hose..:) but it's definitely an option. Again, we're not really in a great area for it.

    Temporary Water Pipeline

    Thanks for the input cvg. Unfortunately I don't think i'll be able to subcontract out this job to them as they're not in an area where we're performing the work. It seems like they would have the best idea of which pumps and pipe to use though. I was thinking about HDPE piping too and we could...

    Temporary Water Pipeline

    I’ve been tasked with designing a temporary water pipeline to transport 10,500,000 gallons of water from a river to a tank approximately 1.7mi away. The elevation difference between the river and the tank is approximately 180ft. The height of the tank is 66ft. I’ve calculated a head loss due to...
