UT Dell Medical School Water Collection and Re-Use System: An Environmentally Friendly Facility
The UT Dell Medical School water collection and re-use system project was designed to collect 3,200 cubic foot (CF) stormwater in a water cistern located in the parking garage of the new medical office building for The University of Texas at Austin. The cistern was meant for catching and storing rainwater. The collected rainwater is used in the restrooms and irrigation systems to alleviate water usage.

Encotech provided MEP engineering services for this design project. The Plumbing design of the cistern system included piping, valves, above-ground storage tank, accessories, pumps, and controls. The design team also coordinated with other design consultants for plumbing connections, tie into the landscape irrigation system and integration with the building automated control system.
The Electrical engineering services included lighting and power outlet layout and circuiting and circuit design for the pumps and irrigation equipment. The electrical design included load analysis, service risers, branch circuit panelboard panels, and wire sizing.
Additionally, Encotech changed the original design to a gravity-fed system. The owners’ request altered the design to a pumped water system to provide sufficient flow for the irrigation system.
