Irish Water Construction Details
Germaine Greenweig
Welcome to the website for the former South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). This website is no longer being updated but will be available for some time as a public service.
The BMP Handbook is provided below as a complete download and as individual sections. This handbook evaluates numerous Best Management Practices (BMPs) by detailing BMP usage, installation, inspection, maintenance, and design specifications. The handbook also provides design aids that give guidance on how to determine trapping efficiencies of various Sediment Control BMPs.
The proper use of BMPs is essential to effectively handle stormwater runoff from construction activities. These practices should be implemented in site-specific SWPPPs to identify and promote stormwater pollution prevention.
Update: The Department will be revising sections of the BMP Handbook on a section-by-section basis, and due to these revisions the full version of the manual has been taken down. All sections of the handbook are still available through the links provided below.
The guide is presented in 2 Parts. Part 1 discusses the general theory of insulation continuity and airtightness in construction. Part 2, in seven separate sections, provides indicative detail drawings of thermal insulation and airtightness provisions for specific construction interfaces.
This is the supporting document referred to in Par 1.4.1 of Technical Guidance Document L - Dwellings 2007. It is a source of guidance on the means of complying with the requirements of the Building Regulations for space heating systems and hot water systems.
This document contains the detailed guidance referred to in paragraph 2.2 of Technical Guidance Document L - Dwellings 2007 to assess specific situations where the provision of condensing boilers is not practicable. It is also included as an appendix in the document "Heating and Domestic Hot Water Systems for Dwellings - Achieving Compliance with Part L".
The Dwellings Energy Assessment Procedure (DEAP) methodology required to show compliance of dwellings with Regulation L2(a) of Part L, as amended by the Building Regulations (Amendment) Regulations 2005 (S.I No. 873 of 2005), and contained in the May 2006 Edition of TGD L, can be accessed and downloaded from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland's website.
When stormwater drains off a construction site, it carries sediment and other pollutants that can harm lakes, streams, and wetlands. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 20 to 150 tons of soil per acre are lost every year to stormwater runoff from construction sites. MPCA issues coverage to construction site owners and their operators under the Construction Stormwater general permit to prevent stormwater pollution during and after construction, and protect Minnesota's water resources.
NPDES/SDS permits for construction sites with a discharge point that flows towards, and is within one mile (aerial radius measurement) of specially protected and impaired waters require additional controls and conditions as outlined in section 23 of the General Stormwater Permit.
The purpose of these standards is to serve as a guide in the preparation and submittal of plans and for the construction of roadway, utility, and development projects in the City of Mebane. These guidelines meet the current design standards and ensure more uniformity in the design of those projects. Engineers are encouraged to use these standards in their design process. It is not the intent of this manual to provide an explanation for every design problem encountered, nor, as a substitute for experience, sound judgment, and engineering knowledge. If a required standard or detail is not included below, the latest edition of the NCDOT Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures shall apply.
The City has other ordinances and policies that relate to new construction projects including the following: Mebane Storm Sewer Design Manual, Mebane Phase 2 Post Construction Ordinance and Manual, Riparian Buffer Protection Ordinance, Water Supply Watershed Ordinance, and the Mebane Unified Development Ordinance. Engineers are to refer to these documents for specific requirements as a part of their design process.
The City of Mebane will use these standards and requirements along with sound engineering principles to review the detailed engineering drawings. These standards shall apply to all roadway and utility improvements and developments within the City of Mebane. In addition, these standards apply to areas outside the City Limits that are under the jurisdiction of the City.
The City of Mebane has the right of final approval over all construction work done under these guidelines and no work will be accepted until approval is made by the City. Please contact the City Engineer at (919) 563-5901 with any questions regarding these standards and specifications.
The standards and details below shall apply to all projects within the City of Mebane and the City's extra-territorial jurisdiction. All plan preparation and construction shall conform to the City of Mebane Standards and Specifications.
Standard Drawings
MSD has updated its acceptable Standard Drawings. These details are for use with MSD designed projects and for private development design. The details are expected to be used as presented, but modifications may be accepted on a case-by-case basis. The appropriate drawings need to be referenced with each project within the Special Provisions and drawings. Any modification from a standard should be shown as a separate detail within the set of plans. Standard Drawing details should be referenced by number on the plans.
The drawings are meant to be flexible documents. There will be revisions and additions from time to time. It is important that the users make recommendations for changes to the details or suggest the creation of new details. All comments will be reviewed.
Design Manual
The MSD Design Manual is a guide for the planning and design of stormwater systems, flood protection works, sanitary sewers, erosion control structures, small sanitary pump stations, small wastewater treatment plants and associated activities MSD.
The Design Manual identifies a single set of standards, submittal requirements and approval procedures to be used in the planning and design of projects within the MSD service area. The Design Manual is not intended to serve as a step-by-step design methodology nor can the Design Manual address every situation, which may arise. The application of sound engineering/surveying principles and judgment combined with the information contained in the manual are necessary to complete the planning, design, and preparation of related construction documents for stormwater, sanitary sewer and/or wastewater projects. Approval of plans by MSD shall not relieve the designer or developer from required compliance with the provisions of the manual unless a written variance is received from MSD.
MSD Specifications
MSD Standard Specifications and Inflow & lnfiltration (I/I) Specifications have been developed for construction and rehabilitation of stormwater systems, flood protection works, sanitary sewers, erosion control structures, small sanitary pump stations, small wastewater treatment plants and associated activities within MSD's service area. In particular, the Standard Specifications, the S- Pages, are typically for new construction of facilities and appurtenances. They provide a description of work, materials that are approved for use, and the necessary workmanship and procedures to be followed in constructing the various types of projects. They form a vital part of the contract documents for MSD capital construction as well as privately funded developments. They are expected to be interpreted in cooperation with the project drawings and as a complement to them.
The Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) specifications are included in the II- pages. These are an approved set of standards for rehabilitation of MSD systems. Primarily, they were developed to help reduce the effects of I/I by defining the materials, describing the work and the process for various repair types.
AutoCAD Sample Drawings
Chapter 4 of the MSD Design Manual outlines AutoCAD standards in order to provide consistency with respect to plan and document development and for compatibility with respect to the sharing of data and document storage. Sample drawings have been created in order to demonstrate the use and function of the standard layers, linetypes, and symbols for typical plan sheets. Not all plan sheets or situations have been addressed.
MSD is in the process of developing a AutoCAD Civil 3D template. This template is a continuously evolving project. As consultants use this template MSD would like feedback including, but not limited to, styles that needed to be added, removed, or revised. If you have created a style that you believe should be included please let us know.
We invest millions of dollars annually in infrastructure improvement projects to upgrade our water systems to provide for and protect the water supply and to meet drinking water standards. These infrastructure investments improve water quality, service reliability and water flows throughout our system.
Construction will take place from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. See below for the projects scheduled for 2024-25 and details about the section of main to be replaced and the start date. All work will involve the replacement of water service lines in the public space, as needed, and the replacement of fire hydrants and valves.
Mohawk Avenue: The RWA will install water main on Mohawk Avenue from the intersection of Cotter Court north to Mountain Street as part of its Capital Improvement Program. These efforts will improve water quality and system reliability, and maintain adequate flows throughout the system. This work is scheduled to begin in June 2024 and is expected to take four to six weeks to complete.
