Diseño de la tubería de conducción de agua para la junta administradora de agua del caserío Lacón de la parroquia San Bartolomé de Pinllo, cantón Ambato, 6+000km-12+000km

Abstract

The main objective of this titling project is the design of the drinking water pipeline of the Water Administration Board of the Lacon hamlet, in the section between km 6,000 and km 12,000 milestones, in the parish of San Bartolomé de Pinllo, Ambato canton. To this end, a detailed study was prepared that included a high-precision topographic survey, a complete hydraulic design, the analysis of the transient pressures caused by the water hammer and the verification of the regulatory parameters established by the National Institute of Environmental Studies (NTE INEN) 1108 and the MAATE guidelines. The hydraulic design was based on the Darcy-Weisbach formula, which allows for a better calculation of the pressure losses that occur in the system, considering the properties of the fluid, the material of the piping and the flow regime. It was established that the total pressure loss should not exceed 20 meters and that the available piezometric height guarantees continuous supply throughout the network. In addition, the analysis of overpressure due to water hammer was used, whose maximum value was 18.21 m. This played a key role in determining the pressure class of the pipe and integrating the hydraulic protection devices. The network simulation was designed with EPANET, and the topographic and longitudinal design was carried out with Autodesk Civil 3D, among other tools used to model the system. This confirmed the technical, hydraulic and economic feasibility of the proposed pipeline system. It is concluded that the design is effective, safe and adapts to the topographical conditions of the area and constitutes an efficient way to supply drinking water to the population of the Lacón hamlet, which will contribute to the sustainable development of the community
