KERAPORT | Manholes
Extremely corrosion-resistant and leakproof.

Manholes, like every other sewer system component, need to meet increasingly greater requirements. For a number
of reasons, effluent is now significantly more aggressive than even just a few years ago. A major aspect, to name just
one example, is the fact that people use more warm water than in the past, which has led to changes in the chemical
reactions that take place in the sewer system. In addition, wastewater now often has to be transported across further
distances. Reliable sewer systems must therefore provide maximum levels of corrosion-resistance and tightness on a
permanent basis. As such, there is a growing focus on the quality of manholes in sewer systems, both for public sector
and private customers.
For sewage treatment plants to work efficiently, sewer infiltration water from leaky sewer manholes must be avoided at
all costs. Steinzeug-Keramo optimally meets this requirement profile with its KeraPort range of manholes. Like no other
material, vitrified clay stands for corrosion-resistance and tightness in wastewater transport. Every vitrified clay manhole
is manufactured according to individual specifications.

PLANNING.
IMPORTANT BASIC PRINCIPLES.
Reliable quality
Pipes and fittings that comply with prevalent standards are characterised by their invariable properties above and beyond their service life as sewer pipelines. This is subject to the one essential
condition that they must be planned, installed, operated and maintained inside and outside
buildings in accordance with the requirements stipulated in EN 752, EN 1610 and EN 12056.
37
INFOPOOL
HYDRAULICS
CALCULATOR
Hydraulic technology
In the hydraulic planning of vitrified clay pipelines, the values of wall roughness correspond to the
values of all the other raw working materials. This applies to the entire service life of drains and sewers that are affected by deposits and biological slurry. Either the Colebrook-White (Prandtl-Colebrook equation) or the Manning/Strickler method can be used as calculation methods.
INFOPOOL
STATICS CALCULATOR
Static calculations
Vitrified clay pipes and fittings are considered bend-proof
for the static calculation of drains and sewers according
to the methods defined in EN 1295-1. Due to their own
load-bearing capacity, they can directly bear soil and traffic loads. Throughout the entire service life of drains and
sewers, there should be no cases of pipe deformation or
changes to the pipe diameters caused by external or internal load effects.
The manufacturer provides information on the nominal wall
thickness and/or the wall outer diameter. The strength of
vitrified clay pipes and fittings remains invariable throughout the entire service life of drains and sewers. Furthermore, vitrified clay pipes are resistant to alternating stress
from road and rail traffic.
38
BASICS | Planning principles
Installation
Installation of vitrified clay pipes and fittings in open trenches is to be done in compliance with
EN 1610. Using flexible joints ensures flexibility in underground drainage systems the pipe
system can adapt itself to soil settlements and movements. Suitably flexible joints are also used
for connecting pipelines to entry and inspection manholes and buildings, and help to counter
additional strains and stresses from uneven settlements between the pipes and the building
structure.
Operation and Maintenance

Drainage and sewer systems made of vitrified clay pipes and fittings meet the
requirements of EN 752 and EN 12056. They are considered as ready-to-use
and fully functional at all times.
Reasons:
The high chemical resistance of vitrified clay pipes and fittings and their
joints
The functional properties of the pipes, that remain unaffected by effluent
Easy removal of existing deposits from the smooth ceramic inner lining
of the pipe, which remains unchanged throughout the systems entire life
cycle
High resistance to high-pressure water jetting
High resistance to the effects of mechanical cleaning equipment
and other maintenance devices
High mechanical resistance to abrasive wear
No restrictions of daily operations during rehabilitation measures either
when replacing pipes in open or trenchless construction, or in repair or
renovation processes

Economical
The long service life of more than 100 years and the low maintenance requirements of vitrified
clay sewage systems are crucial parameters for their cost-efficiency. With only minimum asset
erosion, they maintain their value as a fixed asset. Local authorities ultimately have a social duty
to ensure that sewage disposal is financed via the wastewater charges. With vitrified clay pipe
systems, the sewage system is refinanced over the long service lifetime with low depreciation
rates (1.0 1.5 percent) and consequently low fees. Affordable and one-time establishment of
wastewater disposal is a special obligation.
Environmentally sound
Safety, tightness and reliability are important factors for environmental soundness. Vitrified clay
pipe systems comply: they behave neutrally in soil and groundwater, i.e., no exchanges take
place between sewage/soil/groundwater via the material. Resistance to abrasion and corrosion
are also ensured. It goes without saying that the natural character of this raw material, its mining,
and the 100 percent recyclability also speak for the eco-friendliness of vitrified clay.
Intergenerational equity
Using vitrified clay pipes for sewage system construction saves future generations the constant
financial burden of maintenance and renovation work. The expected life cycle that exceeds a
century represents significant savings in terms of resources and capital.
Cradle to Cradle-certifiedCM
In contemporary manufacturing processes, used materials typically end up in the grave, i.e., the
waste container or incinerator. With the implementation of Cradle to Cradle, products and all their
components flow as resources in infinite material cycles. The program marks a mindset change from
a linear system with a beginning and an end to an infinite loop system.

Components
Vitrified clay pipes are standardised according to EN 295, parts 1 to 7,
Vitrified clay pipes and fittings and pipe joints for drains and sewers.
Furthermore, the products are manufactured according to the certification program ZP WN 295, which includes even higher requirements than
EN 295.
Due to the implementation of the norm in building regulations, a special
authorisation of the products by Deutsches Institut fr Bautechnik
(DIBt, German Institute for Civil Engineering) is not necessary.
Quality assurance is provided by self-monitoring and external monitoring,
with DIN CERTCO as the external monitoring body for vitrified clay products. The DINplus mark on all products (label on every pipe and fitting)
guarantees the technical properties according to EN 295 and ZP WN 295.
It also verifies that a quality management system according to
ISO 9001:2008 is in place and has been applied.

CONSTRUCTION WORK | Unloading and transport, storage
UNLOADING AND TRANSPORT
In cooperation with our business partners, we can directly deliver to any construction site efficiently and on time using our safe reusable packaging system.
At the construction site, the pipes and fittings can be unloaded with ease and
examined for possible transport damage. This examination is done by dusting the shaft ends with talcum powder. Any further transport of pipes and
fittings on the construction site itself also has to be carried out with suitable
machinery.
STORAGE
Pipes are safely stored at the construction site with the aid of the
mini-in-maxipack packaging system.
Individual pipes need to lie on timber
beams; fittings are stored either on
mesh pallets or individually upright
on the socket.
43
CONSTRUCTION WORK | Installation
INSTALLATION
As a matter of principle, only the original KeraMat lubricant that is included in
every delivery may be used.
Vitrified clay pipes of small and medium diameters can be inserted with a
wooden timber and a crow bar. Pipes with larger diameters are assembled
with a grip hoist or winch.
When manufacturing pipe joints in DN 200 and above, it must be ensured
that the marking of the pipe crown is face up. When installing junctions in DN
350 and above, it is important to differentiate between the junctions that feed
in from the left and the right.
The vitrified clay pipes must be installed in such a way that they are on a level
with the shaft and positioned centrally in the trench. Socket holes have to be
dug for the sockets.
In case of frost, the trench floor has to be protected as vitrified clay pipes
must not be installed on frozen surfaces. Installation can still take place in
temperatures below 0C as long as the necessity for slightly higher insertion
forces, depending on the outside temperature, is taken into consideration.
Comparably, the seals are tested up to a temperature of -10C.
For nominal sizes larger than DN 1000, the pipes are inserted
horizontally into the guide ring.

The method of supporting and bedding the pipes has a major influence on
the positioning and load-bearing capacity of the pipeline.
The vitrified clay pipes must be installed in such a way that they are on a
level with the shaft and that neither linear nor selective support occurs and a
uniform load distribution is guaranteed. As mentioned before, pipes should
be placed centrally in the trench. The minimal width of the trench according
to EN 1610 must be adhered to.

Special designs
In special cases, hydraulically bound material such as concrete is used as

bedding material. Construction measures or static conditions may have an
impact on determining the concrete bedding.
Concrete bedding with an effective support angle of 90, 120 or 180 corresponds to bedding type 1 according to EN 1610. The width is calculated
via the a value (a = 10 cm + DN/10) or the trench width.

COMPACTION AND BACKFILLING

Mechanical compaction is carried out in layers of 15 to
30 cm.
When using vitrified clay pipes, for grain sizes >40 mm
in the first layer of the main filling to be compacted, the
cover layer has to be at least 300 mm thick.
Recommendation:
If possible, use the in-situ soil as
filling material for the trench.
Manhole connections and connectors
Supple short pipe connectors are

used to compensate for settlements/
ground irregularities between, for instance, manholes and the pipeline.
The flexibility of the pipe joints can
incorporate any settlements.

TESTING | Regulations
IMPORTANT REGULATIONS.
CLEAR RECOMMENDATIONS.
Testing the installed pipelines
After the pipelines have been installed, the following inspections and/or tests according to EN 1610, section 12,
need to be carried out: visual inspection, tightness, embedment zone, main filling, compaction and pipe deformation
(not necessary for vitrified clay pipes). Tightness tests for pipelines, manholes and inspection chambers are to be
done according to EN 1610, section 13.1, either by means of the air testing method (L) or the water testing method
(W). A preliminary test can be carried out before the side bedding is added. Approval tests require the testing of the
pipelines after filling and removal of the trench lining material. When performing the test for open trench construction,
the connections can be tightly sealed with stoppers and spring clips or rapid-fit stoppers (only testing method W).
Fixing devices are to be secured against movements and must be form-fit! Leakages in the sealing devices and the
testing device must be avoided. With testing method W, proof of tightness is determined via the water loss under
test pressure during the testing time (value W30), and with testing method L, via the value of pressure drop during
the testing time.
Recommendation: Use air pressure test method LC 100

If a socket test is necessary for technical reasons, all

used test devices should be double packer devices to
minimise leaks between packer and pipe wall.
Due to the complex and error-prone measurement technology, all results from individual tests are assessed in
a deviation evaluation, in relation to the pipeline length.

ITEM FOR ITEM.
Resistance to
chemical/physical attack
mechanical stresses
The functionality of the pipes is not affected in any way
at all by external factors both in terms of safety and
their reliability for sewage water transport.
Naturalness of the raw materials
Clay, water and grog the mixture is as natural as it
gets. And the environment benefits right from the word
go.
Strength, tightness and hardness
All three properties stand for the long service life
no other pipe material can lay claim to practical
experience spanning around 3,000 years.
Abrasion and corrosion resistance
Even long-term stress has no impact on the reliable
functional properties, whether in the form of acid attack,
abrasion or sewage deposits.
Stability of the properties under the influence of
wastewater, groundwater and soil
The properties of vitrified clay are literally set in stone
irrespective of the surrounding environment.
Neutral behavior towards groundwater and soil
Drinking water comes from groundwater, our ground
serves agriculture it is therefore all the more important
to make no impact, to trigger no reactions, to leave no
deposits.
Service life
Vitrified clay stands for a success story that goes beyond a lifetime in terms of the environment, economic
viability and sustainability.
Maintenance and repair costs
Both are low which is not only good for public funds,
but also saves future generations from investment backlogs.
Recyclability
Natural raw materials are returned to the natural cycle,
thus relieving the strain on nature, resources and production.
Environmental aspects
Vitrified clay meets all the requirements of an environmentally relevant material from the mining of the raw
material to the manufacturing process to recycling.
Sustainability
With vitrified clay products, the three pillars of ecology,
economy and social responsibility stand on a firm foundation. No other material is so sustainable.
Cradle to Cradle
Like nature, vitrified clay undergoes a closed cycle
without any waste, with only a minimum use of resources, and without burdening the environment.
