Water Transmission & Elevated Storage Tank.
Sponsor: Freese & Nichols
Student Team: Gabriela Solis, Otto Sanchez, Mark Peterman, Michael Cartwright
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Felipe Gutierrez
This project focuses on the planning and design of an elevated storage tank system to support reliable water distribution in the city of Austin. The study will include an analysis of different pipe sizes to evaluate flow capacity and pressure performance, along with a comparison of alternative pipe materials for cost, durability, and maintenance considerations. In addition, potential site locations and pipe networks will be assessed to optimize hydraulic efficiency, accessibility, and cost. The goal is to provide a comprehensive basis for selecting the most effective configuration that balances performance, longevity, and overall project cost.
