The Overflow Relief Cap - ORC
Anti-infiltration overflow-relief device

The Problem…
Infiltration of stormwater into sewer drains has long been recognised as a problem for sewerage treatment infrastructure
This can lead to major impact on the environment when systems fail
As much as 40% of the infiltration is attributed to non conforming overflow relief gullies - ORG’s
![Page 3: The Overflow Relief Cap - ORC. The Problem… Infiltration of stormwater into sewer drains has long been recognised as a problem for sewerage treatment](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102814/5517baba55034616658b458f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Conventional ORG Installation ORG allowing water ingress
![Page 4: The Overflow Relief Cap - ORC. The Problem… Infiltration of stormwater into sewer drains has long been recognised as a problem for sewerage treatment](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102814/5517baba55034616658b458f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Solution…
Overflow Relief Cap – ORC
The ORC prevents water from entering the sewer at the household connection
The cap is used instead of the open grate that is currently fitted on ORG’s

Product Description
Moulded PVC-U anti-infiltration overflow relief device
Nominal size DN100
Upon installation in an overflow (relief) gully, to prevent the infiltration of surface waters to the sewerage and drainage systems and provide for the overflow relief of any surcharge of sewerage and drainage systems

How does the ORC work?
The device has an upper chamber designed to allow air to be drawn in during normal conditions
Venting
![Page 8: The Overflow Relief Cap - ORC. The Problem… Infiltration of stormwater into sewer drains has long been recognised as a problem for sewerage treatment](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102814/5517baba55034616658b458f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
If the area surrounding the ORG becomes inundated with water the float in the ORC chamber will rise blocking further water entry. This prevents water from entering the sewer.
Sealing
![Page 9: The Overflow Relief Cap - ORC. The Problem… Infiltration of stormwater into sewer drains has long been recognised as a problem for sewerage treatment](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102814/5517baba55034616658b458f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
In the event of a surcharge the ORC will pop out of the pipe allowing effluent to run out (as grates do now)
Overflow
![Page 10: The Overflow Relief Cap - ORC. The Problem… Infiltration of stormwater into sewer drains has long been recognised as a problem for sewerage treatment](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102814/5517baba55034616658b458f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Features and Benefits
The cap instead of a grate currently fitted on ORG’s will keep pests and vermin from entering the system at the point
Cap is designed with special vents to allow fixtures connected to it to discharge normally
Reduces sewerage processing costs by preventing rainwater infiltration in the sewerage system
![Page 11: The Overflow Relief Cap - ORC. The Problem… Infiltration of stormwater into sewer drains has long been recognised as a problem for sewerage treatment](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022102814/5517baba55034616658b458f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Reduces the need for capital expenditure on additional sewerage storage and pumping capacity
Decreases the possibility of untreated sewerage discharges
Minimises the likelihood of Pumping Stations being fined by the EPA for releasing untreated sewerage discharge into the water ways

Features and BenefitsBuilders & Plumbers
Quick and easy to install
The ORC is designed to be installed into the normal ORG
The ORC can be easily retrofitted to an existing ORG

Features and BenefitsWater Authorities
The cap will prevent water from entering the sewer – saving unnecessary water processing costs
In the event of a surcharge the ORC will pop out of the pipe allowing effluent to run out (as grates do now)
Reduces likelihood of unprocessed discharges of sewerage to outfall during floods
