The material and riser pipe heights shown on the attachment are what the client has on site and wants to determine if the material and diameters will work for this system. The 20 ft riser limit is due to installation and site restrictions. The riser pipes can be lower, but just not higher than...

I am starting a feasibility study for a client that wants to move pond water uphill by siphon. The system would be primed with a small jet pump at the lowest pond (pipe inlet elevation 92.00). The stand (riser) pipes will be limited to 20ft lift (site restrictions). My initial research...

I have been tasked to develop a worksheet to calculate HGL. My pipeline will be a single pipeline from a pressure tank and well to a water storage tank (maybe uphill or downhill from well). The pipeline may be designed with one reduction in pipe diameter (2" Sch40 to 1.5" Sch 40). Fluids is not...

I would like to thank everyone that replied to my question. Your comments were very helpful.

I have a client that wants a livestock watering system with 4 troughs controlled by float valve with 3/4" orifice opening. The well is a baseline with elevation zero, one trough is 10 ft higher at 356 ft distance, the other three troughs are 35 ft lower at 800 ft, 50 ft lower at 1560 ft, and 60...

I have a bladder tank with a pressure switch set to 30-50 psi. With power on and all valves closed, the gage shows 50psi. We fully opened the 1-1/4" ball valve so we could time the pump on/off cycle because we had concerns about the 45 gpm pump capacity and a 50gal total volume tank (~15 gal...

I am an Ag Engineer and I have been tasked to review truss designs for wooden pole barn building in a agricultural setting. Is there a publication or website that can help me decipher all of the information printed on the small manufacturer design sheets. I know the basics like load values...

Try utilizing a geotextile fabric (10 oz or heavier) between the sand and gravel layer. This material will allow the water to pass through but the gravel will remain in place. Without knowing any more information about the site it would be difficult to make any other suggestions. Good Luck.

Check with you local NRCS (formerly Soil Conservation Service), the area engineer has a formula to calculate number and location of anti-seep collars. I also agree with the previous response, NRCS utilizes recommends the use of a sand filter diaphragm in all situations except when tailwater is...
