INTRODUCTION

What is provision ?

• Action of providing something for use is called Provision.

3

LANDSCAPE

• Design of outdoor public areas, landmarks, and structures to achieve environmentaL or aesthetic outcomes.

PROVISION FOR SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

19

SOLID WASTE• Solid waste means any garbage, refuse, sludge from

a wastewater treatment plant, water supply treatment plant, or air pollution control facility and other discarded materials including solid, liquid, semi-solid, or contained gaseous material.

• Efficient collection and disposal of domestic garbage from a building or activity area is of significant importance to public health and environmental sanitation and, therefore, an essential part of the construction of the built environment

20

LABORTARY WASTE

• In laboratories for educational, research and medical institutions, handling mildly corrosive and toxic wastes, they may be neutralized in chambers using appropriate neutralizing agents.

• The chamber shall be provided with chambers at inlet and outlet for collecting samples of the incoming and outgoing waste for monitoring its characteristics.

21

Research laboratory waste• Research laboratories conducting research in all areas of

science and technology like chemical industry, pharmacy, metallurgy, biosciences, agriculture, atomic energy, medicine, etc, shall follow the established procedures laid down by statutory bodies to handle, treat and dispose wastes which are highly toxic, corrosive, infectious, inflammable complex organic and inorganic chemicals.

• Such wastes shall not be disposed off the city sewerage system unless they are pretreated and meet the disposal criteria in accordance with the relevant rules/regulations.

22

INFECTED WASTE

• Infected liquid wastes are generated in hospitals from patient excreta; operation theatres; laboratories testing samples of stools, urine, blood, flesh; etc which shall not be disposed off into the drainage system.

• Such waste shall be collected separately and pretreated before disposal into the building drainage system.

23

INFECTED WASTE

• Soiled and linen from infectious patients needs to be collected from the respective areas of the hospital in separate linen bins and prewashed and sterilized in the laundry before final wash in the hospital laundry.

• Liquid wastes from the washing operations shall be neutralized to prevent any cross contamination before disposal in the building′ drainage system.

24

RADIOACTIVE WASTE

• Scientific research institutions, hospital and many types of manufacturing processes use radio active material for their activities.

• Manufacture, sale, use and disposal of radio active material is regulated by the statutory rules and regulation.

• Proposal for usage and disposal of radio active materials shall be done in consultation with and prior permission of the Authority.

25

GREASE TRAPS• Facturing units having a high content of oil and

greases in their final waste.• Waste exceeding temperature of 60° C should not be

allowed in the grease trap.• When so encountered it may be allowed to cool in a

holding chamber before entering the grease trap.• .In principle the grease laden water is allowed to retain

in a grease trap which enables any solids to be settled or separated for manual disposal

26

OIL INCEPTERS• Oils and lubricants are found in wastes from vehicle

service stations, workshops manufacturing units whose waste may contain high content of oils for example, petroleum, kerosene and diesel used as fuel, cooking, lubricant oils etc that are lighter than water.

• Such oils have a low ignition point and are prone to catch fire if exposed to any flame or a spark and may cause explosion inside or outside the drainage system.

27

OIL INCEPTERS

• Lighter oils and lubricants are removed from the system by passing them through an oil interceptor/petrol gully.

• Chambers in various compartments which allow the solids to settle and allow the oils to float to the top.

• The oil is then decanted in separate containers for disposal in an approved manner.

• Oil free waste collected from the bottom of the chamber is disposed in the building drainage system.

28

MANHOLE• A manhole or inspection chamber shall be capable of sustaining

the loads which may be imposed on it, exclude subsoil water and be watertight.

• The size of the chamber should be sufficient to permit ready access to the drain or sewer for inspection, cleaning and rodding and should

• Where the depth of the chamber so requires, access rungs, step irons, ladders or other means should be provided to ensure safe access to the level of the drain or sewer.

• If the chamber contains an open channel, benching should be provided having a smooth finish and formed so as to allow the foul matter to flow towards the pipe and also ensure a safe foothold.

29

MANHOLE

• No manhole or inspection chamber shall be permitted inside a building or in any passage .

• Where the diameter of a drain is increased, the crown of the pipes shall be fixed at the same level and the necessary slope given in the invert of the manhole chamber.

30

• Internal diameter of the chute shall be at least 300mm.

• The access to the refuse chute shall be provided from well ventilated.

• Opening, with top or bottom hinged shutters with appropriate lockable latch, shall be provided for convenient accessing of the refuse chute by users.

31

Material for chute

• The chute may be of masonry or suitable noncorrosive material.

• Further the material should be rigid with smooth internal finish, high ductility and alkali/acid resistant properties.

32

Refuse collection chamber

• The collection chamber may be located in ground floor or basement level, provided appropriate arrangement is made for

(a) drainage of the collection pit by gravity flow to ensure its dryness, (b) and appropriate ramp access is provided for convenient removal of

garbage from the collection pit, (c) satisfactory ventilation for escape of gas and odour. • The floor of the chamber shall be provided with drainage through a 100mm

diameter trap and screen to prevent any solid matters flowing into the drain and the drain shall be connected to the sewer line.

• The floor shall be finished with smooth hard surface for convenient cleaning..

• The collection chamber shall be provided with appropriate shutter to prevent access of all scavenging animals like the cattle, dogs, cats, rats,

33

Size of trolley

• The size of the garbage trolley shall be adequate for the daily quantity of garbage from a chute.

• For working out quantity of garbage, a standard of approximately 0.75 kg/person may be taken.

34

DUMB WAITER

• In high rise buildings with more than 8 storeys, electrically operated dumbwaiters may be used for carrying domestic garbage in packets or closed containers.

• For handling of garbage by dumbwaiters Garbage chamber shall have to provided either at ground floor or basement level and the provisions of garbage collection chamber for chute.

35

Sorting of garbage to remove toxic matters from

garbageBefore feeding the garbage to compost pits the following objects need to be removed:a. Inert matters like glass, metals, etc;b. Chemicals, medicines, batteries of any kind;c. Polythene and plastic materials; andd. Any other non biodegradable material.
