1. Select storage type to be used at the site
|
|
2. Determine the area of the site that will be drained to the OSD storage system
|
|
3. Determine the amount of impervious and pervious areas draining to the OSD storage system Pre-development
Post-development

4. Determine the time of concentration, tc and tcs | |
Refer design chart 14.1 Nomograph for Estimating Overland Sheet Flow Times, to
From Design Chart 14.1, tc = to + td = 10 min |
In MiTS softwareUsing Time of Concentration for Natural Catchment Equation 14.6
Calculated from Equation 14.6, tc = 10 min |
5(i). Calculate the Pre-Development flows, Qp | |
Pre-Development
1. Calculate rainfall depth,P30 and P60 using Equation 13.2 2. Determine FD from Table 13.3 3. Calculate Rainfall Intensity using Equations 13.3 & 13.4 4. Calculate Qp = CIA P30 = 48.091 mm, P60 = 62.045 mm Pd = 32.32 mm Hence, I = Pd/tc = 32.32 / (10/60) =193.94 mm/hr Qp = CIA = 0.230 m3/s |
Pre-Development
1. Calculate rainfall depth,P30 and P60 using Equation 13.2 2. Determine FD from Table 13.3 3. Calculate Rainfall Intensity using Equations 13.3 & 13.4 4. Calculate Qp = CIA P30 = 48.09 mm, P60 = 62.05 mm Pd = 32.32 mm Hence, I = Pd/tc = 32.32 / (10/60) =193.94 mm/hr Qp = CIA = 0.230 m3/s |
5(ii). Calculate the Post-Development flows, Qa | |
Post-Development1.Calculate rainfall depth,P30 and P60 using Equation 13.2
2. Determine FD from Table 13.3 3. Calculate Rainfall Intensity using Equations 13.3 & 13.4 4. Calculate Qp = CIA P30 = 48.091 mm, P60 = 62.045 mm Pd = 38.04 mm Take tc as nearest = 15 min Hence, I = Pd/tc = 38.04 / (15/60) =152.18 mm/hr Qa = CIA = 0.231 m3/s |
Post-Development1.Calculate rainfall depth,P30 and P60 using Equation 13.2
2. Determine FD from Table 13.3 3. Calculate Rainfall Intensity using Equations 13.3 & 13.4 4. Calculate Qp = CIA P30 = 48.09 mm, P60 = 62.05 mm Pd = 38.04 mm Hence, I = Pd/tc = 38.04 / (15/60) =152.18 mm/hr Qa = CIA = 0.230 m3/s |
6. Determine the required PSD for the site (Equation 19.1 with Equations 19.1c and 19.1d for below-ground storage) |
|
![]() |
|
7. Determine the required SSR for the site (Equation 19.2 with Equations 19.2c and 19.2d for below-ground storage) |
|
![]() Therefore, the required SSR (with 20% added for safety factors) = 157.392 m3 |
![]() Therefore, the required SSR (with 20% added for safety factors) = 161.075 m3 |
8. Determine storage Dimensions | |
