Standard design solutions: schedule reduction and ease of implementation

Summary

The possibility and feasibility of using standard design solutions in the reconstruction of wastewater treatment facilities are considered. The conditions of the present day designing and requirements that projects should mandatorily meet are presented. The aspects that demand changes in the approach itself both to the initial stage of designing and to the technology of design engineering as a whole are considered. The adaptation of the ready-made standard solutions to the climate conditions, the layout of the treatment facilities, the applied equipment range is evaluated. The options of the layout of the treatment facilities are presented including the availability of several parallel process lines; the possibility of stage-by-stage commissioning is described. The broad range of edit decisions when executing big amounts of construction works is included. Ensuring the operational integrity, rigidity and long-term safety of constructions is emphasized. The attention is paid to the architectural appearance of the modern industrial buildings. A brief description of the wastewater sludge dewatering technology is presented. The relationship between the building footprint, amount of construction work and equipment of a big unit capacity is given. By the example of the building of mechanical sludge dewatering shop the technical and economic efficiency of using standard design solutions is calculated.
