Estimation & rate analysis of a septic tank.( Part-1)/ How to estimate the different items in a septic tank?

 Let us estimate the brick masonry septic tank as shown below.




1. Excavation:

Volume of excavation

   = [length × breadth × depth]

Here, the length & breadth of excavation is the same as that of PCC.

  = [ 11ft. × 7.5ft. × 6.75ft.]

  = 556.88 cu ft.


2. PCC:

Given data:

The extra length of PCC on all 4 sides of the septic tank is 6" (0.5ft.)

Length = 11ft.

Breadth = 7.5ft.

Thickness= 5" = 0.416 ft.

(As 1ft. = 12 inches)


Volume of PCC

 =  [length × breadth × thickness]

 = [ 11ft. × 7.5ft. × 0.416ft.]

 = 34.32 cu ft.


3. Brick masonry:

  a.  9" thick outer wall:

  Given data:

Length = 10ft.

Width = 9" = 0.75 ft.

(As 1ft. = 12 inches)

Height = 6ft.


Let us find the vol. of brick masonry by the longwall short wall method.

The volume of the longwall

=  [2nos.×( length × width × height)]

= [2nos. × ( 10 ft. × 0.75 ft. × 6 ft.)]

= [ 2nos. × 45 cu ft.]

= 90 cu ft.


The volume of the short wall

=  2nos. × [{ length} × width × height]

= 2nos. × [{6.5 ft.- (2nos.× 0.75 ft.)}  × 0.75 ft. × 6 ft.]

=  2nos. × [{5 ft.} × 0.75 ft. × 6 ft.]

=  2nos. × [ 22.5 cu ft.]

= 45 cu ft.


The total volume of 9" thick. brick wall

= the volume of { longwall + short wall}

= {90 cu ft. + 45 cu ft.}

= 135 cu ft.


b.  4" thick inner partition walls:

Baffle wall-1

The volume of the baffle wall-1

=  [ {length} × width × (height)]

= [{ 6.5 ft.- (2nos.× 0.75 ft.)}  × 0.33 ft. × (6 ft. - 1.5 ft.)]

= [{5 ft.} × 0.33 ft. × (4.5 ft.)]

= 7.425 cu ft.


The volume of wall 2

= [ {length} × width × height]

 = [{6.5 ft.- (2nos.× 0.75 ft.)}  × 0.33 ft. × 6 ft.]

= = [{5 ft.} × 0.33 ft. × 6 ft.]

= 9.90 cu ft.

The total volume of 4" thick. brick wall

= the volume of { wall-1+ wall-2}

= {7.425 cu ft. + 9.9 cu ft.}

= 17.33 cu ft. 


4. Plastering:

a. For 9" brick wall:

Area of plastering

= 2nos. × [ (area of a longwall) + (area of a short wall)]

= 2nos. × [ (10ft. × 6ft.) + (5ft. × 6ft.)]

= 2nos. × [ 60 sq ft. + 30 sq ft.]

= 180 sq ft.

Note: Length & height of the longwall & short walls are taken for area calculation.


b. For 4" inner wall

Area of plastering

= 2 sides. × [ (area of wall-1) + (area of  wall-2)]

= 2 sides × [ ( 5ft. × 4.5ft.) + ( 5ft. × 6ft.)]

= 2 sides × [ 22.5 sq ft. + 30 sq ft.]

= 105 sq ft.


c. For floor base

Floor area plastering

= [ {length} × { breadth.}]

= [{10 ft. - (2nos. × 0.75ft.)} × {6.5ft. - (2nos. × 0.75ft.)}]

= [ {10ft. - 1.5 ft.} × { 6.5ft. - 1.5ft.}]

= [8.5ft. × 5ft.]

= 42.5 sq ft.


Total plastering area

=  plastering area of [ 9" wall + 4" wall + floor]

= [180 sq ft. + 105sq ft. + 42.5 sq ft.]

= 327.5 sq ft.


5. RCC slab:

The area of the RCC slab

= [length × breadth ]

= [ 10ft. × 6.5 ft.]

= 65.0 sq ft.


6. Miscellaneous:

 Inlet & outlet pipe of 4" dia = 2 nos.

 Manhole cover with frame = 1no.

  Vent pipe = 1no.
