Issues in Thalawathugoda Housing Project drawings

In Architectural

1. Some Ducts are not continuing such as plumbing from level 26-12 bathrooms’ ducts are not in
through level 11-2.

Level 26-12 Level 11-2 no duct

2. Some ducts are going through middle void space but there is no access to those ducts

No Access to duct from level 11-2

3. Need refuse chute/dump weightier for solid waste disposal

4. Roof plan above 26 floors is needed to commence design of storm water disposal
5. It need clear information (details) in each level apartment’s balcony area, cloths drying area,
washing machine area for storm water disposal & wastewater disposal design. In the meantime
require decision on location for down pipe installation whether to visible at outside or within the
duct.

6. Space for Booster pump room is required above level 26 th floor (close to overhead water storage)
for supplement pressure in water supply at upper most level floors

7. It is generally appropriates to locate the sewage treatment plant outside the building footprints.
However, considering space limitation in this apartment complex, agreed to manage space in
vertical direction within the following triangular middle space

26m
16m

22m

 Below basement level – bar screen, thrash pit, Equalization tank

 In basement level- sludge drying bed with ventilated room, sludge holding tank

 Ground floor – secondary treatment aeration tank, surface clarifier, chlorination tank
then discharges to cannel outside by gravity flow ( 6m final discharge point ground level
0)

 Level 1- Anaerobic tank 4 compartments

8. Required a Swimming pool water circulation and chlorination pump room below the swimming
pool level.

9. Transfer floor beam arrangements and tentative beam depth required to ensure gravity drainage
pipes installation with adequate headroom clearances.

10. New wall structure arrangement shall support 250mm structural floor drops for toilet floor
panels and also duct integrations

11. Kitchen area wastewater disposal pipe shall accommodation inside a duct.

12. It recommends to have the intermediate water storage tanks to reduce the pump size and
operational energy cost (may be in refugee floors). So suitable arrangement as 40 CU.m tank
space (5 X5X 2) @ 20th floor and 40 CU.m tank space (5 X5X 2) @ 10 th floor to be considered for
each tower apart from roof top overhead tank which would be 40 CU.m

13. Sump space in basement floor need to accommodate 725 CU.m water. (fire 125, Water
600CU.M; - 6X 50 X 3 with free board) and room space for 6 sets of pump (6 m X 15 m)
