	Sep 11, 2023 Modules Application of Coding Systems Using the Example of EN 13508-2 Defects Defect versus Damage European coding systems define the term defect as „a structural, environmental or hydraulic condition that causes or is expected to cause an unacceptable impairment of functionality with regard to use. “ [ATVM143-1:2004]. The following explanations refer primarily to structural defects, hereinafter also referred to as damage. These damages can also be of importance when assessing the hydraulic performance and the impact on the environment, but also …
	Sep 11, 2023 Modules Application of Coding Systems Using the Example of EN 13508-2 Defects Causes of Defects (Image: Diagram - Causes of Defects) In general, it can be stated that defects in sewer systems are caused on the one hand by age and on the other hand by changes in the different stresses acting from outside or inside during the period of use. In addition, there is so-called initial damage, which can occur over a period of up to several years. They are mainly due to design and/or material defects and/or incorrect selection of materials and components -
	Sep 11, 2023 Modules Application of Coding Systems Using the Example of EN 13508-2 Defects Defects to Sewers and Drains - Introduction Important: Knowledge of the defects, their manifestations, causes and consequences is one of the most important prerequisites for the optimal planning and design of integral solutions to meet the performance requirements - and here in particular for the selection of suitable procedures for the structural solution. [EN13508-2:2011] The following explanations refer primarily to structural defects, hereinafter also referred to as damage. These damages …
	Sep 11, 2023 Modules Application of Coding Systems Using the Example of EN 13508-2 Coding Systems - General A coding system consists of codes for basic information and individual observations, whereby the codes for individual observations within the sewers and drains are to be binding. Observations are understood to mean defects and condition characteristics, and header information refers to a pipeline as a whole. It is recommended to adopt the binding codes of EN 13508-2 as completely as possible. In justified individual cases, restrictions may be proposed.

	Sep 11, 2023 Modules Application of Coding Systems Using the Example of EN 13508-2 Header Information Header Information Header information according to [EN13508-2:2011]: relate to the pipeline as a whole, describe the conditions of the inspection as well as the pipeline and possible changes in it, include project data, and serve to clearly identify the object for allocation to the sewer inventory and to describe the inspection conditions. (Image: Inspection report - marking Header Information)
	Sep 11, 2023 Modules Application of Coding Systems Using the Example of EN 13508-2 Header Information Header Information - Sewer Section Identification (Image: Sewer Section Identification) The Header information is supposed to be entered at the start of the inspection. According to [EN13508-2:2011], the following information shall be recorded: (a) The pipeline (length) identification occurs by: pipeline reference and/or the two node references. Alternatively, where the pipeline length is a lateral connected to another pipeline without a chamber, the pipeline may be identified the following way:…

A height measurement …
	Sep 11, 2023 Modules Application of Coding Systems Using the Example of EN 13508-2 Header Information Header Information - Master Data Master Data The client must provide the master data necessary for the visual inspection and make specifications for the recording of changes. Master data must be checked by the inspector during the inspection. Where any information specified in the header changes during the inspection, the revised information shall be entered using the relevant code as described below (table). (Table: Master Data)
