configuration of the land. For this reason, 3 waste water pumping stations (SPAU-1, SPAU-2, SPAU-
3) have been provided, where the land does not allow for a sewerage with gravitational flow to the
treatment plant.
Wastewater will be collected gravitationally at the lowest point, and then pumped by a projected
pumping station (SPAU-1), where it will be connected to the manhole via the pressure pipe and from
there gravitationally will reach at the designed pumped station (SPAU-2). The waste water will be
gravitationally collected at the lowest point and then pumped by a projected pumping station (SPAU-
3), where it will be connected to the service hat through the pressure pipe and from there
gravitationally will be connected to the existing sewers. From here, the waste water is pumped using
the existing infrastructure to the existing treatment plant;

7
 The sewerage network will be designed based on sizing calculations, standards and norms in force.

The estimated overall cost of construction and assembly work, calculated for each construction object
and type of work.

Detailed explanatory report.

Distribution network

Hydraulic calculation to the water system

The network dimensioning will be at maximum flow rate, maximum flow plus fire (if hydrants are
adopted as anti-fire measures) and damage. At the same time, in order to check the potential savings
from the provision of water tanks as a fire protection measure, two hydraulic simulations will be made:
with and without the dimensioning for the fire flow.

For reasons of preserving water quality, the pipeline should have a velocity of more than 0.3 m / s. It
will be ensured that in any mode of operation of the grid, the speed of water movement will not exceed
3 m / s.

At the hydraulic calculation there will be taken into account the special needs of each locality
(medical, agricultural, rural tourism, etc.) in terms of water quantity and pressure.

Hydraulic simulation will be preferable to the Epanet program (others are the same), with all elements
of the water supply system (pumps, pressure regulating valves, etc.). The simulation will be done for a
consecutive 72 hour period, taking into account the coefficients of hourly unevenness.

20
When there will be discussing about intermediate results, the designer will present the following
operating diagrams and charts:

- General scheme of the system, with all the elements included (pumps, pressure dampers, water
towers, etc.) and the indication:

Pressure in knots;
Water flow rate on pipes,
Flow rate of water flow on pipelines;
Load losses on pipelines;
Water consumption in nodes;
- Tank operation chart (filling and emptying) for a consecutive 72h period;
- Pump operating diagram (inclusion and shutdown) for a consecutive 72h period;
- Chart of system water flows (water produced and consumed water) for a consecutive 72h period;
Hydraulic calculation to the sewer system
The sizing of the sewerage network will be at the maximum flow rate.
When discussing about intermediate results, the designer will present the following operating diagrams
and charts:
- General scheme of the system, with all the elements included and indicated:
Water flow rate on pipes,
Flow rate of water flow on pipelines;
Depth of pipe laying;
SPAU location;
The final version of the hydraulic calculations will be coordinated with the Beneficiary and the GIZ
Construction Department.
Network Layout
The shape of the water and sewerage network will usually coincide with the shape of the street
network in the locality. However, depending on the number of households that need to be connected
and their location, the network will be adopted as a mixed type.
The pipelines will be located on one side of the road (priority on the roadside) in areas with
unmodified roads. For asphalt-covered road sections, it will be possible to connect the joints on both
sides of the road with as few interventions as possible on the roadside.
The visiting rooms shall be located in such a way as not to disturb the traffic or cause accidents.
The final draft of the drainage network will be coordinated with the contracting authority and the GIZ
Construction Department.
General conditions for choosing the materials necessary for carrying out the works
21
Construction materials, pressure pipelines, shaped parts, pumping units and other related equipment
must meet in good conditions the technical requirements in which it operates (including in the event of
damage) and from several possibilities will be chosen the one which, on the whole, can be accepted
under favorable economic conditions.
For all materials lifetime should be high, in principle over 50 years, especially for pipes and valves.
For machines, the conditions are similar, adding also that they have to operate with a specific energy
consumption as small as possible, and the operations and maintenance costs are reduced.
When choosing construction materials by the Designer, they will be coordinated with the GIZ
Construction Department as well as with the contracting authority.
The drawing period of the functional designs is two calendar months. Optimization of parameters in
the functional technical design is allowed but needs to be explained. No changes are allowed after
completion and approval of the functional technical design.

4.3 Detailed project and execution plan
