Concrete Manholes and Inspection Chambers: Unreinforced, Steel Fibre, and Reinforced
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1917 standard provides performance requirements and test methods for precast concrete units used in the construction of inspection chambers and manholes. It covers units with circular, rectangular, or elliptical internal shapes, with sizes not exceeding DN 1250 for circular bore units or LN 1250 for rectangular or elliptical units.
The standard includes specifications for joints, including the use of elastomeric, plastomeric, or other sealing materials that can be integrated into the unit or supplied separately. The units are designed for inverts (the lowest point inside a pipe or channel) that are not deeper than 2 meters.
The standard defines the quality and performance criteria that these concrete units must meet, ensuring their suitability for use in wastewater systems. Various tests are described in the standard for evaluating the strength, durability, and functionality of the units.
