Pipes, Manholes and Structures
This module provides the essential basic knowledge regarding materials, sealing systems, and functions of manholes as well as requirements and methods of connections to manholes. With regards to road catch basins, their function and types of construction are explained, as well as the possibility of using these systems for decentralized solids retention. The content concludes with stormwater basins and how they are differentiated in terms of function, type, drainage system and layout.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Functions of and requirements for manholes, as well as materials and sealants used;
- Types of construction and main components of road catch basins, as well as the type of connection to the sewer or manhole;
- Requirements for connections, as well as variants of connection to manholes;
- Differentiation of stormwater basins in terms of their function, by type and drainage system, and by arrangement and tasks.
This module provides essential basic knowledge about the historical development of sewage pipes including sealing systems, which is particularly relevant for the rehabilitation of old pipes and sewers; the current status of pipe materials and sealing systems, cross-sectional shapes and dimensions, functional and dimensional requirements for pipes and fittings.
After completing this module, you will have a sound knowledge of:
- Minimum nominal sizes for new construction of drain and sewers systems;
- Relevant materials and material combinations;
- Functional and dimensional requirements for pipes and pipe materials;
- Factors influencing material selection;
- Requirements for pipe joints; and
- Functional principles of gaskets.
In this module, the fundamentals of the materials applied in the lining processes with continuous pipes are presented and discussed.
