Which three factors have increased the risk of flooding and back flow?
Question 5 of 8
Intermediate
Which method of backflow prevention has the following advantages: Offers maximum backflow and flooding protection. Ideal for safeguarding electrical and other high value equipment. Offers unlimited use of sanitary facilities in case of backflow. Is easily serviced. Can be installed in a building’s storm water drains. Is not sensitive to sand and solid objects in the water.
Question 6 of 8
Intermediate
Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
Question 7 of 8
Intermediate
Which method of backflow prevention has the following disadvantages: Highly sensitive to sand and solid objects in the water. In a backflow situation, it is not possible to use the sanitary facilities that are connected to this device. Storm water drains cannot be connected to this device. The device is not 100% safe and should be used only to protect secondary rooms with no vital technical installations.

How would you rate this course?
1: Of the three anti-flooding systems, why is the lifting station the superior system?
It is located outside the building which means bad odour is never a problem

1: Of the three anti-flooding systems, why is the lifting station the superior system?
The storage volume is high and it is easy to assemble and install

1: Of the three anti-flooding systems, why is the lifting station the superior system?
It is pre-assembled and its location inside the building makes it easily accessible for service. Furthermore, it offers maximum backflow and flooding protection
2: Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
It has to go through an oil/petrol separator
You can find the answer here >
2: Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
It has to go through a sand pressure
You can find the answer here >
2: Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
None – it is pumped directly to the recipient
3: Under which circumstances should you consider a pressurised wastewater system rather than a gravitation system
When there is a long distance between the building and the sewer main, when the sewer main is up-hill or when there are obstacles between the building and the sewer main.
3: Under which circumstances should you consider a pressurised wastewater system rather than a gravitation system
When there is a long distance between the building and the sewer main or when the sewer main is located far below the building.

3: Under which circumstances should you consider a pressurised wastewater system rather than a gravitation system
When there is a short distance between the building and the sewer main or there are obstacles between the building and sewer main.

4: Which three factors have increased the risk of flooding and back flow?
A higher frequency of rainfalls, increased length of rainfalls and more paved areas today than earlier.
4: Which three factors have increased the risk of flooding and back flow?
A higher frequency of rainfalls, unmaintained sewers and an increase in paved areas

Lifting stations
6: Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
There are only a few gravitation pipes outside the building and the excavation cost is low
You can find the answer here >
6: Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
The initial cost of the lifting station is lower compared with a pit and there are no gravitation pipes outside the building
6: Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
The lifting station and the pipe system is maintenance-free
