General drainage plan
A general drainage plan (GEP) represents the wastewater concept for a catchment area and serves as a framework for detailed projects. Usually a GEP is created for a municipality or a special purpose association ; there is no binding definition.
A GEP has u. a. the following tasks:
- Evidence that the wastewater disposal complies with legal requirements, such as environmental regulations
- Rehabilitation concept for the existing sewage system
- Effects of an additional new building / commercial area
- Planning basis for future expansion
To create a GEP, you need the data of the existing sewer network . On this basis, the GEP is derived using calculation and simulation methods (dirt load calculation, time coefficient method, etc.).
