Underground Water Sump Tank Installation | Leenus India

/ Uncategorized / By leenus

Installing an underground water sump tank is a smart solution for efficiently managing water resources, especially in areas prone to water scarcity or where space is limited. This comprehensive guide outlines the steps and considerations involved in the installation process

SITE SELECTION

Before starting the installation, carefully select the site for the underground water sump tank. Factors such as proximity to water sources, drainage, and accessibility for maintenance should be taken into account

Ensure that the chosen location is free from any underground utilities like gas lines or electrical cables

EXCAVATION

Excavate the area according to the required dimensions of the sump tank. The depth of excavation will depend on the size of the tank and local regulations

It’s essential to create a stable base and walls to prevent collapse during and after installation

TANK PLACEMENT

Lower the tank carefully into the excavated area using appropriate machinery or manual labor. Ensure proper alignment and levelness

Double-check the dimensions and orientation of the tank to avoid any complications later on

BACKFILLING

Once the tank is in place, backfill the surrounding area with suitable material, such as sand or gravel, ensuring proper compaction at each layer

Take precautions to avoid damaging the tank during the backfilling process

INLET AND OUTLET CONNECTIONS

Install inlet and outlet pipes according to the tank’s design and local plumbing codes

Use high-quality pipes and fittings to ensure durability and prevent leaks

VENTILATION

Proper ventilation is crucial to prevent the buildup of gases inside the tank. Install ventilation pipes or vents as per the manufacturer’s recommendations

LID INSTALLATION

Install a secure lid or cover over the tank opening to prevent contamination and ensure safety

Choose a lid that is strong, durable, and resistant to environmental factors

TESTING AND INSPECTION

Before putting the sump tank into operation, conduct thorough testing and inspection to check for any leaks, structural integrity, and proper functionality of inlet and outlet systems

Address any issues or concerns identified during the testing phase

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the efficient operation and longevity of the underground water sump tank

Inspect the tank periodically for signs of damage, sediment build-up, or other issues, and address them promptly

Keep the area around the tank clear of debris and vegetation to prevent obstruction and ensure accessibility for maintenance tasks

I made a region map for Three Stars Above Clouds’ interior! It's loosely based on both Five Pebbles and Looks to the Moon's region maps. (Note: I’m not a level designer, I have no idea if this would actually play well as a region, but I tried to connect the rooms in ways that made logical sense.)

Explanations/Notes about the different Subregions under the cut.

Subregions:

Memory Conflux: Self explanatory. Equivalent to the Memory Conflux rooms in Five Pebbles and Looks to the Moon. I made a mockup of what TSAC’s Memory Conflux rooms look like here.

Cognitive Nexus: TSAC’s equivalent of the General Systems Bus/Neural Terminus. I posted TSAC’s Cognitive Nexus and puppet chamber in a video here. (The music that plays in this subregion would sound similar to Energy as Matter by Software.)

Sequential Processing Syzygy: TSAC’s equivalent to the Recursive Transform Array/Abstract Convergence Manifold. (Syzygy: the linear alignment of three or more celestial bodies.)

Data Archives: Technically part of TSAC’s Memory Conflux, but this is where they store their pearls. The rooms feature boxes that have inaccessible pearls floating inside. The rooms are also very dark, and bolts of green electricity arc across the walls. (My logic here is that, in order to keep the pearls from fading, they need to be kept out of the light and continuously electrically stimulated.) The player would have to pay attention to the rhythm of the bolts and time their jumps right.

The Data Archives are in roughly the same position as Unfortunate Development in Five Pebbles, and serves a similar gameplay purpose: a high-risk-high-reward shortcut that gets you to the Cognitive Nexus much faster than going through the Sequential Processing Syzygy. There's an accessible colored pearl in one of the rooms that can be brought to TSAC's chamber to be read.

Intake Ducts: A one-way entrance connected directly to the Pump Station located in one of TSAC’s reservoirs. This is one of the pipes running through TSAC’s legs that supplies TSAC with water- the player is pushed upward by a very strong current into TSAC’s can (similar to Facility Roots - Western Intake in Outer Expanse and the connecting pipe in Outskirts).

This is another shortcut that lets the player bypass TSAC’s equivalent of The Leg and Underhang entirely. The path to the preceding karma gate is treacherous and requires very precise swimming, similar to the way Submerged Superstructure functions for all slugcats except Rivulet.

Connecting Regions:

Pump Station: Connected to one of TSAC’s reservoirs. This is a network of partially submerged pipes and tunnels, similar to Drainage System and Pipeyard’s Sump Tunnel. The player can enter one of the pumps to be pushed directly into TSAC’s can, provided they don’t drown.

Zenith: TSAC’s city, equivalent to Metropolis or Luna. Home to several tall observatory spires. (Zenith: the highest point on the celestial sphere.)

The Roost: TSAC’s equivalent of The Wall. Features a high volume of vultures and vulture grubs. TSAC’s roof is a mess of sticks and shrapnel, which the vultures use to make their nests.

Nadir: TSAC’s equivalent of Underhang. Connects to one of TSAC’s legs, which is attached to the nearby cliffside by a series of bridges and supports. (Nadir: the lowest point on the celestial sphere.)

Where is the doghouse?

Not only JP-7: the SR-71 could use JP-4 and JP-5 as emergency fuels but they both limited the Blackbird's top speed to Mach 1.5..

The SR-71 Blackbird was the first aircraft to use its own fuel for hydraulic fluid. It was called the fuel hydraulic system.

The legendary SR-71 Blackbird Mach 3+ spy plane was powered by two 34,000 lbf (151,240 N) thrust-class J58 afterburning turbojet engines. Each engine contained a nine-stage compressor driven by a two-stage turbine. The main burner used an eight-can combustor and the afterburner is fully modulating. The primary nozzle area was variable. Above Mach 2.2, some of the airflow was bled from the fourth stage of the compressor and dumped into the augmentor inlet through six bleed-bypass tubes, circumventing the core of the engine and transitioning the propulsive cycle from a pure turbojet to a turbo-ramjet.

The SR-71 was the first aircraft to use its own fuel for hydraulic fluid. It was called the fuel hydraulic system.

An engine-driven pump provided 1800 psi of recirculating fuel to accurate various engine components and then returned it back to the aircraft fuel system to be burned. Fuel was used in the actuators to control the afterburner nozzles, which maintain the proper exhaust gas temperature and control the thrust output. The fuel was also used in the engine actuators to shift the two-position inlet guide veins from their axial position to the cambered position and back again. This was just another of the many first-ever inventions of the-SR-71.

The J58 engine was hydromechanically controlled and burned a special low volatility jet fuel mixture known as JP-7.

Emergency fuels could be used in the SR-71 if the crew was low on fuel and had to use ANY tanker (as already explained the Blackbird relied on KC-135Q tankers [that could simultaneously carry a maximum of 74,490lb of JP-7 and 110,000lb of JP-4 for their own engines] but the SR-71 could also be refueled by standard Stratotankers in the event KC-135Qs were not available or if the Blackbird crew had to deal with an emergency situation) they could find to avoid the loss of the aircraft. The emergency fuels were JP-4 or JP-5 but they limited the Blackbird top speed to Mach 1.5. There were six main fuselage tanks. All 80,285 pounds of JP-7 fuel were carried in six main fuselage tanks. The tanks numbered one through six moved forward to aft (back) tank 6B It could hold 7,020 pounds of gravity-fed fuel and two tanks sumps. This was also called the “doghouse” and was located in the extreme back portion of the fuselage.

Fuel was the lifeblood of this fastest-manned airplane in the world. I found the following in a declassified CIA brief.

There it would first be used as hydraulic fluid at 600 F to control the afterburner exit flaps before being fed into the burner cans of the powerplant and the afterburner itself.

Cooling the cockpit and crew turned out to be seven times as difficult as on the X-15 research airplane which flew as much as twice as fast as the SR-71 but only for a few minutes per flight. The wheels and tires of the landing gear had to be protected from the heat by burying them in the fuselage fuel tanks for radiation cooling to save the rubber and other systems attached thereto. Special attention had to be given to the crew escape system to allow safe ejection from the aircraft over a speed and altitude range of zero miles per hour at sea level to Mach numbers up to 4.0 at over 100,000 feet.

The best way to know how you've screwed up is to pull the oilpan. That's not a metaphor: thanks to gravity, the exploding rotating assembly of your once-complete engine is likely to end up in the sump. From there, death glitter is sucked into the oil pickup and back up into the head, but it doesn't really matter at this point, because your car is running off of what scientists would call an external combustion engine.

Every time I've blown up an engine in the past, most of the big parts stayed where they were supposed to be. Sure, they'd lost a lot of weight as they were sheared into a million pieces of expensive confetti, but at the very least I could pull it off the car and throw it in the Tim Hortons dumpster in one chunk. Not so this last time at the drags, where a combination of 150-shot nitrous oxide, a heavy foot, and a fuel pump which may not be actually working turned most of my 360 V8's insides into outsides. The track guy was really unhappy at having to put down a bunch of kitty litter, even if I didn't finish my pass and hose down the entire lane because my asthmatic donkey of a car was maybe going at trotting speed at the time it blew up. I did it to help you, dude. Now please tow me back.

I am sure that, to the average person, nuking an engine like this represents a financial hardship. To me, it is a little worrisome that my hoard is reduced to only a few dozen engines, down one more to the point where the walls of the basement room can now be seen through the maze of Mopar mills. Many, many years ago, I too remember the pain of having blown up my first motor. It was very sad, this beautiful, intricate machine that I had smashed into bits, like a toddler with a family heirloom timepiece. I went through denial, and bargaining, and acceptance, and learned how to pull a junkyard engine and slam it into my garbage without worry.

This time, the most difficult part of the whole process was hosing off all the chunks of disintegrated single-slammer. I flat-towed it to my local you-spray-it car wash – what's it gonna do, blow the motor? – and gave it a bath. As the molten chunks of aluminum and iron seeped into the expensive, treated drain system, I could finally feel at peace. At least for four or five minutes, until the owner came out from his office, screaming. How insensitive. Doesn't he know I've just had a loss in the family?

[reactor-tech-ermine]

what can I do to help my mechanic not hate/scold me for cooking my mech? does it have something to do with piloting my enkidu?

uh, I don't have much info on the enkidu - HA denies the design exists so manuals are hard to find. But if what I hear is true, I think the safest thing you can do is stop. Tokugawas are bad because HA encourages their pilots to cook the reactor - Enkidu is worse because half the time the pilot doesn't realize they're doing it.

My second best advice to you is to invest in high capacity heat pump systems, or perhaps look into some of the ghengis' cooling designs. Also you can tweak the fuel blend for slightly more alpha output to reduce heat penetration into sumps which hold on to it and cause buildup in the core. Getting those particles absorbed on the surface of the shielding rather than deeper in the material should better allow it to be conducted away by the internal manifolds.

Manufacturer The Scott Motorcycle Company Production1938 -1939 Engine986 cc three-cylinder two-stroke SuspensionWebb girder front forks and DMW rear swinging arm Brakes8 in drums Tires3.25 x 20 front and rear Wheelbase60.5 inches (154 cm) Weight490 pounds (220 kg) (dry)

The Scott designer William Cull had been experimenting with three-cylinder two-strokes throughout the 1930s and had developed a prototype 747 cc engine. The Scott Model 3S which was unveiled at the 1934 Olympia Motorcycle Show[1] was a further development of this work, with the capacity enlarged to 986 cc and a four-speed gearchange. A notable feature of the Model 3S was the lubrication system, which had a throttle-operated pump drawing oil from the sump and delivering it to a geared pump, while a separate geared pump dealt with the return. Another unusual feature was that fuel was held in 'pannier' containers each side of the rear wheel so the apparent fuel tank was actually a dummy housing the instrumentation and control box (a feature later copied by the Honda Gold Wing). Only eight were produced before the outbreak of World War II. The final Model 3S is on display at the National Motorcycle Museum

Excerpt from this story from The Revelator:

Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge, located in far Northern California, harbors what remains of a once vast, shallow lake. On a recent April morning, I toured the area with John Vradenburg, supervisory fish and wildlife biologist for the Klamath Basin Refuges. A few months earlier, birds had all but abandoned Tule Lake. Now they were back in the thousands: clumps of eared grebes; dipping swallows; black-necked stilts with their impossibly spindly legs.

As we drove along the edge of the refuge’s largest wetland — evocatively called “Sump 1A” — pairs of Canada geese swam away from shore, followed by fluffy goslings. Vradenburg stopped the truck to rescue one that was trapped behind a headgate. He gently tossed the ball of fluff into the water, where it made a beeline for its two siblings.

A few yards later Vradenburg stopped again to point out a pair of western grebes. Facing each other, they took turns dipping their needle-like bills into the water, then shook them off. They were getting ready to dance, side by side, across the water — part of their spectacular courtship ritual.

“It’s just so good to see birds moving around in here again,” he said.

The Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuges are a complex of six refuges straddling the Oregon-California border — remnants of vast wetlands that once expanded and contracted with the seasons, breathing an almost unfathomable abundance of life into the dry region. A century or so ago, flocks of geese and swans darkened the sky. There were masses of white pelicans; hordes of grebes, ducks, and ibises; eagles and hawks in profusion. On Lower Klamath Lake, which sprawled nearly 100,000 acres, boats conveyed tourists from the Klamath River to the lake’s southern tip.

In typical early 20th century fashion, the Bureau of Reclamation remade the basin into a network of dikes, canals, drains, sumps and pumps called the Klamath Reclamation Project. Both Lower Klamath Lake and Tule Lake were drained to feed new farms established by homesteaders, including veterans returning from both World Wars.

To preserve what remained of the shrinking habitat, President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908 established the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge. At nearly 47,000 acres, it was the nation’s first wildlife refuge dedicated to waterfowl. The 39,000-acre Tule Lake refuge was established in 1928 to protect what was left of the drained expanse.

Though a fraction of their former splendor, these wetlands still serve as a vital stopover for the millions of birds that use the Pacific Flyway every year.

The region has always experienced periodic drought, but the past 20 years have been drier than usual, culminating in several years of extreme to exceptional drought. Between 2019 and 2022, the Lower Klamath and Tule Lake refuges received essentially no water. Wetlands like Sump 1A turned to cracked expanses of dry mud. The birds disappeared.

Now, thanks to two decent water years in a row and a surge of funding for restoration projects across the Klamath Basin, a new optimism about reconnecting this broken ecosystem has emerged.

Essential Steps in Water Damage Restoration

Water damage can wreak havoc on your property, leading to costly repairs and potential health hazards. Whether caused by natural disasters, plumbing failures, or human error, the impact of water damage can be extensive and devastating. Effective water damage restoration is crucial to mitigate these impacts and restore your property to its former state. Here are the essential steps involved in water damage restoration.

Assessment

The first step in water damage restoration is a thorough assessment of the affected area. Identifying the extent of water damage is critical to determine the necessary course of action. Quick assessment is vital as prolonged water exposure can lead to structural damage and mold growth. Professional restoration companies use advanced tools like moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden water damage.

Water Extraction

Once the assessment is complete, the next step is water extraction. Removing standing water as quickly as possible minimizes further damage to the property. Various methods and equipment are used for water extraction, including submersible pumps, wet vacuums, and industrial-strength water extractors. While DIY methods may be effective for minor leaks, professional extraction is recommended for significant water damage to ensure thorough removal.

Drying and Dehumidification

After water extraction, the affected areas must be dried and dehumidified to prevent mold and mildew growth. Techniques for effective drying include the use of high-speed air movers and industrial-grade dehumidifiers. These devices accelerate the evaporation process and remove moisture from the air. Monitoring humidity levels and adjusting equipment as needed ensures that the drying process is efficient and complete.

Restoration and Repair

Restoration and repair are essential to return your property to its pre-damage condition. This step involves repairing structural damage, such as replacing drywall, flooring, and insulation. Addressing mold and mildew is also crucial, as these can pose serious health risks. Professional restoration services use antimicrobial treatments and specialized cleaning techniques to eliminate mold spores and prevent future growth.

Prevention

Preventing future water damage is the final step in the restoration process. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can significantly reduce the risk of water damage. Here are some preventive tips:

Inspect and maintain your plumbing system regularly.

Ensure proper drainage around your property.

Install a sump pump in your basement.

Use water leak detectors and alarms.

Keep gutters and downspouts clean and functional.

Conclusion

Water damage restoration is a multi-step process that requires prompt action and professional expertise. By following these essential steps—assessment, water extraction, drying and dehumidification, restoration and repair, and prevention—you can effectively mitigate the impacts of water damage and protect your property. Taking preventive measures and being prepared can save you time, money, and stress in the long run.

Finding myself in a little bit of a lull fanfic-wise while I figure out how to plot chapter 3 of support systems. So I got some editing done on the novel! Neither feels like a lot got done, but a lot did, on both, because the stories are both in the "write down three words about a thing that happens and let it simmer" phase. And in both works, I wrote down three words each about quite a few things that will happen!

Trying to take house stuff one thing at a time for the moment. I have an appointment with another contractor tomorrow morning about the sump pumps; we'll see how it goes!
