Importance of Plumbing in Our Life

What is Plumbing?
Plumbing is related to the transfer of fluids used in various applications. HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), water drainage, and drinking water supply are the applications of Plumbing. It involves the use of several materials like valves, fixtures, pipes and other materials. Present generation involves the use of plumbing to maintain sanity and hygiene effectively.

A Brief History
We may think the term "plumbing" originated in the modern world but history marks its evidence since the ancient age of Greek, Roman, and Persian. They first designed public baths and hence arose a requirement of water supply and wastewater removal system for a large number of people. Since then, plumbing has been used by many including Indus Valley Civilization and has remained an integral part of our civilization till date. For several centuries lead was used in the plumbing pipes as it is highly malleable. Apart from lead, wooden pipes, reinforced concrete pipes, and ductile iron pipes have also been used. Today, plumbing pipes are mainly made up of steel, plastic, copper and cast iron.

Importance of Plumbing 

   • Plumbing is used to ensure safe delivery of water. Clean water usage is made possible only through plumbing which is often taken for granted.

    • It brings comfort and beauty to our living as we are able to use it in several functional areas such as kitchens and bathrooms with such an ease without having a thought of what it would have been if there was no supply of clean water for us.

    • Plumbing industry today holds a strong economic importance as it provides job opportunities and livelihood for many.

    • Lack of safe and affordable water supply leads to a number of water-borne diseases and viruses. According to World Health Organization, 1.4 million children die due to such diseases every year. Untreated human waste and fecal matter are responsible for this which is why plumbing holds so much importance. 

    • March 11 is observed as World Plumbing Day globally as Plumbing plays such an important role in our day to day life ensuring our health and safety.

    • Even though awareness has been raised about the importance of plumbing services and its usage, there still remains some facts and figures which drive our attention to its importance. Even today, 40% of the world does not have access to sanitary services. About 1.1 billion people still defecate in open in this modern generation.

   • These facts and figures gather enough evidence as to why it is so much important to use plumbing services and the role of plumbing industry in our life.

Plumbing from Scratch

It uses basic laws of nature like gravity and pressure. A plumbing system is composed of two basic subsystems. One brings in the freshwater while the other throws out the wastewater.

Supply System: The water entering a home is under pressure. Hence it is easy to allow it to travel upstairs, at the corners or elsewhere as and when needed. This system includes a main water shutoff or a stop valve to be used during a plumbing emergency. The water from main supply is ready to be used for various drinking and cleaning purposes.

Drainage System: A drainage system does not depend on pressure as all the drainage pipes are angled downward. Hence, gravity pulls off all the waste material. As simple as it may seem, the drainage system involves a lot of complex components like vents, traps and clean outs. These vents allow air to enter through the drainage pipes so as to regulate water flow. Otherwise which the water gets collected in the traps and will require being driven off frequently.   

The supply and drainage systems are two different systems with no overlapping between them. There are bridges between the two system which makes plumbing system successful. They are called fixtures. Toilets, sinks, and tubs are types of fixtures. 

Plumbing Design
An effective plumbing design, in the beginning, will save a lot of work, time and money caused during its repair in the future. A successful plumbing system will require proficient designing and drafting services. These services involve generating plumbing drawings like Plumbing Coordination Shop Drawing, Pipe Fabrication Drawing, Plumbing CAD Drawings, etc. These drawings are typically technical drawings showing the system of piping for supply and drainage water.

How LOD450 and 5D BIM services are interconnected with one another for pre-construction and early design stages for the construction project?

  The process of pre-construction and conceptual design process is a long seen work that cannot be avoided and it is due to the size of the project. In the past, the traditional method, as well as early architectural concepts and designs, were known to be a lengthier process and for the same, the discussion for the same too was taking a lot of time. Not only this but the owner and architect both need to have a discussion on various channels and also if there are any changes required to be done to an existing facility.   It is very much necessary that before the start of the project there should be an early conversation between the two parties as this stage is the reason for any project's success. This is where the task of 5D BIM Services comes into the picture. This stage of work helps in evaluating the conceptual design, and then at the later stage assessing the overall project's budget and its schedule. Thus, this is the process in which the building needs to assign the work

  MEP coordination services or mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services share an important role in the overall BIM services. The process of BIM coordination services is to streamline the work with the adherence of required software and tools. The overall construction work of the building undergoes with a lot many stages i.e from the forming of the building fabric, its structure, to its external envelopes like steel, concrete, panel, and a lot more. While constructing a building HVAC services too need to be taken into consideration, this is also an important aspect in the construction field.   The overall process of MEP coordination services is not that simple as it seems in the images or its drawings as that shared online. The complete creation, as well as undertaking of the MEP BIM Coordination Services, is a success and this is possible only with the help of outsourcing MEP coordination services with the leading MEP coordination services provider. The MEP team is comprising of h

The building process involves more than just pouring concrete and erecting walls. It's a multifaceted process that calls for careful planning, inventiveness, and attention to detail. Architectural design and detailing services are essential to this procedure. To put it simply, this is the art and science of drawing up the specifications and drawings that direct a building's construction. We will discuss the value of architectural design and detailing services in building projects in this blog, as well as the reasons why these services are necessary to produce structures that are aesthetically beautiful, safe, and useful. What is Architectural Drafting And Detailing? The process of producing intricate technical drawings and plans for a building or other structure is known as architectural drafting and detailing. Architects, engineers, and construction workers can use these drawings as a guide to better understand how the structure should be built. Creating accurate two-dimension
