Problem Description:
The
purpose of this project is to provide a wastewater system to a group of 3 -5
houses in Policarpo, Honduras. Most of the community
does not have any systems to manage the human waster produced on a daily basis.
The design will be built for a cluster of houses and can be replicated
throughout the community; in turn this will develop better sanitary
conditions. This will also provide an
education component for the community in order to continue sanitary status in
the community.
Final products:
The
following deliverables are required to complete the wastewater system design.
1)
Meeting notes from all the team meetings, for master project file
2) Detailed maps showing water flow
from AutoCAD/ArcGIS/Flowmaster
a) Vicinity map
b) Watershed map
c) Topography
map of selected site
3) Geo-technical report
4) Field Review Memorandum
5) Description of constraints and
conceptual design criteria
6) Cost Estimate
7) Decision matrix & Memo
describing selection of preferred alternative
8) Design drawing
9) Operations and maintenance manual
10) Design Report
Scope of work:
The following scope of service
outlines the tasks required to complete a wastewater system design.
Task 1 - Project
Management
Consists of
meetings with the client, the design team, and the technical advisor to provide
insight, feedback, organization, and direction. Client meetings ensure
everyone understands the purpose of the project and the client is
satisfied. The design team will have
coordination meetings to organize notes and enforce design completion dates.
Technical meetings will include the design team and the TA,
this will help to ensure the team is on the right track.
Task 2 - Mapping
and Surveying
Maps will be produced from the data
collected from previous trips to Roatán. The maps
produced will have topographical information, vicinity information, and site
location specific information.
Task 3 -
Geo-technical Study
The design team will do necessary
research for Geotechnical studies of the island with regard to soil conditions.
This will include the soil hydraulic conductivity, direct shear, and expansion
index.
Task 4 -
Investigation of Current Wastewater Treatment Practices
The design team will utilize data
from previous trips to find the current conditions of wastewater systems in the
community. This will be concluded in a “field review memorandum”.
Task 5 - Identify
Conceptual Alternatives
The design team will use any
resources necessary to identify the site location, site specifics, ID
constraints for the system, and develop conceptual alternatives for the system
that will be installed in La Colonia.
Task 6 - Develop
Alternatives
The design team will develop a
preliminary design of each conceptual alternative, which will include
schematics and general configurations of the system. The team will produce cost
estimates which will help in the final system design and installation. The
design team will conduct analysis of the alternatives using a decision matrix, this will help in determining a final design. The
team will then produce a detailed design of the final product for the
community.
Task 7 - Operations
and Upkeep Report
The team will produce a list of
operation and maintenance requirements. This will ensure the use and
maintenance of the system that will be installed in the community. This will ensure the design will be used
properly and failure rates will be lowered.
Task 8 - Design
Report
The final design report will be
compiled of all previous developed deliverables.
