I contacted Sarah Long to find out what they were currently using to support the launder, she mentioned that they used a pvc pipe under the launder as support.After discussing the matter with Heather, Nanditha, and Monroe, we decided that a cement ledge would support the launder.
Post the midterm report, Nanditha and I worked on mostly debugging of the code. We worked on shortening the launder so that it could be removed during maintenance. We also worked on the launder cap ,specifically orienting it in the right direction and making it the right size.This is documented on the Launder Design Page. The issue of the launder support came up, and it was decided to put that off until a later time. The thinking behind it was that we want to come up with a well-thought out solution. The previous idea we had settled on would not work anymore because now that the launder is shorter, the cement ledge would have to be longer to support the launder. Our biggest task towards the end of the semester was working on the coupling script.Originally the coupling would be drawn and portions of it would intersect with the sed tank wall. Our task was to alter the script so that the wall would be subtracted from the coupling, therefore in the drawings you would be able to see through the coupling.
