A Novel Method for Laying Sustainable Separate Sewer Systems
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has clearly stated that what was considered state-of-the-art sewage pollution control a century ago is no longer valid for today. This paper presents a new design, integrating the advantages of a combined sewer system and a separate sewer system into one system, to comply with 21st century requirements (sustainability, protection of public health, and reduced cost). One trench is used for two pipelines, a storm pipe on top of a sanitary pipe. Experimental tests were conducted in the laboratory installing two PVC pipes, one on top of the other. A series of loads have been applied to measure the behaviour of the new system when compared to the traditional method of laying a separate sewer system. This approach reduces the initial cost, footprint, and construction time. This method promises improved sewer drainage system performance as new technologies significantly affect future configurations of urban drainage management.
