ABSTRACT
Water is an essential commodity in human life. Every day, man uses Water in one way or another. Water is used daily for drinking, washing, bathing, flushing, and other domestic uses. This paper presents the installation and testing of a piping system to provide Water to the mechanical engineering laboratories for easy accessibility to the office staff. The processes involved in the pipes' installation started with identifying the problems facing the water supply in the various labs and then costing the items for the work, measuring the distance from the overhead tank to the various labs, and excavation of the soil to provide a trench for burying of the pipes. The pipes were laid and connected from the overhead tank to the various destinations. The system was tested for leakage and correct supply, and after that, the trench was filled with soil. The results showed that the various labs will always be supplied with Water as long as the tank is kept in Water, even though there is a recommendation for a bigger tank to last longer.
