5.0 CONVEYANCE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN <br /> Conveyance analysis and design methods were selected per the City of Everett <br /> Stormwater Management Manual, Volume 1, Chapter 6 - Conveyance Systems <br /> and Hydraulic Structures. <br /> The conveyance system was designed for the 25-year, 24-hour storm event <br /> (precipitation rate = 2.60 in.), using the rational method with Everett IDF <br /> Tables. Per 6.4.1, the Uniform Flow Method (Mannings Equation) was <br /> performed to ensure that during the 25-year, 24-hour storm event, there would <br /> be a minimum of a half foot of freeboard between water surface elevation and <br /> the structure rim elevation. The conveyance analysis for the drainage system <br /> was completed using StormShed 3G. <br /> The tailwater elevation for Vaults A and B, as necessary for the HGL analysis, <br /> was set at the 25-year design water surface elevations of 443.32 and 438.43 <br /> feet respectively. During the 25-year storm, all headwater elevations within <br /> the system as designed remain more than a half foot below the catch basin <br /> grate elevations. The conveyance system is therefore adequately designed. <br /> Conveyance calculations and reports are included below. <br /> The vault discharge system is comprised of the primary flow intake(s), the <br /> vault detention volume, the vault outfall, the control structure and a control <br /> structure with overflow riser. The conveyance analysis for the vault discharge <br /> system was done as a Manning's equation evaluation of the most restrictive <br /> downstream pipe length, contrasted with having the flattest slope and the <br /> greatest unmitigated flow rates. <br /> Vault A Discharge Pipe: <br /> Diameter: 12" <br /> Minimum Slope: 0.6% <br /> Pipe Capacity: 3.99 cfs <br /> Maximum Flow: 2.83 cfs <br /> Evaluation: System Adequate <br /> Vault B Discharge Pipe: <br /> Diameter: 18" <br /> Minimum Slope: 0.55% <br /> Pipe Capacity: 11.28 cfs <br /> Maximum Flow: 6.98 cfs <br /> Evaluation: System Adequate <br /> Combined Discharge Pipe (Vault A and Vault B): <br /> Diameter: 18" <br /> Minimum Slope: 0.6% <br /> Pipe Capacity: 11.69 cfs <br /> July 2014 5-1 LDC Job No. 13-144 <br />
