Proposta de dimensionamento para sistema de drenagem pluvial: estudo de caso do Condomínio Chácaras Copaíba III em Uberlândia/MG

Abstract

The rapid expansion of the municipality of Uberlândia in Minas Gerais culminated in the emergence of several housing developments around the urban center, among which is the Chácaras Copaíba III Condominium, where the absence of paving and, mainly, of rainwater drainage infrastructures, causes problems such as the accumulation of water on the road, erosive processes, and disturbances to the local residents. With this in mind, the present work aimed to propose a rainwater drainage system suitable to the local conditions, in order to mitigate the impacts arising from the runoff of rainwater on the only road that crosses the condominium. For this, physiographic data were collected in locu, together with a bibliographic survey for later dimensioning of a structure capable of collecting and conducting rainwater efficiently and safely. Thus, through the calculated parameters, the proposition of a drainage system composed of a pair of gutters connected to a junction box that in turn are connected to HDPE pipes was reached, which direct the collected flow to the discharge point. Thus, the proposed structure demonstrates the capacity to remedy the problems arising from the runoff of water along the road that crosses the condominium.
