Location Factors for Distribution System |
|||||
Item |
Determine the Following |
||||
Load Centers |
Maximum demand load of systems - Distance from generqting plant - Basement of crawl spaces under buildings vailablefor piping - Location of entry of system to load center structure - Location or need of meters for biling purposes - Future expansion |
||||
Route |
Existing piers, tunnerls or trenches available for system - Above ground obstructions, sucha as rivers, lakes, roads, railroads, structures ,etc. - Belowground obstructions such as tunnels, trenches, piping, rock, storage tanks, etc. - Location of expansion loops, joints and manholes - Master plan. |
||||
Site |
For above and underground systems, groun contours along route - For underground systems: borings every 30m along route, longer for larger projects - Absoprtion test - Resistivity test - Stability of soil - Water table survey made at time of highest levels if possible or modify by judgment based on localdat - Maximum, normal and minimum groundwater levels - Frost levels - Location of distribution line drainage and venting |
||||
Coordination |
Installation of other related distribution systems and manholes - Interference with electric distribution lines and manholes - Interference with water supply and fire estinguishing systems - Interference with sanitary and storms sewers and manholes - Interference with communications systems - Interference with ground drainage lines, catch basins and manholes - Interferencewith fuel distribution piping systems - Interference with other gas supplies such as argon, nitrogen and carbon dioxide used in industrial process work - Excavation and backfill - Landscaping |
||||
Cooperation hazards unit costs |
Local rules ans regulations (permits, tests approval, etc. - Excavation of soil and rock and of landfill 6 Piping material - Piping insulation or covering - Pipe conduit - Construction of manholes - Construction of expansion loops and filed joints |
