Hydrology Study of a Housing Society and Design of a Building

Abstract

The hydrology study is a crucial aspect of the project. It entails a comprehensive analysis of the site's hydrological characteristics, including rainfall patterns, water sources, and drainage systems. The study aims to assess potential flood risks, soil erosion, and water resource management. The ongoing housing society projects in Pakistan are not properly catering storm water drain system in design which results in flooding of the area especially in monsoon season, causing material and life losses. This project undertook Hydrology study of a real time ongoing housing society as case study and carried out detailed analysis based on past precipitation data. We carried out Hydrology study for drainage of maximum intensity of storm water with least cost covering 30 years precipitation data of the case study project. We compared the results of our study with the drainage plan of the project to validate it. The results showed that the drainage plan has the said housing society effectively covers surface runoff drainage water. The next phase involved the design and planning of a commercial building. The objective is to create a modern, functional, and aesthetically pleasing structure that caters to the commercial needs of the community. The design considers factors such as accessibility, and sustainability, ensuring that the building complements the surrounding environment and adheres to all local regulations and safety standards. In addition to above, this project has been modeled in Primavera p6 up to 5D (3D model plus time and cost).
