For any construction process, it is very important to follow the rules and established standards. According to the requirements of SNiP, drainage must be located at a certain distance from the building, and its device must meet all technical standards.
What is SNiP?
SNiP is an abbreviation derived from "Building Norms and Rules". According to these codes, the requirements of various organizations for the implementation of sewerage, drainage, various buildings and other engineering structures are determined. The SNiP takes into account the ergonomic, economic, architectural, technical characteristics that must be met.
Why comply with SNiP if sewerage, drainage or any other communication works like this:
- Any construction must be legalized, whether it is the construction of an extension near the house or the laying of a sewer pipeline. If you did not comply with the norms that were announced in the regulatory document, then the project will not be legal. State organizations can force you to rebuild the pipeline or even fine you;
- SNiP not only helps to build drainage systems correctly, but also contributes to certain savings. The document identifies many ready-made solutions for designing a drainage system, which are the least expensive for the owner;
- Communication performed according to certain standards is more effective and durable. It is less susceptible to the negative effects of groundwater, seal failure or other factors.
What should be in the project
Before starting any construction, it is necessary to develop a drawing. According to the requirements of SNiP, the foundation drainage project should include:
The resulting scheme will help to calculate the cost of materials, develop estimates and approve the project in certain government agencies. In addition, according to SNiP, wall drainage of the foundation also takes into account the general slope of the site, the amount of average annual precipitation, the level of freezing of the earth and groundwater.
The next step is to install a drainage system according to the scheme.. Regardless of whether a closed or open drainage system is used, the following operations must be performed before installing the drain:
geometric design
Installation of the drainage system is also carried out according to certain rules. The design of the system is controlled not only by SNiP, but also by GOST 1839-80. What is specified in the regulations:
During the installation of drainage, the location of other communications must also be taken into account. With an allowable pipe height of 50 mm, it is necessary that the distance between the underground wire of the electrical network (if any) or the sewer is about 150 mm.
