Spreadsheet Instructions

General:
This spreadsheet is to be used as a tool for design engineers to design pump station and force main systems to connect
to the Brunswick County Collection System. The use of this spreadsheet does not relieve the design engineer of the
responsibility of verifying the results of the spreadsheet and taking into account conditions which may not be
accounted for with the spreadsheet. Should such conditions which are not accounted for in this spreadsheet be
present, the designer should contact the Brunswick County Engineering Department prior to submittal. Data should
only be entered into shaded cells. User entered data will be linked to calculations in subsequent sheets as required.
Warnings and approval messages appear behind Bold & Italicized text.
1
Begin with the "Tributary Flow Calculations" tab. Insert the number of applicable units corresponding to the
description in the Establishment column. Add additional flow generating establishments as required which are not
included in the list. The flow generated by these units is subject to Brunswick County approval.
2
Move to the "Design Pumping Flow Rate" tab. The Minimum Pumping Rate Required is calculated. The designer
should enter the desired Design Pumping Rate in the shaded cell. The Design Pumping Rate should not be less than
the Minimum Pumping Rate Required. Additional pumping capacity may be beneficial to allow for non-clog pumps,
larger force main diameters, etc.
3
Move to the "Cycle Time & Wet Well Geometry" tab. Input the target cycles per hour in the Target Cycles per Hour
box. Pick a Wet Well Diameter and Wet Well Cycle in the "Determine Wet well Diameter" box. The Volume in Cycle
value should closely match the Required Volume value. If not, adjust desired Cycles Per Hour, Wet Well Diameter,
and Wet Well Cycle values. Note: Wet well diameter to be standard precast wet well inside diameter. Submit
manufacturer's cut sheet of proposed wet well.
4 Input the Vertical Datum to which the elevations to be provided correspond.
5
Input the existing Ground Elevation and the Sanitary Sewer Invert In elevation. Do not enter the Bottom Invert
Elevation until the specific pump has been determined in instruction item #11. The vertical distance between Pump
Off and Bottom Invert Elev shall provide for complete pump submergance, and not be less than 4'.
6
Move to the "Force Main & Piping Design" tab. Input the proposed force main diameter. Resultant velocity should be
between 2-5 fps. Check for warnings below the velocity line. Enter the length of force main from the downstream
connection point to the transition at the valve vault piping.
7
Enter the Connection Point in the shaded box. Example Values are as follows: Existing 12" FM at Mt. Misery Rd &
Cedar Hill Rd, Existing MH at Hwy 17 & Holden Beach Rd., etc.
8
Select Valve Vault and Wet Well Piping Size. This piping may be slightly smaller than the Off-Site Force Main. Enter
the appropriate quantity of fittings and the total length of pipe the flow travels through from one pump until
transiting to the larger off-site force main diameter, or leaving the valve vault (if Pump Station Piping and Off-Site
Force Main are same diameter). Add additonal fittings and associated L/D values as required.
Spreadsheet Instructions
9
Enter data provided by Brunswick County in the GPM, Pressure Head at Connection Condition "All Pumps On" , and
Pressure Head at Connection Condition "Only Proposed Pump On" columns. The Engineer shall determine the
appropriate value to input into the Static Head column from either 1) the Connection Point Elevation minus the
wetwell Pump Off elevation or 2) the Force Main High Point elevation minus the wetwell Pump Off elevation.
Option #2 is appropriate when the High Point Elevation exceeds the Hydraulic Grade Line elevation at the location of
the proposed force main High Point. As a quick check to see if option #2 needs further investigation, sum the
Pressure Head at Connection and the Connection Point Elevation to calculate the Connection Point Hydraulic
Grade Line for both the All On and Only Proposed Pump Station On scenarios. If the Connection Point
Hydraulic Grade Line exceeds the High Point Elevation for both conditions then option #1 is the appropriate choice
for determining the static head. If static head is determined by option 2 for any condition, the designer shall indicate
the flow rate above which static head as defined by option 1 is the approperate value.
Select a pump that can provide the Minimum Required Pumping Rate at the head in the column "All On TDH.
Check to ensure the proposed pump will also provided the Design Flow Rate at the head in column "All Off TDH.
Use the graph provided on the "System Curve" tab to aid in determining operating points. All pumps should be non-
overloading at the impeller diameter chosen. Note: If the proposed force main discharges to a non-pressurized point
such as a gravity manhole or to a WWTP outfall, or option 2 above governs static head, the values for both Pressure
Head at Connection columns will be 0. Note: Velocity Head is not included in spreadsheet calculation due to
neglidgeable value for normal force main operating velocities.
10
Enter specific pump information in the shaded areas. Attached manufacturer's cut sheet. Move to "Cycle Time & Wet
Well Geometry" tab and enter Wet Well Invert Elevation based on the depth required to provide complete
submergence for the specific pump chosen.
11
Move to the "Operational Check" tab. The operational points entered should be points on the pump curve that
intercept the system curves.
12
Check for Warnings in Red at the bottom of the page. If both read OK, then the pump and force main design can be
submitted to Brunswick County for review. If warnings are present adjust previously entered values as required to
obtain a cycle time between 2-8 cycles per hour. Values which can affect cycle time include: wet well diameter, wet
well cycle, pump selection, etc.
13
Move to the "Buoyancy Calculations" tab. Input the outside diameter of the wet well, diameter of the extended base,
extended base slab thickness, and top slab thickness in appropriate shaded boxes. Provided manufacturer's cut sheet
to verify dimensions.
14
Enter the Saturated unit weight of soil. Use 50 pcf for the submerged unit weigh of soil unless geotechnical
investigations justify greater values. Attach supporting geotechnical information if applicable.
15
If Wet Well ballast is required as indicated on the last box on the sheet submit proposed concrete anchor design for
approval.
16
Once the design of the pump station and force main is complete, move to the "Cover & Summary" tab. Input the
project specific data as required. Note these cells are not shaded.
