How deep are circulating water ponds usually dug?
Thread Content
There are indeed many problems with having graphic designers handle design work – they often lack the necessary understanding. I would like to ask experts: what is the typical depth range for circular water tanks? If I dig one that’s three or four meters deep, will people laugh at me? There are also accident ponds and fire ponds. . . . I hope experts will kindly share their insights~{:3_57:}
It depends on how much circulating water your entire system requires. Once you know that amount, and considering the space allocated to you, you can calculate the depth.
Thank you, I understand that. The problem is that the space available isn’t large, and to meet the water volume requirement I have to dig the ditch deeper; but I’m not sure if there’s a minimum depth limit for this {:3_57:}
I’m not mocking anyone; I’ve seen ones that are 4 meters deep, completely underground
Fire water tanks must never be placed underground; if they are placed underground, then installing the fire pumps will also require them to be installed underground as well
The depth just needs to be sufficient for the centrifugal pump to be able to draw water up; moreover, digging deeper incurs high construction costs, doesn’t it?
There is no standard specifying the depth of excavation, but the installation height of the circulation pump must be taken into account; otherwise, the pump will suffer from cavitation. If it goes too deep, the circulating water pump room may need to be built below ground level, which also results in high costs
Aren’t we going to dig this down? Is it something like building a pool on the ground?
Well, that’s good. I just remembered that a pool can also have walls built on the ground. . . What am I thinking about? It can be built a bit higher~
That makes sense; I hadn’t considered the installation of fire pumps at all. I need to pay attention to that. It’s not possible to go on the ground, but it seems bad to use the entire ground surface as well; a pool three or four meters deep is really scary, so it’s necessary to dig underground. There’s no other choice – the space is limited while the amount of water needed is large~
As a design worker, money isn’t something to consider; it’s the client who pays, so it has nothing to do with me. . . . . But it’s indeed necessary to check whether the pump has sufficient net positive suction head; I need to pay attention to that~ Thank you
