The pumpset foundation shall be sufficiently strong for its load. It shall be sufficiently strong and heavy for suppressing any vibrations.

b.

In the analysis, groundwater conditions and potential external loadings shall be considered. ii. The required factors of safety (FS) for slope stability are 1.5, 1.2 and 1.1 for normal groundwater conditions, 10-year return period rainfall and the worst groundwater conditions respectively. iii. For natural slopes or existing manmade slopes more than 10 years old, the minimum values of the aforesaid FS may be reduced to 1.2, 1.1 and 1.0 respectively. iv. v. vi. For new and existing rock slopes, the above respective FS in clause ii and iii shall be applied. Geological mapping and interpretation shall be carried out to analyse the stability of rock slopes. The modes of potential failures such as wedge, toppling and/ or plane failures shall be identified and suitable rock supports shall be provided as suggested in Table 3.10. vii.

For electric motor driven pumps, the weight of an independent foundation shall be at least three times more than the machine kerb weight of the pumpset. When anti-vibration material such as rubber, spring etc; is used between the common base plate for pump and the prime mover, and the foundation, the weight of foundation can be reduce to half of the standard weight. Where any pipe of the pumping system passes through a building wall, pipe bellow or anti-vibration material shall be employed to prevent the vibration from transmitting to the building.

iv.

Apart from depth, the size of foundation plinth shall have a minimum border of 100 mm to 150 mm all round while the top of the plinth shall be 100 mm to 150 mm above the floor. The concrete mix for the plinths shall be Grade 25.

METERING
GENERAL g. a. b. c. In general, water supply for different premises and for different uses shall be metered. The need to have a meter and its location shall be determined by SYABAS. All supplies to fire hydrants and other fire fighting devices installed in a consumers premises or within its compound shall be metered. For multi-unit premises, water is supplied through bulk meters which measure the total volume of water measured by sub-meters fixed at the individual units. The registered consumer for the bulk meter shall be responsible to pay for the water charges based on the difference between the registered consumption of the bulk meter and all the sub-meters, including leakages. d. e. f. Water meter locations as approved by SYABAS will be supplied and maintained by SYABAS and will remain the property of SYABAS. The consumer shall be solely responsible for the safe custody of the meter. Individual metering shall be carried out at multi-unit residential premises and subject to SYABAS approval. However, the Developer/ Management Corporation shall sign an agreement with SYABAS to ensure that the Developer/ Management Corporation will operate and maintain the water supply systems after the bulk meter and to pay the bill difference between the bulk meter amount and the sum of the individual meters amount. 5.4 5.3

disconnect. A meter should preferably be installed in a box recessed into the wall and shall not be at the corridor that will affects human traffic flow. Site verification with SYABAS is necessary before meter stand installation. For meters laced in shaft or boxed in chambers, sufficient natural light must be available for ease of reading. Alternatively, electrical lighting shall be provided.

SIZES OF METERS The size of mechanical water meter for each premises shall be determined based on the water flow rates and water usage as shown in Table 5.1. Table 5.2 shows the size details of electro-magnetic water meter.

AUTOMATIC METER READING SYSTEM (AMR) The use of AMR is encouraged as it provides enhanced security, privacy, accuracy and timeliness in meter reading. This is particularly useful in the following area: High rise condominium and flats. Gated community. High security areas such as prison, police complexes.

For developer who opts for AMR shall pay for the installation of the AMR system including the AMR meter. The proposed AMR system shall be approved by SYABAS prior to 5.2 LOCATIONS OF METERS a. b. c. d. e. f. The location of a meter shall be determined by SYABAS. The meter shall be installed in such a position that it should be unobstructive and can be easily accessible for meter installation, meter reading and maintenance. For multi-storey premises, meters shall be installed on the ground floor and arranged according to levels in ascending order and marked with address plates. For residential premises, all individual meters shall be installed in front but outside the fencing of premises. All bulk meters for apartment, flat, factory, condominium and school shall be placed within the fenced compound area and near the guardhouse or entrance gate. Meters shall be centrally placed at each floor or in front of the units and at locations which are easy to access and read (eye level with sufficient lighting) and to
