Wash- hand basins, bath tubs, Urinals etc. are
estimated per number for complete work.
Contd.
• Fittings like valve, cowl, gully trap, master tap etc.
are estimated per number.

taken in running meter including fittings,
excavation, jointing, refilling etc. complete.
• Length measured along the centre line of the
pipes and fittings.
• Manhole is a hole in the ground used to access
the sewers or other under ground installations.
• Manholes and inspection chambers are estimated

flushing pipes are taken separately per
number
• Septic tank
• Used in rural areas, factories, unsewered
urban and semi urban areas for disposal of
night soil
Contd.

tank. 15 cm above liquid surface
• Small tanks – one chamber with hanging baffle walls.
Contd.

• Liquid capacity of tank = 0.1 cubic meter per user= 2.5
cu. m.
• Take liquid depth 1.4 m., free board= 0.3m
• Floor area= 1.8 sq.m.
• Take length= 2.25 B, LxB=1.8 sq. m.
• 2.25xBxB=1.8
• B= 0.9m
• L= 2.25X 0.9= 2.02=2m.
