1 Design Summary
The Yarra Glen Pipeline is a project intended to deliver water from the Goulburn reservoir to
the town of Yarra Glen. It is expected that 50GL of water will flow from the reservoir every
year and this flow rate will be constant for the life of the system. Other requirements
include a high-lift pump station (HLPS), which shall pressurise the water so that it can flow
to higher elevations. The pipeline shall be 70km long and shall follow a particular path. The
HLPS shall be powered by electricity from two substations at 33kV. In the event of an
emergency, the equivalent of two days of annual water flow will be stored in a steel tank or
steel tanks.
The scope of this report is to ensure the piping design is capable to fulfil the demand of
delivering water from the Goulburn River Pump Station to the storage tank located at the
Yarra Glen with a flow rate of 1585 L/s.
2.1 Background
Second phase: The characteristics of the fluid, flow rate and allowable head loss, design
codes and procedures, type of piping material and valves, mechanical equipment, distance
between the pump station to the water storage, pipe diameter, pipe wall thickness, stress
analysis and structural analysis. Finally, with the piping and instrumentation diagram.

4 Engineering Narrative
The design criteria of the pipeline characterize into two separate phases before progress
into the piping system design. As for the pipeline to transport 1585L/s, it could be
considered a high pressure service.
The first phase of the design is taking consideration on the geometrical coordination as the
pipeline is design to follow the route of the existing Sugarloaf Pipeline. The second phase of
the project is the output features from the Goulburn River Inlet and Killingworth pump
station such as flow rate, pressure and temperature has to take concern during the
transportation to the next high lift pump station. The sizing of pipe, Valve list, type of the
pump and piping material will determine the entire operation of the piping system and
efficiency in cost and work.
Metallic
Galvanized Steel
Galvanized Steel has the oldest history in plumbing industry history as majority of the
industry in the world used it as the piping material. It was the traditional material to
construct the piping system. Galvanized is a technology which give internal and external
protection to the metal pipe by total engagement in molten zinc. The use of galvanized steel
as a piping material is decreasing due to the internal and external corrosion. The problem is
due on the low flow rate of liquid and remain statics for a period of time cause the internal
corrosion. Galvanized Steel is a weighty material and it is generally joined by threading and
screwing which it only capable to sustain low pressure.
Copper
Copper is a more flexible material compare to galvanized steel in overall diameter and
installation. It has less weight, degree of corrosion and assemble such as compression
fittings, couplings, or brazing. Copper is a good material to handle hot water due to its
thinner wall section. A concern for designing piping system using copper is that the water
flows rate must not exceed 3 meters per second. If the water flow rate has surpassed the
limitation, high risk for the internal bore of the piping system will be eroded.
Cast Iron
Cast Iron is a suitable material for building a pipe to withstand high water pressure. It is a
quite historical type of material used in pipe manufacturing industry for the purpose in
transmission of water with high pressure. Most cast iron pipes are manufacture by using
either pit casing or spin casting. Unfortunately, cast iron has a poor record in piping industry
due to its low mechanical strength. It will break down fast as the external and internal of the
Jayanga Rajapakse 5
ENG30001 ENGINEERING DESIGN ACADEMY
cast iron pipe corroded in an aggressive behavior. Moreover, cast iron is a heavy material.
With not sufficient support to the pipe, structural failure and leakage will occur reasonably
fast.
Steel
Steel are the reasonably expensive as they have high tensile strength, compressive strength,
wide range of diameters and wall thickness, installation methods, manufacture and
corrosion protection system. Steel pipe generally made with carbon steel which give them
the characteristics to overcome high water pressure and variety of diameter sizing in pipe.
Steel pipe can be made using extrusion, welded and casting process. Among these
manufacturing process, Extrusion molding is the most expensive in return for its reliability.
Welding process is much less costly but unreliable for high pressure situations compare to
extrusion process. On the other hand, casting mold is not very common among pipe
manufacturing industry as the primary benefit of this method is the overall steel pipe
strength as these pipes will starting bending under abnormal pressure instead of sudden
crack under high pressure situation.
Non-metallic
Chlorinated polyvinylchloride (CPVC)
CPVC is a thermoplastics produced by polymerization of vinyl chloride with chlorination. It
was manufactured by extrusion methods with a limited range of 0.635 cm to 30.5 cm refer
to standard dimension ratio. The mainly usage of non-metallic material is due to its
resistance to corrosion and high tolerance to acids. In addition, CPVC has extremely light
weight for handling and transportation. It offers an operating pressure of 600kPa at a
temperature of 95 Celsius.
Polyethylene (PE)
PE has three groups which are high-density, medium density and low density PE. High-
density PE usually can withstand high temperature than PVC which it is apply in drainage in
human lives. It normally installs by electrofusion or butt fusion welding or compression type
joints for smaller diameter pipes and fittings. As a more flexible material than high-density
PE, medium density PE has thinner wall which supported it in resisting high internal
pressure. Is has the same joining method with high density PE. Low density PE can only
operate in low pressure condition but thanks to its high degree of flexibility. It is a suitable
material for the irrigation industry.
Jayanga Rajapakse 6
ENG30001 ENGINEERING DESIGN ACADEMY
more factors need to be consider such as material strength, ease of installation, high-flow
capacity, leak resistance, service life, reliability and versatility.
Strength Steel pipe has high resistance against internal and external pressure as the
minimum yield strength of most steel is 290MPa.
Ease of installation The modulus of elasticity of steel is 207Gpa. Grade C steel pipe has
high moduli, therefore the pipe ring is thinner. This is the factor that steel pipeline has high
longitudinal strength and smooth outer surface that steel pipe lends itself to connection by
micro tunneling.
High-flow capacity Low frictional in steel pipe.
Leak Resistance As steel pipeline could be connected by welding joints method which this
installation method provides leak-proof.
Service life Steel pipeline usually could serve for 70 to 100 years under normal
circumference.
Durability Steel, itself has high service life which mean it is a durable material. With the
use of coating and cathodic protection. The service life and durability of steel pipe to
corrosive outer environment and internal abrasion will increase.

Reverse Engineering
To fulfill the scope of the project, I began my task with another group mates to find
out how many pumps we are using and how much power we are provided. With a suitable
pump is selected and confirmation on the number of pumps. I have make an assumption in
an ideal state which shown on the above diagram 1.1 which provided by another group
member, Sabastian on the pump and software calculation. With the provided information
on the motor, I have use the flow rate to figure out the sizing of the pipe and valves sizing as
the below figure 1.2 shown.
Depth of understanding
The depth of understanding of the water behavior and pipe should be consider as
basic. With the future changing in calculation using software make me more confuse in
how to calculate the sizing of the pipe and the most technical thing is the drawing.
Recommended improvements
For the pump, we could use one strong pump. Future more, with the large landscape. We
could use multiple tank to store the water instead of one massive tank. Finally, it is the
requirement of the step up transformer tank to prevent the oil leakage spread around the
station
The pump that has been selected to pressurise the water is a Ruhrpumpen Horizontal Split
Jayanga Rajapakse 9
ENG30001 ENGINEERING DESIGN ACADEMY
Case Centrifugal Pump ZW 18x14x32. This particular type of pump was chosen for its ability
to handle very high flows and to provide very high amounts of head, as this application
requires. The pump is oriented horizontally as that is the direction in which the water must
predominantly travel. For safety reasons, we have a stand-by pump.
The selected pump is capable of producing the sufficient head required but only half the
flow rate. The appropriate arrangements for two identical pumps, in this case, is placing the
pumps in parallel. Placing two identical pumps in parallel will double the total flow rate of
the system, because 0.8 m^3/s is passing through each pump. With the second similar
pump, 0.8 m^3/s also passes through that pump, hence 1.6 m^3/s is flowing in total.
Jayanga Rajapakse 10
ENG30001 ENGINEERING DESIGN ACADEMY
The above plan will also include a stand-by pump and that pump will be activated in an
emergency. A large garage door will be in the HLPS, in order to bring any new pump inside
so it can be installed.
Unfortunately, Ruhrpumpen had yet to provide the physical dimensions of the pump, at the
time of writing this report, and there can be none listed in the report. But, the impeller
diameter (81cm) is taken to be the diameter of the flow out of each pump.
Each pump is 83.6% efficient and in total, it requires 6.1MW of power to elevate the water
by 300m. But Ruhrpumpen recommends motors producing at least 3.17MW per pump
(possibly to compensate for any frictional power loss in the shaft) and so the appropriate
motor size for each pump is 3.2MW, requiring a total of 6.4MW of electrical power for the
pump system.
Valves are mechanical devices that controls the flow and pressure within a system or
process. They are essential components of a piping system that conveys liquids, gases,
vapours, slurries etc.
Different types of valves are available, each of these types has a number of models, each
with different features and functional capabilities. Some valves are self-operated while
others manually or with an actuator or pneumatic or hydraulic is operated.
Some functions of the valves includes.

During the project, our Civil Engineer left the unit. Our group has been left without a Civil
Engineer to design the pipeline, relevant earthworks and the supports and foundations for
the steel storage tank. Hence, the following recommend actions, goals and tasks shall be set
for Civil Engineers, joining the project in the future.
The steel storage tank will be a closed cylinder. For two days of annual water flow, must
store at least 274ML of water. To minimise the amount of material required to make the
tank, calculus was used to find the lowest possible surface area of the cylinder. Minimal
surface area occurs when the height-diameter ratio is 1. The inside of the tank (to store the
water) is to be 71m tall and 71m wide. The maximum wall pressure is at the bottom of the
tank and is 800kPa. Using a 0.5 metre thick wall, hoop stress at this point is 56.8 MPa. Given
the the radius is 35.5m and its thickness is 0.5m, the water tank can be considered thin-
walled. Thick-walled cylinders have a wall thickness more than 10% of the tank radius, so
the formula for thin-walled hoop stress was used. The tensile strength for AIS1040 carbon
steel is 620MPa. Since hoop stress is a tensile stress, the tank can withstand the pressure of
71m of water.
Particular consideration must be paid to placing a large section of the tank underground but
such that the maximum head required for water to reach the top of the tank is less than the
maximum head required.
As stated by Tanzela (Visiting Civil Engineer), this is a very large tank. It would be less of a
problem with several smaller tanks, however surface area was the main consideration in the
tank design, but it can be seen how exclusively on surface area ignored more important
environmental concerns about constructing such a large tank. Concerns about its size,
concerns about the amount of earthworks required to place such a large tank.
However, in light of the above concerns, it is recommended that several smaller storage
tanks be designed to support the required capacity.
Mainly the supplied voltage of 33kV is dropped down to 6.6kV at the High voltage
substation with the performance of the high voltage transformer and this dropped down
Jayanga Rajapakse 25
ENG30001 ENGINEERING DESIGN ACADEMY
6.6kV voltage is directly driven to the High voltage switchboard of 6.6kV, which later used to
drive the pumps at the pump station via the variable speed drive units.
In the other hand, the initially dropped down voltage of 6.6kV is further dropped down to
400v at the Low Voltage substation with the aid of a Low Voltage transformer, which is in
contact with the Low Voltage 400Vwitchboard to power up the Safety systems, lighting
systems and the control systems of the entire plant
The control system is to control the whole station. PLCs are located at all substations and
the PLCs are connected to each other via the farLink wireless network to transmit to a
control centre. The control centre has a sequential program in operation and its linked to a
SCADA system to make it enable to be operated remotely.
1. General Arrangement
First, the placement of a single main power house containing all the substations and control
rooms was proposed as per convenience of networking, and maintenance. Also, it was rated
as a cost effective proposal.
Reflective Assessment
Assumptions
The source voltage of 33kV is present closer to the power station.
The Motor control centre (Pump station) is adjoined.
Issues raised.
Risk of placing the control units with transformer units.
Heat conduction and ventilation Issues.
Solutions suggested.
Constructing a blast wall surrounding the High Voltage and Low voltage transformer
units.
It was identified that the most of the heat generation would be from the
transformers and was directed to fix wind powered exhaust fans to eliminate the
heat directly out of the substations without heat being penetrating to the main
power station. In this manner there would be no heat hazard for the other control
systems operated inside the control rooms.
Therefore, considering all the concerns the following arrangement was submitted to the civil
Engineers along with the;
Dimensional data of each equipment.
Ventilation requirement of the each equipment.
Safety requirement by equipment.

Mainly the supplied voltage of 33kV is dropped down to 6.6kV at the High voltage
substation with the performance of the high voltage transformer and this dropped down
6.6kV voltage is directly driven to the High voltage switchboard of 6.6kV, which later used to
drive the pumps at the pump station via the variable speed drive units.
In the other hand, the initially dropped down voltage of 6.6kV is further dropped down to
400v at the Low Voltage substation with the aid of a Low Voltage transformer, which is in
contact with the Low Voltage 400Vwitchboard to power up the Safety systems, lighting
systems and the control systems of the entire plant.
Low voltage substation planted alongside with the High voltage station at a safer distance
apart and parallel to each other. This is particularly to be placed at a reasonable distance for
the convenience in cabling layout and maintenance purposes.
Safety of Substations
Its recommended that the Civil engineers to consider constructing blast Walls (red walls)
surrounding the transformers, as they are placed indoor adjoining to many other control
systems.
Further, the switchboards are placed along with the transformers at each substation, and
they require access regularly. Therefore it is advised that the transformers are separated at
a safe distance. In addition, maintenance requirements are also to be considered.
Access to water.

The pumps has a total 6.2MWA with a single pump at 3.1MWA. The transformer chosen
has the ability of producing 6.3MVA which emphasises its suitability for the application. It is
much accountable to handle low currents through cable at high voltages. Still, chosen to
operate at a lesser voltage of 6.6KV, as propriety was set to minimize the long term.

The High Voltage switchboard is also to be procured by the ETEL Company. The stepped
down voltage of 6.6kV is driven to the 6.6kV rated switchboard. The switchboard is secured
with ELCB, and each power outlet runs through a MCB. It operated at 50/60 Hz frequency
which satisfies the condition of the pumps. Power is drawn from three individual outputs for
the pumps, and the external main output is connected to the Low voltage transformer.

5. Cables Layout
This project is proposed to be completed with V-90 type cables. Absolutely, the cable
gauges would be different depending upon the current each section proposed to be carried.
Accordingly, the cable scheduling is attached listing respective characteristics of cables at
each section.
Promptly, given that there is no roof celling inside the building covering/sealing the roof,
civil engineers are informed to place hanged wire trays to navigate all the interior cables. It
was considered in the measure of easy maintenance and better ventilation of the cables for
maximum conductivity.
The two stations are attached together, so that no many cable are laid outside requiring for
an underground layout. Still, the earth wires are laid underground in conduits buried
24inces below the ground level.
The respective cable is been carefully determined upon the handling voltage and the power.
The different gauge of cables is proposed as per current that each path of cables conduct.
6. Lighting Arrangement
Then, in an event of a maintenance the square lights could be turned on separately from the
square switches located at the side corners of the building structure. The power supply is
navigation followed alongside the above mentioned cable layout. All the light fitting are
listed below.

The Hitachi Uninterrupted power supply unit is projected to an outright purchase due to its
availability. The proposed model is a 3 phase and has an input voltage of 240/400VAC and
Jayanga Rajapakse 31
ENG30001 ENGINEERING DESIGN ACADEMY
an output deliverable voltage of 110/120VAC. Its selected to have 10KVA giving the
privilege of powering up the entire Low Voltage switchboard in an event of a power failure
respective calculated power drain at present.
Step 1
First, the tanks level gauge sensor is active at all times. Control system keeps a regular check
on the tank level. Where the water level of the tank is 90% the control system will shut
down the pump centre.
When the water level drops below 20% the control system closes the tanks output water
delivery valve. In the event where the water level is less than 90% but more than 20% the
water delivery will not be interrupted.
Step 2
Where the water level is less than 90% the control system will be checking for the status of
the gate valves at Yarra Glen.
Step 3
If Opened, The pump station will be stated via the VSD systems. Given its closed, the system
will alarm for assistance.
Step 4
Whenever, the pump station is in operation the Flow rate sensor is active and the control
system keeps monitoring the flow rate and regulates the flow rate at a nominated value at
both the pumps.
Jayanga Rajapakse 32
ENG30001 ENGINEERING DESIGN ACADEMY
2. PLC Design
There are three PLC used to have control over the pumps by connecting the pumps VSDs
and control system to regulate the flow rate.
The PLC receives the speed of the motors at which they operates via the Flow rate sensors
as an analogue signal at port AI0, which is converted to a digital signal and transferred to the
control system. There the PLC converts it back to an analogue signal and send it through the
AO1. Similarly, the valves and the level gauge communicates to the control system via
secondary and tertiary PLCs at each sub locations.
3. SCADA SYSTEM
The SCADA (Supervisory control and data acquisition) is used to process control the
gathering of data in real time from remote locations in order to control the equipment
and conditions of the pump station.
The SCADA system sent all the information gather of all the systems to the control
system (Computers) via PLCs with the aid of the SCADA software. The SCADA system
analyses and display the updated status of the entire system, and could be operated
from elsewhere.
This enables every aspect of the station to be operated from elsewhere, which makes it
exclusively an automatically operated station.

Farlink is a long Haul and high reliable UHF point-to-point solution. The Farlink E, which is a
full outdoor system operates at 400MHz transmitting Ethernet data. This system is used to
combine the three sub locations namely, the Yara Glen gates and Storage tank to the main
control centre located at the Power station.
In this manner it enables to send and receive data from the gate valves status from Yara
Glen and the Water level information from the storage tank wirelessly, making it a one
whole network. Farlnik is capable of operating in a radius of 100km, and both the sub
stations of the proposed project is located in a radius less than 70km, which makes it
possible.
Advantages
Cost-effective;
Customizable traffic;
Automatic backup of channel groups based on BER, signal strength, and hardware
failure;
Future Improvements
In the future the system has the capability of adding up new sub location, which provides
the ability of adding new subs stations. Further, it has another operating system farLink P
that transmits both TDM and Ethernet Data, which could be upgradeable upon necessity.

ENG30001 ENGINEERING DESIGN ACADEMY
First, it was the idea was to use the automatic operated control valves along with pressure
sensors. This method had couple of issue as the mechanicals introduced the secondary
pump to the system. A single pump could have been easily operated with the aid of a
control valve and a pressure sensor via a solo PLC. Still, when two pumps are in operation it
was important that the control valves data to each other so that the output
flowrate/pressure in the pipe remain at a constant rate. Eventually, the study illustrated
that, this could not be achieved with the use of control valve, rather using VSD systems at
each pump enables to counter balance the flowrate at each pump by simultaneously
regulating the motor speed.
Cost Analysis
The drivers also enable saving in installation cost; switchgear is eliminated, motor cables are
reduced from 6 to 3 wires, power facto correction capacitors are not required, size and cost
of cabling and fuses could be minimized as the starting current is kept at nominal a value.
VSD selected is suitable for the HAVC applications where the speed control of motors from
the main supply to variable frequency and voltage enabling motors to be used with
maximum efficiency resulting in significant energy savings. The control keypad is to be
located two meters away.
The selected motor of VSD this designed to be used in HVAC environments, it enables fans
and motors to deliver water at such variable flow applications. Where the flow rate is
reduced the motor energy is significantly cut as the to control the relationship between flow
rate and the power flow that operate in a cube law, hence reducing flow by 20% reduces
power by 50%. It operates at 440VacThe PLC -VSD I/O configeration is shown below
Jayanga Rajapakse 35
ENG30001 ENGINEERING DESIGN ACADEMY
The tanks level gauge chosen LC-100 provides continuous level measurement in water. It
was important to find a device with spontaneous update, as the level gauge is prioritised in
the designed control system. It is capable of measuring the 4-20 mA analogue signal from
the sensor and communicating externally via Modbus. It has a six character digital
display combined with a 40 segment bar graph, reads in depth, volume or mass; has
alarms, status lights, and push button panel for programming the configuration interface
via a PLC.
The proposed tank is 70meters in depth and the objective was to find a level gauge that
operates in such depths. This LC-100 level gauge sensor has the ability of measuring the
water level at a maximum depth of 0-200meters, so it ideally suits for the purpose.
The level gauge sensor is submerged and installed leaving the controller fixed at the
control unit. The sensor is navigated to the bottom of the tank, aligned against the wall
of the tank. It is mounted to the wall at a distance using wall brackets considering the
optimal operation of the sensor.

effects due to climate, pollution, theft, vandalism, insects, mold and fire. Due to the speed
and totality of the destructive force of fire, it happens to be one of the more serious threats.
An uncontrolled fire can obliterate an entire room and its contents within a few minutes and
completely burn out a building in a couple hours.
A fire detection system is designed to sense smoke, excessive heat or fire to ensure an alert
is provided for a particular area of the building. The type of fire alarm system required
depends on the age of the building and the layout of the structure. Hence the Australian
Development Act of 1993 specifies that commercial and residential rental properties must
have smoke alarms installed in their structures. The smoke alarms must adhere to the
Australian Standard AS 3786 which outlines the minimum criteria required to appropriately
detect and alert in the event of a fire.
Considering all the factors, we came up with a system for our building. Multiple fire
detecting and alarm system will be installed including a fire hose reel along with fire
extinguishers. The whole system is connected with the control panel under VESDA fire alarm
system. Moreover, a 6 monthly routine service will also be conducted.
All the standards were followed and safety of the building and staff members was carefully
undertaken.
FIRE SPRINKLERS
For most fires, water represents the ideal extinguishing agent. Fire sprinklers utilize water
by direct application onto flames and heat, which causes cooling of the combustion process
and prevents ignition of adjacent combustibles. They are most effective during the fire's
initial flame growth stage, while the fire is relatively easy to control. A properly selected
Jayanga Rajapakse 37
ENG30001 ENGINEERING DESIGN ACADEMY
sprinkler will detect the fire's heat, initiate alarm, and begin suppression within moments
after flames appear. In most instances sprinklers will control fire advancement within a few
minutes of their activation, which will in turn result in significantly less damage than
otherwise would happen without sprinklers.
FIRE ALARMS
A fire alarm system has a number of devices working together to detect and warn people
through visual and audio appliances when smoke, fire, carbon monoxide or
other emergencies are present. These alarms may be activated automatically from smoke
detectors, and heat detectors or may also be activated via manual fire alarm
activation devices such as manual call points or pull stations. The alarm system used for the
building are two wall mounted siren alarms with alternating frequencies.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
A fire extinguisher is an active fire protection device used to extinguish or control small fires,
often in emergency situations. Typically, a fire extinguisher consists of a hand-held
cylindrical pressure vessel containing an agent which can be discharged to extinguish a fire.
Fire extinguishers manufactured with non-cylindrical pressure vessels also exist, but are less
common. A total of four fire extinguishers will be used.
The usual working pressure of a firehose can vary between 8 and 20 bar (800 and 2,000 kPa;
116 and 290 psi) while its bursting pressure can be up to 83 bar (8,300 kPa; 1,204 psi)
After use, the fire hose is should be hung to dry, because standing water that remains in a
hose for a long time can deteriorate the material and render it unreliable or unusable.

ENG30001 ENGINEERING DESIGN ACADEMY
All the instruments proposed for the project are from suppliers standardised at AS/NZs
4801:2001, regardless of it is newly manufactured or an outright purchase. First, we studied
the OHS policies and standards. Then designed and planned the proposal of the project with
respect to the quality standards and to satisfy OHS rules and conditions. Afterwards, the
evaluation of the implementations are to be standardised for confirmation.
Finally, all the deliverable are drafted approved. As a group we are highly satisfied with the
proposed designs at each every stage, and looking forward to address oncoming issue upon
construction.

The pump is 83.6% efficient, hence the amount of power needed will significantly rise. But,
according to the datasheet from Ruhrpumpen, 3,169kW is required per pump. Power
required is now 6.4MW.

Recommended improvements
Diagram 1.7 New calculation as the pump station is same level with the tank.
For the pump, we could use one strong pump. Future more, with the large landscape. We
could use multiple tank to store the water instead of one massive tank. Finally, it is the
requirement of the step up transformer tank to prevent the oil leakage spread around the
station.

7.1.1 Etc.
Though it was not specified in any particular standard, a rule of thumb for water tank design
was that the height-diameter ratio is between 0.8 and 1.3. The appropriate standard is the
API650. Below is the datasheet of the pump from Ruhrpumpen.
7.2.1 Calculations
For the development of the storage tank, a minimal surface is necessary to reduce the

amount of steel used. Assuming a closed cylinder, it was found the best ratio to minimise
surface area was 1.
Evidence:

V=275000 cubic metres

0.25 2
To find the optimal surface area, differentiate the surface area equation and make the
derivative equal 0.

So the optimal ratio is 1. The tank will be 71m in diameter and 71 metres tall.
Hoop stress:
In order to determine what hoop stress equation to use, the ratio between wall thickness
and tank radius must be found:

Or 56.8MPa.
