Operational inspection measures serve to investigate the causes and effects of operating problems under normal operating conditions in a drain and sewer system. They may also be needed to investigate failures in the system. Together with the structural investigation measures, they are called "inspection" [ [DWAM149-5:2010]]. Operating problems occur when operational functional requirements (section 1.11) cannot be met within a drain and sewer system, … |

Oct 15, 2019 Investigation is the first of the four fundamental activities included in integral sewer management. To a reasonable extent, it is to cover all performance aspects of the drain and sewer system in order to create the basis for the next step (the evaluation of the capacity of the drain and sewer system). The obtained results serve to show compliance to due diligence, and also as the basis for the determination of all activities to be carried out with respect to rehabilitation and maintenance. That is why volume 4 of "Rehabilitation and Maintenance of Drains and Sewers" deals with the investigation and inspection. |

Site equipment Site equipment includes traffic safety, provision and preparation of storage surfaces for equipment and material as well as the provision of power and water supplies. In this particular case the water supply is ensured by nearby hydrants. Water retention To maintain the drainage capability, the clear cross section of the sewers is shut with brickwork, but with an inlet above the certain section that to be rehabilitated. A relief of the … |

Driving-in excavations Due to the selected pipe lengths of 1.0 m or 3.0 m and the selected way of installation "driving-in method" it is impossible to install the pipes via the extant manholes. Thus, in the case at hand the GRP pipes are installed via supported driving-in excavations, which are arranged near the sections, with an approximate dimension of 2.0 m x 4.0 m. In the driving-in excavations the old brickwork profile is exposed and is broken … |

Preparatory measures At the target shaft a 5-ton capstan winch is prepared for the pulling-together of the GRP pipes. (Image: Capstan winch at the target shaft) Installation of the GRP pipes The GRP pipes stored near the driving-in excavation are let down into the excavation by means of an electric crane or HGV and are positioned in the section that is exposed to the springing line.

Due to the non-straight course of the old sewer's path and the restrictions for the installation resulting from it as well as the hydraulic over-dimensioning of the old sewer the nominal size of the GRP pipes that are to be installed was determined with DN 470/705 in the rehabilitation planning. The thus caused relatively large annular space of up to approximately 15.0 cm in the crown area and the shape of the cross section "ovoid" (entrance angle … |

After the GRP pipes are installed and laterals are recovered the continuous pipes are connected by a GRP fitted piece inside the driving-in excavation. The joints between the fitted piece and the continuous pipe are sealed with hand laminate. Before filling the driving-in excavation, a PVC line is installed on the crown of the GRP pipes over the entire length of the excavation in order to enable the flow of filling material from section to section … |

Preparatory measures Before grouting of the annular space, each at the beginning and at the end of the each section the annular space has to be shut in such professional way that the grouting pressure can be taken up and a control of the grouting procedure is enabled. In the case at hand the annular space was grouted with concrete and each a filling nozzle DN 100 and a ventilation nozzle DN 50 were installed. An approximately 2.0 m long PVC-pipe is … |

After the grouting of the annular space is completed, the leaktightness of the installed continuous pipe of GRP pipes is to be proved by a leaktightness testing according to EN 1610. The testing pressure is 100 mbar and has to be maintained during the testing time of 8 min. If the measured pressure loss at the end of the testing is smaller than the permitted value of 15 mbar, the test requirements are met. The leaktightness testing is to be documented … |

NOTE: The procedures described below apply equally to both collectors even if only one is mentioned. Bore core removal and soil exploration A special challenge in the planning of this rehabilitation measure was the intention of retaining the original masonry. To achieve this, comprehensive calculations of the structural bearing capacity of the old sewer were necessary. In order to obtain the entry data for the structural evaluation, a comprehensive … |

The rehabilitation of the masonry collectors is achieved by injection of the existing cracks and re-jointing the corroded masonry joints. With this method the corrosion protection of the collectors and their partly insufficient stability as shown by the calculations is again established. In order to determine the quality standards in the execution of the masonry rehabilitation as regards materials and procedures, three reference fields were carried … |

Sewer cleaning Corroded or loose jointing material, blooms, bulges, foreign matter (e.g. greases or oils) growths, dust and other dirt are removed by means of high-pressure jets with a flushing pressure of maximum 150 bar. Removing loose jointing material The butt and bed joints in the region of the springing line are cleaned out up to a hard underground but not more than 5 cm deep due to the fact that the joint mortar can soften and parts of it can … |

Re-jointing the previously cleaned-out joints Ground and cleaned joints are re-filled up to the joint underground cavity with the Sewament 40 corrosion-resistant cement mortar of the Mapei Company making sure that there are no bad parts. The material used is first processed with a manually filled hand cartridge filler. The joints are filled-in from a corrosion depth of 1 cm (after cleaning).

Repairing damaged laterals In order to permanently seal laterals that have been provisionally closed with board or other seals and that are no longer in use, first the existing closures of the laterals are removed insofar as they are not situated at least one brick width inside. Any existing cracks in the fittings are exposed with the angle grinder and the re-jointed.
