5.1 PIPED DRAINAGE SYSTEM – PRE-DEVELOPMENT

Total Catchment is 3105m2


Coefficient of Runoff

The coefficient of runoff for the existing site has been determined using light cover bush with a
high soil permeability (sand) for zero fraction impervious, giving a C10 value of 0.53.

Time of Concentration

Slope of catchment: Length 55m, fall 4m.
Therefore Slope = 4/55 x 100 = 7.3%
For average grassed surface n = 0.045
Using Friend’s Equation:
       t       = 107nL0.333/S0. 2
               = 107 x 0.045 x 55.333/7.30.2      =          12.3 minutes
However, adopt a time of 10 minutes.
