Analysis and Design of Sump and Overhead Tank and Usage of Sensors in Residential Apartment in Nanganallur, Chennai.

Abstract

The Sumps and Overhead tanks are those Hydraulic structures that are used to store water, liquid petroleum, petroleum products and similar liquids. The force analysis of the tanks is about the same irrespective of the chemical nature of the product. All tanks are designed as crack free structures to eliminate any leakage. These structures plays a crucial role in storing water which can be used in various dayto-day activities mostly in urban regions especially in Residential apartments which happens to be this project.The Float Sensor unit is responsible for sensing the level of water and sound the alarm when the level of water is about to over flow or the tank is nearly empty. The presence of sensor unit helps in maintaining the level of water throughout the day and it also helps in uninterrupted supply of water in many commercial buildings and residential apartments.The necessity of water is rapidly increasing now-a-days and this situation cannot be helped only by increasing the source but also by saving the water from wastage. More water is wasted by over flow from tanks and this is due to human negligence. This can be avoided by the implementation of sensors. This is a small step towards the bright future.
