The submittals should clarify how the quality control requirements will be satisfied. To assure quality control for materials and equipment, a representative of pipe supplier or ramming system manufacturer may be present on the site to observe site conditions, installation, quality of workmanship, start-up of equipment, operator training, test, adjust, and balance of equipment as applicable, and to initiate operation. Quality control for construction …

During the construction process, a contractor has to monitor the project progress and to document how the work is carried out. Various submittals prepared during the construction should include the following: - pre-construction survey reports, documented as-built conditions
- construction logs
- materials installed
- extent and causes of delays
- locations of affected areas
- unusual problems or conditions encountered
A construction log of the ramming operation …

Construction site arrangement The construction site arrangement includes determining the position and storage areas for equipment and material as well as the provision of power and water supplies. As the private property was situated next to a street that was only trafficable to a limited extent (max. 3.5 t), the delivery of the necessary machines and equipment as well as the material was only possible in several approaches using a small truck. The …

Installation of excavation The present inlet to the three-chamber dry well is carefully laid open by means of a pickaxe and a shovel. The position and dimensions of the excavation for the HD-PE-container must be selected and arranged in such a way that the new small sewage treatment plant, upon its completion, can be connected to the present inlet. The present plants in the range of the excavation are partly trimmed by a chain saw and/or removed …

Before the excavation can finally be filled, the plant is put into operation to control its functioning. Afterwards, the main filling of the excavation as well as the excavations for the inlet and outlet and for the connection between control unit and HD-PE-container is carried out. Later on, a gardening company takes over the responsibility for restoring the plants. (Image: Final filling of excavation) | (Image: Final filling of excavation) | (Image: … |

(Image: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dietrich Stein) Necessary precondition for the functionality of a community and urban development are efficient networks of pipelines and cables that provide a secure supply of water, gas, district heating, electricity and telecommunication as well as an ecologically friendly and secure drain and sewer system, i.e. collection and discharge of waste water. These pipe and cable networks are mostly available in Germany and throughout …

(Image: Example of a water distribution system [DINEN805]) Water supply systems provide reliable and safe potable water supply to society as well as a water supply for commerce, trade, industry, agriculture and fire fighting. The actual distribution of water for the consumer is taken over by the water distribution system consisting of pipelines (water piping), water reservoirs, pumping stations and other installations. According to European standard …

At the start of the 1960's, Germany started introducing energy-rich natural gas, which replaced the town gas generated from coal as well as the coke gas supplied over long distances that were available at the time [Altma83]. According to EN 12007 [DINEN12007-1], gas is a gaseous fuel that is gaseous at a temperature from 15°C and at atmospheric pressure (1.01325 bar absolute). It is used for supplying households with energy for heating, cooking and …

District heating is a pipe guided energy whereby the thermal energy is generated by a central generating plant, usually a steam power plant or heating plant, and is fed with the aid of a compressor via pressure pipes to the consumer for space heating, hot water heating or production purposes and from there is led back again to the power or heating plant [AGFW93]. A difference is made between regional and district heating supply depending on the centralization …

The largest number of drain and sewer systems are designated as gravity systems [DINEN752b] [DINEN476:1997] where, according to EN 752-1 [DINEN752b] "flow is caused by the force of gravity and where the pipeline (remarks: gravity pipe [DINEN12889:2000]) is designed normally to operate partially full". In the Federal Republic of Germany, drain and sewer systems are divided into two parts: drain systems and sewer systems. Drain systems are understood, …

Drain and sewer systems serve to collect and discharge sewage in the form of wastewater and/or surface water. Wastewater, according to EN 752-1 [DINEN752b] is defined as "water changed by use and discharged to a drain or sewer system" and surface water as "water from precipitation, which has not seeped into the ground and which is discharged to the drain or sewer system directly from the ground or from exterior building surfaces." Drain and sewer systems, …

Telecommunication (TC) is the exchange of messages and information in the form of tones, pictures, text or data over larger distances to end devices such as telephones, television, fax or data processing devices (e.g. computers). Broadband communication (BC) is a generic term for those forms of telecommunication, which, because of the quantity of information to be transmitted per unit of time, require a relatively large frequency land (mostly several …

An electrical energy supply system consists of the power plants that generate the electrical energy (electrical power), lines that transport the current to the consumers (e.g. households, business and industry, public transportation systems and street lighting), where it is converted into other forms of energy such as mechanical energy, heat and light energy, as well as transformer stations (transformers) that connect the different voltage levels …

The transmission and distribution of electrical energy for power supply (Abschnitt 1.1.5.2) as well as of speech, data and pictures for communication purposes (Abschnitt 1.1.5.1) is carried out - except for the possibility of wireless communication - either via overhead cables or via underground cable lines, also called cables for short. Cables are used almost exclusively for this purpose inside towns and industrial centres and these are installed …
