Widely used throughout Europe, the Integral Sealing system is designed to

improve joint performance, whilst making life easier for the man in the trench.
Reliable Joints
Watertight Joints
Simplified Jointing
Long, Reliable Service Life
The Integral Sealing System is a system in which the seal forms an
integrated part of the pipe joint. The position of the sealing ring is fixed in
the socket, which guarantees watertight and secure pipe joints.
The Integral Sealing System is a sliding joint. This requires the application of
lubricant to the spigot prior to assembly. Sliding joints have an advantage
that, if sand, gravel or clay stick on the spigot, they are easily wiped off
the sealing surface during assembly. The cast-in protective strip ensures
the seal is in the correct position during manufacture. Please note, pipes
should only be joined using an FP McCann approved lubricant.
The protective strip also ensures that the pipe socket is clean and free
from dirt, stones, mud etc prior to jointing. The protective strip is made of a
non-toxic cellular plastic material. Details are available upon request.

Pipe Diameters DN1800 to DN2400 are designed and manufactured

to incorporate Easi-Lift jointing and lifting system.
To joint the pipe using the chain system, attach the long leg C to the
already laid pipe and the short leg B to the pipe to be laid. Take up the
slack in the chains with the lifting pulley over the anchor of the laid pipe,

instructions
Handling & Storing Pipes

1. Time and place of off-loading should be agreed before the units arrive at
site. The contractor should provide suitable equipment for off-loading,
stacking and stringing out of pipes on site.
2. Off-loading should take place at the nearest hard road to the point of
installation. To ensure the safety of all personnel, units must be left in a
stable position well clear of the edge of the trench.
3. Pipes should be inspected before off-loading to ensure that materials
delivered correspond to order placed.
4. Pipes should be carefully checked during off-loading to ensure no units
are damaged. Any discrepancies should be recorded on the delivery
docket.
5. Where stacking is necessary, this should be done on level ground and the
bottom layer of pipes securely chocked to prevent the stack from collapsing. Pipes should be supported under the barrel so that the socket is free
of load so that the jointing faces are not damaged. They should preferably
be stacked barrel to barrel with sockets hanging over alternative sides.
6. For safety reasons and to prevent damage to the lower layers of pipe in
the stack, pipes should not be loaded or stacked in a greater number of
layers than is shown in the table below.
7. Avoid damage when handling, especially to ends of concrete pipes.
Never drag or roll pipes over the ground.
Note: FP McCann Easi-Flex pipes from DN1350 can be handled using
our purpose designed Anchor System. Special lifting Anchors can be cast
into pipes at manufacture. A Universal Head Link (available from FP McCann) can then be hooked onto the exposed anchor heads to lift the pipe.
Lifting Anchors are fitted to order.
Laying Pipes
1. Trench Excavation The trench should be excavated to the line, gradient
and width indicated in the contract documents or as agreed with the
engineer. The safety of the public and site personnel is of paramount importance and care should be taken to ensure personal safety at all times.
2. Trench Width Any increase in trench width above that specified could
increase the load on the pipe; increasing the quantity of excavation and
the bedding material required. A trench narrower than the specified width
may impede the proper placing of bedding or backfill material or the correct jointing of pipes.
3. Formation Uniform support along the pipeline is essential. Rock outcrops
and soft zones, which can cause differential settlement should be dug
out and replaced with compacted specified backfill material. De-watering
may be necessary during pipe laying and subsequent backfilling operations. The specified bedding material shall be placed as detailed in the
contract specification and trimmed to ensure uniform support of the pipe
throughout the length of its barrel. Recesses should be prepared for the
pipe sockets.

4. Pipe Laying Before being lowered into the trench, pipes and fittings
should be inspected to ensure that they have not been damaged during
handling and storage on site. Units should be lowered carefully into the
trench using recognised lifting tackle such as the Easi-Lift mechanical
pipe lifter.
5. Jointing Using our integral Easi-Flex Sealing System all pipe spigots
must be fully lubricated with the pipe lube supplied just prior to being
lowered into the trench. Please note, pipes should only be joined using
an FP McCann approved lubricant. The socket of the laid pipe should at
this stage be prepared by removing the polystyrene forming ring to leave
a clean seal free from debris. The adjoining pipe should be lowered into
position as level as possible centring the pipe spigot with the seal of the
laid pipe so that the pipes are in line. On achieving this apply pressure to
the socket end of the adjoining pipe using a substantial piece of timber to
protect the pipe from damage when pushing the pipe home.
6. Testing Acceptance tests on the completed pipeline give an indication of
the level of control of workmanship and materials during construction.
7. Visual Testing Check for obstructions and debris within the pipe, the
structural soundness of pipes, that joints are properly sealed and that the
pipe invert is even. Note: pipes smaller than DN750 may be inspected
from manholes or by means of TV cameras.
8. Water Tightness The water tightness of a pipeline may be checked
using a water or air test. Such tests will reveal the existence of cracked
or porous pipes or faulty joints. These tests should be made during and
after laying and before backfilling. The test method will be detailed in the
contract specification or referenced to an appropriate code of practice.
In certain circumstances (e.g. where the distance between manholes is
great, or when site conditions are such that backfilling must take place
immediately or when laying small diameter pipelines), it is recommended
that the pipeline be tested at regular intervals (say every 3 pipes) during
construction.
9. Backfilling After inspection and testing backfilling should proceed. The
attention given to backfill selection is of great importance. The placing
and compaction of inappropriate backfill may cause damage to a new
pipeline. The structural strength of the completed pipeline depends as
much on good site workmanship as on the strength of individual pipes.
Consequently all backfill material must be selected and placed as detailed
in the contract specification or recognised code of practice.
Note: For additional information on laying pipes see the CPSA website.

FPM tools
AutoCAD
The FPM Auto-CAD toolbar is a set of instructions designed for AutoCAD and aimed mainly at civil engineers, quantity surveyors and estimators used to produce quick and accurate drainage take offs.
It provides tabular data for the drainage layout, and specifies the relevant
FP McCann Easi-Bases automatically.
The FPM Tools toolbar is used to work through the drainage plan in
sequence, specifying each manhole in turn. Manhole references, invert
levels, cover levels, pipe types and pipe lengths are all recorded. When
complete, a table is generated within the actual plan. This table can
then be exported as a .csv file and opened in excel or other similar
supporting program.
The screen shot above shows the drainage table generated within
AutoCAD and the exported Excel table ready for the quantity surveyor /
buyer /estimator to send out for pricing.
From within AutoCAD, the Manhole Edit tool can be used to assemble the
manhole and pipe data at a particular manhole reference within the plan.
Subscribers to Micro Drainages WinDes 2013.1 sustainable drainage
software, can incorporate Easi-Base into quick and accurate drainage
scheduling in accordance with the Predl clock notation.

FP McCann produce Easi-Bases in DN1500 and DN1800 diameters to

compliment our existing manhole ranges. DN1500-DN1800 Easi-Bases
are produced as monolithic units utilising standard manhole tongue
and groove joints for connection with standard manhole chambers.
These units are produced wholly from concrete and provide a variety
of connection orientations specified using the Predl Clock System, and
accommodate concrete, clay, twinwall and uPVC pipe.
DN1500 and DN1800 Easi-Bases are a bespoke item manufactured to
order. The following table gives the dimensions associated with each of
both DN1500 and DN1800 Easi-Bases to include the overall height of
the unit, the invert level for each different pipe diameter and the
combination of pipe diameters accommodated. All Easi-Bases are

FP McCann wide wall manholes have been designed with a tongue and
groove dimension to accommodate the use of bituminous sealant. An
FP McCann approved sealant should be used at all times. The sealant
requirement for wide wall manholes is 12mm x 120mm x 6m. When
placing sealing strip into position during installation, the ends of the strips
must be overlapped by a minimum of 30mm and cut at an angle of 60
degree. The cut ends must then be pressed together. Full installation
guidelines can be provided upon request or found at fpmccann.co.uk
DN1200, DN1500 and DN1800mm Wide Wall Manhole Chambers
A 130mm thick wide wall chamber in combination with the Easi-Base unit,
provides a sealed watertight manhole system. This robust design means
that the requirement for a concrete surround is eliminated.

Easi-Safe
fall arrest
system
Award winning safety solution for manhole construction
The client, consultant engineer, contractors and suppliers all have a duty
to mitigate hazards on site whenever reasonably practicable. One such
hazard identified is the risk of operatives falling through manhole openings particularly during the construction process and also in follow up
maintenance work.
Working with partners Severn Trent Water, engineer Grontmij and

contractor to the water sector, Morgan Sindall plc, FP McCann have
T
RO
designed a safety award winning solution. Easi-Safe is a temporary or

permanent fall arrest system that allows for safe working around the
manhole opening prior to the fitting of the ironwork.
In the construction of a manhole, operatives often work unprotected
from the opening at surface level when the final stages of completion
occur. This includes the final brickwork up to the manhole frame and the
mortar bedding of the frame itself.
With most standard cover slabs, the access point for man entry is open
and it is left to the contractor to cover on site. In many site situations
these openings remain for a number of days while gangs complete
phases of work. Easi-Safe immediately addresses this problem. The
future production of all standard access cover slabs will incorporate the
optional protective grid which will remain in the slab even when the final
D400 steel cover and frame are set in place at surface level.
The galvanised mild steel grid is available in four standard sizes: 610mm x 610mm
675mm x 675mm
750mm x 600mm
1200mm x 675mm
The Easi-Safe grid is seated on load bearing corners cast into a standard range of manhole cover slabs. As a temporary fall arrest system,
once the construction of the manhole is complete, the grid can be
removed prior to the fitting of the ironwork. Alternatively, Easi-Safe
can be a permanent fixture, left in place beneath the manhole lid. The
spacing between the bars allows for ease of inspection and jetting of the
manhole base during maintenance work.

management
Catchpit
The catchpit effectively provides a sealed sump manhole, a monolithic precast concrete unit fitted with
connector seals which can be used to connect to the following types of pipe: uPVC, twinwall, clay, ductile
iron and concrete. The catchpit is designed to accommodate pipe sizes DN150 to DN450. The catchpit is
designed in line with highway specification.
4-way units with orientations at 90 degrees can be produced upto DN300 only; beyond DN300 4-way
orientations are not available. DN450 inlets must be cored onsite.
Easi-Pit weight 1.38tonnes.
Benefits of using the Catchpit unit

Creates an immediate watertight structure
Cost benefits with reduction in construction time and resource requirement
Economically advantageous as limited wet trades are required in the manhole construction
Accommodates connection to all types of pipe used in road and manhole construction

Safety benefits gained in the construction of manholes as the pre-formed sump and connector seals
eliminate on site construction, thus greatly reducing labour activity within the manhole
Increased confidence to meet industry standards
Quality is greatly increased as construction is within the factory environment
Eliminates material wastage associated with current in-situ method
Yields environmental benefits with less concrete used on site and less excavated material removed from site

catchpit
Highways Agency Compliant EPDM flexible seal DN1050 CatchPit
Precast concrete catchpits with the new flexible rubber pipe connector seals can be utilised on a single lane
carriageway, replacing the requirement to cast a base sump in situ and construct the catchpit from a standard
DN1050 manhole ring.
The innovative EPDM 40 flexible rubber seal at the connection points can accommodate pipe sizes DN150 to
DN 300, including DN225. This negates the need to saw cut openings in the concrete wall and the use of wet
mortar trades to seal the pipe surround.
Catchpits are supplied with factory fitted pre-marked EPDM 40 rubber blanks. The unique rubber blank/seal
has pre-formed cutting grooves around the three DN entry sizes indicated. This allows for accurate cutting out
to pipe diameter requirement. There is no similar system available in the market. Once pipes are fitted into the
seal, up to 45 degrees of pipe deflection is permitted without breaking the seal.
The significant savings are in time, eliminating the need for follow-up finishing gangs. Added safety benefits
are keeping operative time in the excavation to a minimum and no power tools are required to cut concrete.
Indirect cost benefits are as a result of saving up to 26 hours of time related to curing of wet trades on a
traditional build.
Can be used in straight through, 90

connection or straight through with a cross
drain.
Requirements for catch pits are as specified in the MCHW 500 Series Clauses and MCHW 3: F Series Drawings. The MCHW clauses call for the catch pit to be in compliance with BS EN 1917 and BS5911. FP McCann catchpit products are manufactured under BSI Kitemark approval to comply with BS EN 1917 and BS
5911 and are therefore fully compliant to HA specification.
Once pipe is fitted to the connector, up
to 45 of deflection is possible without
breaking the seal.

JFC flow control device has been positioned correctly inside.
The Hydro-Valve is a device for controlling storm water flow by hydraulic

effect without requiring moving parts. At low flow rates, water entering
through the inlet passes through the vortex chamber to the outlet with
no restriction. As flow rate increases water enters through the inlet with
enough energy to create a vortex in the vortex chamber which results in
a considerable pressure drop between the inlet and the outlet restricting
the flow to the allowable discharge. The Hydro-Valve therefore operates
automatically with no moving parts and no external power source. A
typical application of this valve is to control the flow from storm water
attenuation tanks preventing downstream flooding during periods of
heavy rainfall.

handhold
and entry
pole system
The handhold entry pole system is suitable for aiding maintenance
engineers in the initial entry into a manhole from the surface level.
Once fitted, the entry pole is a permanent fitting in the manhole
which is stored in the lowered position beneath the level of the
cover. When required, the entry pole can be easily extended by simply
hooking the easy to reach loop located at the top of the pole, pulling
the handle upwards and twist locking into position. The handhold then
provides a stable support to aid the entrance of the manhole as
well as a clear visual indication of the location of the manhole when
open. This helps prevent injury of other people in the area. Once the
engineer has used the entry pole to aid their return to the surface, the
pole is simply twisted to unlock it from the raised position and lowered
back into the manhole ready for the next time it is needed.

The handhold has a pole length of 1200mm and can be assembled

storm water
management
drainage
& water
management
The production of water impermeable surfaces in construction is inevitable.

This includes roof areas on buildings, car parks, loading bays and road
pavements. The provisions of these surfaces interrupts the natural drainage
process, creating increased stormwater runoff in respect of both volume
and flow rate.
Structural
The inherent structural strength of concrete is well documented and can
be designed to meet the severest of loading criteria. Easi-Storm systems
can be tailored to suit low load situations when the tank is to be situated
below verges or gardens.
In many cases this increase in stormwater flow and volume is a problem

as the local sewer or watercourse does not have the sufficient capacity
to cope. This problem could be alleviated by an increase in the size of
the stormwater sewer or watercourse, thus providing the capacity within
the drainage system to cope with the increased surface water. This however may be expensive, cause major infrastructure disruption, and may
often be completely unfeasible.
Benefits
System can be designed specifically to suit the application

Key Benefits/Advantages of FP McCann Storm Management Systems
1. Flexibility of design - adaptable to meet client requirements
2. Products can be used in space restrictive on-line sewer systems
providing the required storage volume
3. Reduction in construction times
4. Quality assured and kite marked products used
5. Sustainable systems with design life in excess of 100 years
6. Site safety benefits related to reduction of man hours spent in
excavation

capture and re-use
Note
Concrete haunching should be used to provide local stiffening to the
concrete pipes with manhole entries. Use a minimum 150mm thickness
surround to the pipe, extending to a height of 300mm above the pipe,
in order to support the shaft joint.

hydrodynamic
separator
FP McCann have designed and developed a new range of Hydrodynamic

Separators for the treatment of urban catchment stormwater run-off.
The Hydrodynamic Separator provides a cost effective solution for
designers, engineers and contractors involved in the provision of
sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS). The unit has no moving
parts, requires no power and is constructed within standard precast
reinforced concrete chamber rings. All internal flow components are
manufactured in GRP ensuring long life performance.
Re-suspension of the solids is minimised by provision of a GRP baffle

Easi-Rain
harvesting
chambers
Easi-Rain by FP McCann is a bespoke range of precast water storage

chambers that are compatible with water harvesting systems for
residential, industrial / commercial and agricultural installations.
Capturing rainwater for re-use offers significant cost savings for the
user and benefits the environment by increasing water resources and
further enhancing water amenity. Easi-Rain complies with Environment
Agency SuDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage System) directives.
The basic concept of harvesting rainwater is simple - rainwater is
mostly collected from the roofs of buildings - it flows through gutters
and downspouts and is then filtered and collected by a storage tank.
From the tank it can be recirculated or treated to produce a better
quality of recycled water.

pipe lifter
Fit a Pipe Lifter to your excavator and you can lay
concrete pipes in around half the time with less
cost and less hassle but with greater safety.
Safer. No operative needed on vehicle during off loading or in trench
during pipe laying.
Easier. Simple to use. No special equipment & minimal training
required.
Faster. Around 50% saving on installation time.
Cheaper. Fewer operatives plus greater productivity.
The Concrete Pipe Lifter makes light work of the installation of waste
water pipelines. Simply attach it to your excavator in seconds, using a
quick-hitch coupling. There are no hydraulic links or additional energy
requirements.
There is no need for anyone to stand on the bed of the vehicle during
off-loading (the biggest cause of accidents during pipe laying). Theres
no need for anyone to stand in the trench during installation. And
there are no slings or chains to trap hands and fingers. The whole
operation is around 50% faster. And you can reduce the size of your
pipe laying gang, so costs are lower too.
The Concrete Pipe Lifter is suitable for standard UK specification BS
EN1916 concrete pipes from DN300 to DN1200.
The Manhole Lifter is a companion device that makes lifting manhole
rings a safe and easy, one-man operation. It eliminates the risk of
46
vehicle falls during off-loading. There are two versions available, for precast concrete manhole rings from DN900 to DN1800 and from DN2100
to DN3000. Its capable of lifting rings from 250 mm to 1000 mm deep.
