    1.0 Acknowledgement

    We are very grateful to God for allowing us to complete this assignment on

    time and achieve its target. We are indebted to many people with their help and

    guidance in the preparation of this assignment. A special thanks to our beloved

    lecturer En. Syed Abdul Fatah Syed Yusoff who had helps us the most and

    encourages us in completing the assignment. Special thanks also dedicated to the

    Built of Environment technicians that had provided us with all the information and

    material about the Surveyor Building. Furthermore, we also want to thanks to our

    course mates for their commitment and help in completing the assignment. Last but

    least, to our family, we will always do the best for you. Without all your help we would

    not be able to complete this task successfully. Thank you very much.

    2.0 Introduction

    2.1 Rain water discharged system

    Having a good knowledge of rainwater discharge system is essential in any

    building construction to prevent unwanted disaster such as mudflow, flood or building

    structure damage. This system is used to collect and discharge rain water or surface

    water from building to drain and then the river .

    There are three types of rain water discharged systems available; separate

    drainage system, combined drainage system and partial drainage system.

    The separate drainage system separated the foul water and the rain water.

    The foul water will go into the drain that carries sewage and trade effluent, to the

    men hole. But rain water would flow into the drain that carried rainwater as it goes

    directly into a watercourse before going into the river.

    The combined drainage system has one drain that carries both foul and

    surface water into the men hole

    The partial separate system conveyed most of rain water into surface water

    sewer and less costly by doing isolated inlet connection .

    To ensure liquids go into the right drainage system, it's essential to identify

    every gutter, manhole, drainage grill or gully on site as either connected to foul,

    surface water or combined drains.

    An improperly functioning gutter can contribute to water and ice backing up

    against fascias and under roof shingles, damage soffits, and can discolour or

    deterioratesidingmaterials. Besides that, faultygutterscanalso lead tosoil erosion

    adjacent to buildings and serious water and foundation displacement problems in

    basementsandcrawl spaces.

    Gutters should be sloped a minimum of 1 inch for every 40 feet of run.

    Other than keeping gutters clean of leaves, pine needles, and debris, gutter

    maintenance usually involves refastening hangers that have become unfastened,

    repairing broken hangers, or adding new hangers where hanger spacing was

    excessive. Hangers come inavarietyof types, includinghangerandstrap, hanger

    andbracket, spikeand ferrule, andconcealedhanger(below).

    Nowadays, concealed fastenersarebecomingpopularbecause theyareeasy

    to install, arenot visible, relativelystrong, allow thegutters toexpandandcontract,

    and come in a variety of sizes and configurations. Other maintenance and repair

    items include keeping gutter anddownspout screens in place, refastening leaders,

    ain water down pipe is a pipe which used to collect and store the rain water

    from top of roof to drainage. As with gutters, the materials used for rain water pipes

    should be of adequate strength and durability and firmly fi ed without restricting

    thermal movement. All pipe joints inside a building should capable of withstanding

    the air tightness test for underground drainage. Figure . shows some e lements of

    opening to an underground utility vault used to house as an access point for

    undergroundworksandotherservices includingsewers, telephone, electricity, storm

    drains and gas. It is protected by a manhole cover, a plug designed to prevent

    accidental or unauthorized access to the manhole. Manholes are usually outfitted

    surface will drain to surface water sewer or soak away. he foul sewerorsanitary

    sewer also known as the domestic and industrial wastewater sewer. his sewer

    5.0 P OBLEMS ND ISSUES

    After completing the study, we know that the Survey Building in Faculty of

    Built Environment, University Malaya is using separate rainwater discharge

    system. his is inordertoreduce the treatment cost at processing plant.

    By using this separate system also, we can prevent flooding and prevent

    manhole fromoverloading. ealsonotice that the Survey Building isusingbigdrain.

    his isbecause thesuitablesizeof thedrain is important tosupport thewaterand

    rainquantity that will flow through thedrain.

    In addition, the Survey Building in located at a sloping site, thus the rain

    water flow in thedraincouldspeed fast and flow inabigquantity. hereforebigsize

    of drainage is really suitable to this situation plus it can avoid flooding in that

    compound.

    hemainproblem that occurs in the faculty is thedrainandsumphasa lot of

    rubbish inside, especially near the canteen part. e can observe that there were

    many plastic bags, tissue papers andPVC food con tainer. hose itemare not bio

    degradableas it will stayat thedrainandsump fora longperiod ifnoonecleans it .

    Even thoughwehave largedrains for thebuilding, but it isnot impossible for

    flood tooccurbecause therainwater isnot discharge inaproperway.

    6.0 CONCLUSIONS

    Theorganization inchargeshouldhavea frequentlycleaning for thedrain. It

    isnecessaryso that thedrainwouldnot stuckbecause University Malaya is located

    in themiddleof Kuala umpur and we all knowhow Kuala umpuroften strike by

    heavy flood.

    ocated near the equator, Malaysia's climate is categorized as equatorial,

    being hot and humid throughout the year. Annual rainfall exceeds 2000mm a year

    and theaverage temperature is 27 degreesCelsius. Thisstatement also influences

    thereasonwhy Survey Building isusingseparatesystemandbigdrain. Therefore it

    isclear that theseparatesystemused in Survey Buildingreallysuit therequirement

    of thebuilding. Even though the installationcharge isexpensive, the treatment cost

    ischeapand it isgood forlong termperiod.
