American Society of Civil Engineers
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is a tax-exempt professional body founded in 1852 to represent members of the civil engineering profession worldwide.

Cast iron pipe
Cast iron pipe is a pipe which has had historic use as a pressure pipe for transmission of water, gas and sewage, and as a water drainage pipe during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Combined sewer
A combined sewer is a sewage collection system of pipes and tunnels designed to also collect surface runoff.

Corrugated galvanised iron
Corrugated galvanised iron or steel (colloquially corrugated iron (near universal), wriggly tin (taken from UK military slang), pailing (in Caribbean English), corrugated sheet metal (in North America) and occasionally abbreviated CGI) is a building material composed of sheets of hot-dip galvanised mild steel, cold-rolled to produce a linear corrugated pattern in them.

Culvert
A culvert is a structure that allows water to flow under a road, railroad, trail, or similar obstruction from one side to the other side.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Culvert · See more »
Ditch
A ditch is a small to moderate depression created to channel water.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Ditch · See more »
Drain-waste-vent system
In modern plumbing, a drain-waste-vent (or DWV) is part of a system that removes sewage and greywater from a building, and regulates air pressure in the waste-system pipes to aid free flow.

Feces
Feces (or faeces) are the solid or semisolid remains of the food that could not be digested in the small intestine.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Feces · See more »
Frost line
The frost line—also known as frost depth or freezing depth—is most commonly the depth to which the groundwater in soil is expected to freeze.

Gravity
Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy—including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light—are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another.

Headworks
Headworks is a civil engineering term for any structure at the head or diversion point of a waterway.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Headworks · See more »
Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes in the period from about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840.

Masonry
Masonry is the building of structures from individual units, which are often laid in and bound together by mortar; the term masonry can also refer to the units themselves.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Masonry · See more »
Outfall
An outfall is the discharge point of a waste stream into a body of water; alternatively it may be the outlet of a river, drain or a sewer where it discharges into the sea, a lake or the like.

Plastic pipework
Plastic pipe is a tubular section, or hollow cylinder, made of plastic.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Plastic pipework · See more »
Precast concrete
Precast concrete is a construction product produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold or "form" which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and lifted into place ("tilt up").

Pumping station
Pumping stations are facilities including pumps and equipment for pumping fluids from one place to another.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Pumping station · See more »
Reinforced concrete
Reinforced concrete (RC) (also called reinforced cement concrete or RCC) is a composite material in which concrete's relatively low tensile strength and ductility are counteracted by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength or ductility.

Sanitary sewer
A sanitary sewer or "foul sewer" is an underground carriage system specifically for transporting sewage from houses and commercial buildings through pipes to treatment facilities or disposal.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Sanitary sewer · See more »
Sewage
Sewage (or domestic wastewater or municipal wastewater) is a type of wastewater that is produced from a community of people.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Sewage · See more »
Sewage treatment
Sewage treatment is the process of removing contaminants from wastewater, primarily from household sewage.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Sewage treatment · See more »
Storm drain
A storm drain, storm sewer (U.S. and Canada), surface water drain/sewer (United Kingdom), or stormwater drain (Australia and New Zealand) is designed to drain excess rain and ground water from impervious surfaces such as paved streets, car parks, parking lots, footpaths, sidewalks, and roofs.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Storm drain · See more »
Sump
A sump (American English and some parts of Canada: oil pan) is a low space that collects often undesirable liquids such as water or chemicals.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Sump · See more »
Surface runoff
Surface runoff (also known as overland flow) is the flow of water that occurs when excess stormwater, meltwater, or other sources flows over the Earth's surface.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Surface runoff · See more »
Terracotta
Terracotta, terra cotta or terra-cotta (Italian: "baked earth", from the Latin terra cocta), a type of earthenware, is a clay-based unglazed or glazed ceramic, where the fired body is porous.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Terracotta · See more »
Turbulence
In fluid dynamics, turbulence or turbulent flow is any pattern of fluid motion characterized by chaotic changes in pressure and flow velocity.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Turbulence · See more »
Vacuum sewer
A vacuum sewer or pneumatic sewer system is a method of transporting sewage from its source to a sewage treatment plant.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Vacuum sewer · See more »
Vitrified clay pipe
Vitrified clay pipe (VCP) is pipe made from a blend of clay and shale that has been subjected to high temperature to achieve vitrification, a process which results in a hard, inert ceramic.
New!!: Gravity sewer and Vitrified clay pipe · See more »
Working animal
A working animal is an animal, usually domesticated, that is kept by humans and trained to perform tasks.
