Piping documentation conforming to reality is usually not available, even the owners of the pipe network often have no accurate knowledge of the position of their pipelines.

This means that one cannot assume the existence of a distribution according to the standards in the underground construction space.

With regard to drainage methods, i.e. the "discharge type of sewage" [DIN4045:2003], the following distinctions can be drawn:

Combined system:
Drain and sewer system designed to carry both foul wastewater and surface water in the same pipeline(s) [EN752:2008].

Separate system:
Drain and sewer system, usually of two pipelines, one carrying foul wastewater …

The dimensioning of plastic pipes is carried out on the basis of the minimum strength and a security factor.

The security factors depend on the type of application and the hazard risk. DIN 8074 suggests three different security factors SF (1.25, 1.6 und 2.0) for HD-PE.

Using the design coefficient C, DIN EN ISO 12162 only defines two different security factors (1.25 for water pipes; 2.0 for gas pipes).

A low security factor increases the operating …

The previously used term "PN" = "nominal pressure" has been taken out of the German standards for plastic pipes and is not used anymore.

The nominal pressure depends on the wall thickness and on the diameter of the pipe as well as on the applied security factor.

PN = (20 ยท MRS) / ((SDR - 1) ยท SF)) = (10 ยท MRS) / (S ยท SF)


PN = maximum permissible nominal pressure (bar)
SDR = standard dimension ratio (OD/s)
MRS = minimum required …

In order to illustrate this change, the pipe series S and the diameter/wallthickness ratios SDR are compared with the previous PN-values in the following table.

(Table: Correlation between S, SDR and PN [DIN8074b])

Product pipeline:
Pipeline for the transport and distribution of liquids and gases - also including solids [Stein05a].

Utility duct:
Non-accessible, underground installations for orderly installation of supply and/or disposal lines utilizing a structural shell for line fastening. The spacing between the lines are not filled in order to maintain the possibility of later access [Stein05a].

(Image: Standardised sewer cross sections with geometric values for fully filled to DIN 4263 (04.91) [DIN4263])

Sewers with the most varying cross sections and dimensions have been used since the beginning of modern sewage technology and some are still in use to this day.

The most important cross-sectional shapes are the circular, the normal ovoid and the normal arch cross sections (Bild 1.3).

The circular cross section was and still is preferred in …

Depth of cover is designated in EN 1610 [DINEN1610:1997] as the "vertical distance from the top of the pipe barrel to the surface".

The depth of the cellar bottom to be drained normally defines the minimum depth of cover of the combined water and wastewater sewers.

Taking into account the required minimum gradients of 1.0 % to 2.0 % for the laterals and pipes whose course follows the access path under all the supply lines, and the depth of the cellar …

Sewage is a mixture of water with the most varied solids among which there are also those that settle. Their sedimentation inside the sewers can be prevented if the velocity of discharge is not allowed to fall below a certain value.

Frühling (1910) [Frühl10] and Braubach (1925) [Braub25] state that this value in larger collectors must not average less than 0.6 m/s to 0.7 m/s and that in smaller pipes, which sometimes run dry, about one-and-a-half …

Private domain sewers are "Inaccessible pipelines laid in the earth or in the foundation that usually carry sewage to the lateral" [DIN1986:1998] (Bild 1.9.1) (Bild 1.9.1) (Bild 1.9.1).

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, …
