DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A

DRAINAGE IN A RURAL COMMUNITY

ACMK Construction Company

Introduction■ This designing and construction project became necessary due to

numerous complaints of flooding in the area of 500 km square. The area has a population of 150,000 people where 20% of the population are attributed to children between the ages of 4-13 years old.

Problem Statement■ Objectives• Using the SMART analysis:SPECIFIC• Construction would be in phases which

includes from start-to-finish of the project.

MEASURABLE• Our progress will be measured on a

weekly basis whereby we plan to excavate 50km square in trenches so as to pour the concrete mixtures before the pipes are been laid.

ASSIGNABLE• Project manager: Meetings, Resources,

Preparation of final reports

• Concrete Experts: All aspects of concrete for the project and analysis of results.

• Procurement; Ordering of all materials for the project

• Scheduling: Construction scheduling timeline and excavation

REALISTIC• The pipes come in standard form of 20

meters long. 20 pieces of pipes are produced every 6-hrs which comes out to be 80 pieces/day. A total of 381 pipes would be produced at an approximation of 5 days .

TIME RELATEDDuration of project is 9-months.

Scope (Constraints, Assumptions, Limits, Exclusion, & Inclusion)

■ Scope: The project consists of the design, permitting and construction, pollution control structures, water control structures, A or B Manhole 48” Diameter (up to 4’ deep), and 12 catch basins. System maintenance and repair will be done only up to one month after final inspection.

■ Assumptions: Steady & Uniform gravity flow, company personnel have adequate knowledge to carry out project, design will follow health, safety, quality, & performance requirements, all research information can be obtained from open sources. Etc.

■ Limits: We would be limited for only one month after inspection, Future modification or structural changes would not be the company’s responsibility.

Significance (Merit, Profit, and/ or Benefit)

■ Significance: The continuous flow of storm water which is caused by excess rainfall created flooding, erosion and transportation of potential pollutants to the local bodies of water in the rural area.

■ Benefit: • Erosion Control• Standardized Drainage for neighboring communities• Elimination of death rate between the ages of 4-13 years old.

Proposed ApproachSolution Approach

■ Dig the trenches in segments whereby we pour the concrete base before laying the first segment of pipes and connect all necessary fittings.

■ While digging the second segment, the previous segment would be backfilled which will work simultaneously for other sub-segments of the solution approach.

■ Less expensive

Contractual Aspects■ ACMK will hire consultants to provide an overall assessment of the

surrounding areas■ This aspect will facilitate the needs of the community while ensuring efficient

and effective project initiative■ The consultant will create line of communication with the community in order

to gain feedback and address unplanned issues that may arise during the length of the project

■ Field workers will meet the demand based on the timeframe of the project■ Contract with equipment company to provide all construction equipment

needs

Cost■ The linear meters of the total area where the pipes would be laid is 7,620 meters

which gives us a number of 381 pipes of 20 meters long.■ The total cost of the project is one million, four hundred and eighteen thousand,

five hundred and forty eight thousand dollars only ($1,418,548).■ A or B Manhole 48” Diameter (up to 4’ deep) would be installed at every 40-

meter for cleanup and future services.■ Since the project is a cost-plus proposal, it includes all materials and installation,

hiring of heavy duty equipment’s unless otherwise noted. The notation TDB = To Be Determined which indicates that it would be an industry accepted estimate as a standard cost-plus price has not be established.

■ This is an industry accepted and current estimate for any materials that are approved and permitted by the City but not included in this document.

■ Cost for manholes are assumed to be precast, unless otherwise noted. This is accepted and current estimate for any structures that are poured in place.
