Modelación hidráulica de la red sanitaria de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana – Sede Quito, Campus Sur

Abstract

This degree work deals with the modeling of the sewerage system of the Salesian Polytechnic University – Quito Campus, South Campus, of which previously no technical data were known since an evaluation of its operation had never been carried out, nor was the current state of its structures known. The modeling was carried out using the SewerGEMS program due to its tools which facilitated the entry and modification of information, from which the operation of the network was simulated in order to obtain results of the hydraulic behavior of the system. To obtain data, it was decided to request topographic and architectural information from the Document Management area of the university, to later carry out a registry of wells and review boxes, from which dimensions that were entered into the program were obtained, as well as important information on the state of their internal structures. The obtaining of supply flows to the collectors was carried out through a probability of use for the sanitary flows and with the rational method for the flow from rainwater. With the modeling, different scenarios were evaluated, under different conditions from which results were obtained that were compared with each other, in order to analyze a redesign that with the least possible changes guarantees a better functioning of the sewerage system. Finally, after the simulation of the redesigned system, it was possible to conclude that the proposed improvements are sufficiently adequate to operate under return times even greater than that recommended by the Sewerage System Design Standards for the EMAAP-Q, however it was determined that there are areas where important works are required that require a considerable investment of resources due to their construction characteristics. as well as some sections that have an adequate operation without the need for a redesign.
