The key takeaways are that temporary drainage systems including silt traps need to be established during construction to prevent erosion and trap sediment before water is discharged. Design considerations are based on Malaysian planning and drainage standards.

The overall concept is to provide temporary earth drains to channel silt water from the construction site into a silt trap to prevent direct discharge into nearby water bodies, and to effectively trap sediment in the silt trap before water flows into the drainage system.

The steps involve determining the time of concentration, sizing requirements based on area and rainfall intensity, and calculating dimensions for the settling and sediment storage zones, outlet pipe, and emergency spillway.

CHAPTER 3 SILTRAP AND TEMPORARY DRAINAGE

3.0

INTRODUCTION The developer Kementerian Kewangan Malaysia is proposing to develop 3.2 hectar

land on lot. The site location is attached on layout plan. The project implimentation will begin with site clearing and earthworks. The construction work will inevitably change the drainage pattern over the site dictated by the restructuring of earthworks to suits land use planning proposal. To cater for this development needs and erosion control measures, the main and temporary drainage system will be establised concurrently including channelisation, silt trap and turfing before other infrastructures move in. 3.1 DESIGN REFERENCE The design reference are base on the Planning and Design Procedure no 1, Standard and Procedures for Peninsular Malaysia, Volumes 1 - 20 (Manual Saliran Mesra Alam Malaysia) Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia, 2000. 3.2 DRAINAGE OVERALL DESIGN SYSTEM

The overall concept in the temporary drain and silt trap design is as follows: i) Providing site perimeter temporary earth drain to curb silt water from construction site and channel into the silt trap in order to prevent it from directly flowing into the nearby swapm or river. ii) Silt trap shall be constructed and maintained to effectively trap the silt from the muddy water before the water flow into the drain. iii) Final discharges all the filtered water (by silt trap) from this development shall be into existing drain. 3.3 TEMPORARY EARTH DRAIN AND SILT TRAP DESIGN

3.3.7 Sediment Basin Design Report Area : 125 50.4 L = 850 m S = 0.5 STEP 1 : Determine overland flow time of concentration (minutes) From equation 14.1, t0 = 107 n L1/3 / S1/2 = = 107 (0.0275) (850)1/3 / 0.51/2 39.42 minutes acres hectares

Adopted Time of concentration = 40 minutes STEP 2 : Sizing of Sediment Basin From table 39.4, the predominant soil type is categorised as type C From table 39.5, for a 3 month ARI, (Interpolation) Required Surface Area Required Total Volume The Surface area required for this site = 172 m2/ha = 206.67 m3/ha = Required Surface Area x Area = 172 x 50.4 = 8668.8 m2 (Note : this is the average surface area for the settling zone volume, i.e. at middepth) The total basin volume required for the site = Required Total Volume x area = 206.67 x 50.4

= 10416.17 m3 a) Settling zone From table 39.5 The settling zone depth, y1 = 0.6 m = 5208.09 m3 W1 = 73m = 5208.09 / (73 x 0.6) = 118.91 m, say 119m Average surface area = 119 x 73 = 8687 m2 > 8668.8 m2 Check settling zone dimension (page 39-16) : (L1 / y1) ratio = 119 / 0.6 = 198.33 (L1 / W1) ratio = 119 / 73 = 1.63 < 2 (baffles should be provided to prevent short Circuiting) b) Sediment storage zone The required sediment storage zone volume, storage zone are, W2 = W1-2(y1/2)Z L2 = L1-2(y1/2)Z = = = = 73 2 (0.6/2)2 71.8 m 119 2(0.6/2)2 117.8 m V2 = 5208.09 m3 < 200 OK! OK! The required settling zone, V1 Try a settling zone average width,

Required settling zone average length, L1 = V1/W1y1

For a side slope, Z = 2.0 ( H ) : 1 ( V ), the dimension at the top of the sediment

The required depth for the sediment storage zone, which must be at least 0.3 m, can be calculated from the following relationship,

V2 = Which gives, 5208.09

Z2y23 - Zy22 (W2 + L2) + y2(W2L2)

= 4y23 379.2y22 + 8458.04y2

Use trial and error to find y2 For y2 = 0.5 m , V2 = 4134.72 m3 For y2 = 0.6 m ,V2 = 4939.18 m3 For y2 = 0.65 m ,V2 = 5338.61 m3 For y2 = 0.64 m ,V2 = 5258.87 m3 * y2 V2 > > 0.3 OK! 5208.09 OK!

c) Overall Basin Dimensions At top water level: WTWL LTWL Base : WB LB = W1 - 2Z[(y1/2) + y2] = L1 - 2Z[(y1/2) + y2] = 69.24, say =69 m =115.24, say =115 m = W1 + 2Z(y1/2) = 74.2 , say = 74 m m

= L1 + 2Z(y1/2) = 120.2 , say = 120

Depth : Settling zone, y1 = 0.6 m

Sediment storage, y2 = 0.64 m Side Slope, Z =2 (H): 1 (V) STEP 3 : Sizing of Outlet Pipe Outlet riser = 900 mm diameter perforated MS pipe

The pipe is to be provided with sufficient small orifice openings to ensure that the basin will completely drain within 24 hours after filling. Average surface area, Aav = (WTWL x LTWL + WB x LB)/2 = 8407.5 m2 Orifice area, total = 2Aav(y)1/2 / [t Cd(2g)1/2] = 0.082 m2 Using an orifice size of 50 mm, the area of each orifice is A0 = 1.96 x 10-3 m2 Total no of orifices required = 0.082 / 1.96 x 10-3 = 42 At height of 200 mm, starting at the bottom of the pipe, put 2 rows of 7 x 50 mm orifices evenly spaced around the pipe. STEP 4 : Sizing of Emergency Spillway The emergency spillway must be design for a 5 year ARI flood. The silt level must be set a minimum 300 mm above the basin top water level. The following assumptions are made in the calculations. * assume riser pipe flow is orifice flow through the top of pipe only. * riser pipe is 300 mm, the height between the top of the pipe and the spillway crest level. Qspillway = Q10 - Qriser

From equation 14.7, Q10 = C.10I10A / 360 The 10 year ARI rainfall intensity for Kuala Lumpur is derived from equation 13.3 and table 13.3 for a 40 minutes duration. 10I60 = 316.24 mm/hr, 10I30 = 291.02mm/hr and Fd = 0.376. Therefore,
40

I10

= (145.51 - 0.376(316.24 145.51)) / (45/60) = 108.42 mm/hr

From equation 14.7, with C = 0.915 (Refer Design Chart 14.3, Category 1) Q10 = C.10I10A / 360 = 0.915(108.42) 50.4 / 360 = 13.89 m3 / s From equation 20.2 for orifice flow and assuming an orifice discharge coefficient of 0.6 , Qriser = C0 A0 (2gH0)1/2 = 0.6 x (( x 0.92)/4) x (2 x 9.81x0.3)1/2 = 1.05 m3/s Therefore, allowing for the riser pipe flow required spillway capacity is Qspillway = Q10 - Qriser = 13.89 1.05 = 12.84 m3/s From equation 20.9, Qspillway = CspBHp1.5 Trial Dimensions : (from design chart 20.2) B Hp Csp Qspillway = = = = 7.111 9 0.6 1.70

Therefore, the total basin depth including the spillway is = y1 + y2 + HO + HP = 0.6 + 0.64 + 0.3 + 0.6 = 2.14 m
