Arrangement of sewage, storm or other types of drainage is preceded by a preliminary calculation of its throughput and the selection of appropriate (recommended by GOST standards) components. Used for these purposes sewer pipes (sewer pipes - this is how they are indicated in construction or architectural projects) must comply with:
- The parameters of the duration of the service life - the sewage system installed by an underground or otherwise is designed for a period of more than 25 years of operation.
- Indicators of strength and plasticity - they are required to be able to withstand the effects of external loads (soil mass, soil movement) and internal stresses from the pressure of the flow passing inside the sewer.
- High anti-corrosion performance - the material for the manufacture of the pipe must have inert qualities and not react with the effluents and the active chemical components contained in them.
To meet these requirements, until recently, large-diameter reinforced concrete pipes were used, the installation of which was not always technically possible, and the cost is considered not cost-effective today.
Modern pipes for the arrangement of the sewerage system
The introduction of innovative materials and advanced technologies also affected such areas as the arrangement of sewerage systems. The method of external and underground laying of the drain pipeline using corrugated 2 and even 3-layer pipes made of various types of special durable plastic has become widespread. The use of the corrugation system and the low weight of the product allow:
- Lay the sewer line without the use of heavy equipment.
- Set the pipeline to the desired slope.
- Carry out a technical change in the direction of the pipeline due to the flexibility of the corrugated pipe.
