Grouting

First the first mixing unit is put into operation and the addition of water is regulated (ca. 3.6 t cement to 1.5 m3 water) until the injector grout comes out of the hose in a watery consistency. When the consistency is correct, a sample is taken and viscosity, density as well as temperature are determined. If the material does not satisfy the conditions, then the process is repeated. The testing of the second mixing unit is carried out …

Recreating of the branch connections

Because of the size of the sewer, the reconnection of the laterals is carried out from the inside.

The positions of laterals were measured in the preliminary work, so that the positions in the renovated sewer can be drawn by a marker. A hole is made in the liner at the marked position with a hammer and pointed chisel in order to check whether the lateral is indeed at the indicated position. The approximate position …

Manhole connection

The liner is first cut back, e.g. the part of the liner projecting into the manhole is cut back flush with the manhole wall using an angle grinder (here driven by compressed air). Because of the large amount of dust, a respirator and protective goggles must be worn. The injector grout directly at the cutting edge is removed so that the stud hose and the Preliner can be better welded together.

The replacement of the manhole on this site was carried out by the Hans Brochier GmbH & Co, Nuremberg. For this purpose, an even base was bricked up on the lower part of the shaft. The replacement of the manhole was carried out with prefabricated concrete elements. Finally the road surface was replaced.

Rob Carr continues to kick goals on the construction of the Quinns Main Sewer project for Water Corporation with approximately half of the project now complete.

Summary:

This module provides an introduction to the first of the four basic activities within the framework of integral urban drainage management according to EN 752, the INVESTIGATION. It is intended to cover all performance aspects of the drain and sewer system to the appropriate extent in order to provide the basis for the subsequent assessment of their performance. Therefore, this module provides an overview of the required investigation steps, …

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).

(Image: Integrated Sewer System Management Process according to DIN EN 752)

[EN752:2008]

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 in the form of:

  • Strategic planning and
  • Operational planning.

The purpose of the investigation influences the way in which it is conducted (e.g. choice of methods, level of …

The investigation includes the following activities according to [EN752:2008]:

  1. Review of the information regarding the capacity
  2. Determination of the scope of the inspection
  3. Review of the already available information
  4. Update of the inventory data
  5. Structural investigation
  6. Environmentally relevant investigation
  7. Hydraulic investigation
  8. Operational investigation

In what respect must the information be checked to ensure the quality of the overall result?

Verification of the quality of information is of utmost importance for the quality of the overall result in all the analyses steps – regarding:

  • Completeness,
  • Compatibility,
  • Accuracy,
  • An adequate scale,
  • Data consistency,
  • Extent to which the data is up-to-date,
  • Forma and logical plausibility.
(Image: Schritte)

The first step in the process of investigation of drain and sewer systems is the review of their performance capacities based on given information. The review is done based on available incidence reports and analysis results that might provide an insight into possible performance impairments. It thus forms the basis for determining the scope of the inspection

[EN752:2008]

Examples for records of incidents are according to EN 752:

Flooding, blockages, breakdown of sewers, functional failure of a pressure line, disease, physical injury or fatal accidents of the operational staff or other people, sewer damage, compliance to the conditions for the discharge into the drain and sewer system and the receiving waters, visual inspection, complaints regarding odour nuisance, hydraulic recalculations, functioning of the mechanical …

For large drain and sewer systems, it can be useful to combine the evaluation of incidents with other operational, hydraulic, economic and strategic aspects, such as the relevance of the development (hospital, industrial plant, etc.).

The result could be a priority ranking or area ranking for planning the investigation in the respective subcatchment areas.

In the second step of the investigation, the gathered results serve as a basis for the review of the information regarding the capacity and the determination of the scope of the investigation, i.e. whether and to what extent investigations will be necessary with respect to:

  • structural,
  • environmentally relevant,
  • hydraulic and
  • operational

aspects, and which of the investigation methods that are subsequently explained are suitable …

What is relevant informationen?

(Image: Schritte)

In the third step, all available relevant information of a drain and sewer system is collected and reviewed. This step provides the basis for the subsequent planning of all further activities.

Relevant information here includes:

1. Inventory data,

2. Required permissions and statutory requirements,

3. Existing operational, maintenance-relevant, structural and safety-related measures for problem solving,…

What if inventory data is incomplete?

(Image: Schritte)

In step 4 it is ensured that sufficient information on the drain and sewer system is available for the investigation. Therefore incomplete inventory data must be completed. An update of the condition data should also be considered. With increasing age, the significance of earlier condition data becomes considerably limited, because the structural condition of drains and sewers as well as structures …
