Maintenance
The maintenance
department of AVS works round the clock to ensure providing
various facilities smoothly. Some of the facilities
maintained are :
Water Supply
System
Ground water is the only source of water supply to the
School. There are 4 deep tube wells located within the
campus. All the tube wells are sunk to a depth of 275 to 300
feet.
Water Supply to Main Campus Area
Tube well No 1 & 4 are connected to Pump House No 1. Raw
water is pumped into the underground tank having a capacity
of 70,000 litres. From this tank water is pumped through the
pressure carbon filtration plant and chlorinator and
discharged into the treated water chamber having a capacity
of 70,000 litres. The filtration plant is run for
approximately 12 hours every day. From this chamber water is
pumped to the overhead tank by means of a single 15 hp pump.
The overhead tank is located at a height of 30 meters. From
the overhead tank water is distributed to the end users
through gravity by means of an underground network of pipes
configured as a ring main to ensure constant pressure at all
ends. Water consumption from this source is recorded &
logged daily.
Water Supply to Maintenance Staff Housing, Riding School &
Security Barracks
Tube well No 3 is connected to Pump House No 2. Raw
water is pumped into the underground tank having a capacity
of 70 000 litres. From this tank the water is pumped through
the pressure carbon filtration plant and chlorinator and
discharged into the treated water chamber having a capacity
of 70 000 litres. The filtration plant is run for
approximately 5 hours every day. From this chamber water is
pumped to the overhead tank by means of two 7.5 hp pumps.
The overhead tank is located at a height of 30 metres. From
the overhead tank water is distributed to the end users
through gravity by means of an underground network of pipes.
Water Supply to the Swimming Pool
Tube well No 2 by means of a branch line is utilised to
fill the swimming pool and replenish water on a daily basis.
Raw water is pumped into the Swimming Pool having a capacity
of 7,00,000 litres of water. Swimming pool water is treated
by means of an independent pressure carbon / iron removal
filtration plant. The treated water is further subjected to
chemical dosing containing chlorine, soda ash & alum to
render the water within permissible limits for swimming. The
filtration plant run every day for 8 hours and back washed &
cleaned every day. This cycle ensure that the swimming pool
water is cleaned entirely.
Sewerage System
The campus has an extensive underground sewerage system
for every cluster of buildings. The system incorporates a
network of discharging pipes connected to manholes and
thereafter to septic tanks and soak pits for treatment of
the sewage. The treated effluent is finally connected to the
nearby natural drains.
The sewage and waste pipes used within buildings are cast
iron up to the nearest manhole. Thereafter glazed stoneware
pipes are used externally to carry the discharge to the
septic tanks & soak pits. Rainwater discharge is carried to
the nearest natural drains by means of open drains.

The Central Kitchen is fed from a central gas bank with
an installed capacity of 70 cylinders. The bank is connected
to kitchen equipment by means of gas lines protected by a
necessary regulatory system. In a similar way all the
