Explanation of Solution

The rough-in" stage in building or remodeling of a home is defined as the stage of the construction project which begins after the completion of basic framing. The initial wiring and plumbing installations, installation of circuit conduct and mounting of electrical boxes are done during this phase.

This stage always starts with a plan by the engineer of the architect outlining everything and its estimates. The National electrical code (NEC) and other local electrical codes are required to be followed during this stage.

It is the responsibility of the electrician to select the correct type of conductor, type of hardware, suitable material and wiring method as per the guidelines of the National electrical code.

The manufacturers will provide equipment and instructions for installing equipment to the electrical contractor. These instructions should be strictly followed for installation during this stage of wiring.

Pick the rural location of a project site in Victoria, and its catchment area-not bigger than 25 sqkm, and given the below information, determine the rainfall intensity for ARI = 5, 50, 100 year storm event. Show all the details of the procedure. Each student must propose different length of streams and elevations. Use fig below as a sample only. Pt. E-ht. 95.0 200m 600m PLD-M. 91.0 300m Pt. C-93.0 300m PL.B-ht. 92.0 PL.F-ht. 96.0 500m Pt. A-M. 91.00 To be deemed satisfactory the solution must include: Q.F1.1.Choice of catchment location Q.F1.2. A sketch displaying length of stream and elevation Q.F1.3. Catchment's IFD obtained from the Buro of Metheorology for specified ARI Q.F1.4.Calculation of the time of concentration-this must include a detailed determination of the equivalent slope. Q.F1.5.Use must be made of the Bransby-Williams method for the determination of the equivalent slope. Q.F1.6.The graphical display of the estimation of intensities for ARI 5,50, 100 must be shown.
