Stainless steel coupling N/H

KeraMat sleeve couplings type 2B with non-standard dimensionsTo complement our programme of original accessories, we take

pleasure in announcing the introduction of type 2B KeraMat sleeve

couplings in non-standard dimensions, which can be used for

coupling two spigots e.g. when retroactively installing junctions or

exchanging pipe sections. These sleeve couplings are made of a

special rubber-elastomer jointing ring (EPDM) fitted in a stain-

less steel jacket equipped with turnbuckles. Pipes with the same

internal diameter but different external diameters are fitted with

Keramat compensation elements at the factory. The lower side of

these elements is specially profiled to enhance the efficiency of the

joint.

KeraMat sleeve couplings with non-standard dimensions for pipes

with external diameters in the range of 190 mm to 1999 mm with a

width of 185 mm.

WROCAW BUILDS A NEW SYSTEM, REGENERATES AN OLD ONE

CONTINUATION OF THE EU PROJECT

601.2015 | PROJECT REPORT EUROPE

Piotr Kosz, Steinzeug-Keramo Sp. z o.o.

MPWik Sp. Z o.o. is the name of the municipal water-supply and

sewage-disposal company of the city of Wrocaw (Breslau) with a

population of 630,000 inhabitants, also serving some of the sur-

rounding towns and villages. The company manages and operates

a water-supply network about 2,000 km in length and a sewage

system of around 1,420 km for the disposal of wastewater. Obso-

lete pipelines the oldest ones date back to the year 1850 and

the development of housing areas around the edges of the city

have made it necessary to replace and expand many sections of

the sewage network in recent years.

Open and trenchlessBetween 2009 and 2014, three engineering offices contracted by

MPWik Wrocaw devoted their efforts to planning the new con-

struction of a sewage network with a total length of 93 km and to

the regeneration of a further 6.6 km of sewage pipes. The subsoil

conditions alternating strata of sand, clayey sand, gravel, and

clay, in some cases below the groundwater table posed no major

problems for the installation of the pipes in the open-trench meth-

od or using trenchless construction when it came to overcoming

obstacles. The depth of the installation operations varied between

1.00 and 6.20 meters. The vitrified clay pipes installed in the open-

trench method were of the DN 150 to DN 300 dimensions, while

vitrified clay jacking pipes of the dimensions DN 150 to DN 400

were used for the trenchless method (see table).

Experienced and cost-efficientBased on experience and taking cost-efficiency aspects into con-

sideration, the responsible engineers didnt need long to opt for

pipe systems made of vitrified clay: for them the decisive criteria

were the long service life, the high resistance to abrasion, and the

pipes resistance to chemical impact, and last but not least the

targeted depreciation period of 80 to 100 years.

VITRIFIED CLAY FOR FLEMISH ARTISTS COLONY

NOT JUST PIPES 29 MANHOLES, TOO


Joeri Hamal, Steinzeug-Keramo N.V.

Sint-Martens-Latem - Deurle is a double township in the Belgian

province of East Flanders, a mere 15-minute drive from Ghent. This

small town proudly boasts the byname of Artists Colony, since

this is the birthplace of Flemish expressionism. Along the idyllic

banks of the Leie river, numerous painters, sculptors, writers, and

poets once drew their artistic inspiration from Mother Nature.

Expansion of the sewage networkBut even colonies of artists need a properly regulated and safe

infrastructure, and this naturally extends to the matter of sewage

disposal. Last year, when new buildings were being constructed

on the eastern edge of the town in a council housing project, the

Vlaamse maatschappij voor sociaal wonen (a public, autonomous

agency for selling and leasing residential property) and the private

Matexi N.V. company expanded the sewage network accordingly:

1,000 meters of vitrified clay pipes of the DN 250 diameter and

690 meters of house connections in the DN 150 dimension were

installed in the open-trench construction method, and the entire

system was rounded off by the installation of 29 manholes at a

depth of about 4.00 meters. The operator of this new system will

be the Farys Water Board in close cooperation with the municipal

authorities, the body already responsible for the existing network.

The Flemish artists village decides in favour of system solu-tions made of vitrified clay.

Switch to the separate systemWhen planning this new construction project, the decision was also

made to switch from the combined wastewater system to the sep-

arate system as a measure to ease the load on the wastewater

treatment plant. This also means, however, that the wastewater will

dwell in the pipe system for a longer time, that the system will be

flushed by smaller volumes of water, and hence that the potential

for corrosion will be greater. No problem in the eyes of the special-

ists responsible for the project, however: they came down in favour

of a system using parts made of vitrified clay both for the pipes

and fittings, and also for the manholes, since vitrified clay is a guar-

antee of the highest degree of corrosion resistance and tightness

throughout the entire pipeline system.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE SEEWINKEL HOUSING ESTATE IN POING

SWIFT INSTALLATION OF 4,760 METERS OF VITRIFIED CLAY PIPES

The Upper Bavarian municipality of Poing, around 23 km east of Mu-

nich, is an aspiring growth community in the administative district

of Ebersberg: once a small village, Poing has meanwhile emerged

to become an attractive residential community with a population of

almost 14,500 inhabitants, a figure that is set to grow to between

17,000 and 20,000 by the year 2020. After the construction of the

Zauberwinkel residential estate and with the completion of the

new W6 living quarter, the Seewinkel estate, which together will

house 1,400 people, the township is making a large step forward

towards reaching this target.

13 hectares developed in no timeThe Munich-based GFM engineering consultancy company set out

the development of the site starting with the layout of the sewage

system in the W6 Seewinkel

project back in 2011, and the cli-

ent, gKu VE | Mnchen-Ost, put

out its invitation for public bids

in 2012. At the end of 2013, the

Richard Sem Bau GmbH con-

struction company excavated the

first trenches for the installation of

the sewage pipes over a total sur-

face area of 130,000 m2. All main

pipes and house connections in

the new residential estate were

made using vitrified clay products,

including 1,260 meters in the DN

150 dimension, 3,000 m in the DN

200 dimension, and 500 m in the

DN 250 dimension. They are all

laid above the groundwater table

in the gravelly subsoil that is typ-

ical of this region.

The sewage-system construction operations were finished in mid-

2014, and on 30 October 2014 the ARGE Poing Am Bergfeld

consortium handed over the utility roads and the sewage systems

in the Poing Seewinkel residential construction zone to the town-

ship.


of by the GFM Beratende Ingenieure GmbH consultancy company,

Munich, and in September 2013 the SWIETELSKY Baugesellschaft

mbH company, Ebersberg, broke the ground for the installations.

Secure basis in the entire industrial estateSince there was more than enough space available on the green-

field site, the decision for the construction of the sewage system by

the open trench method was an easy one to take. Over the entire

industrial estate, all main pipe systems and all property drainage

pipes up to the manhole have been constructed using vitrified clay

pipes: about 2,000 meters of vitrified clay pipes of different diameters

(see table) and the corresponding number of fittings were laid in the

gravelly subsoil above the groundwater level, involving the excavation

of about 7,000 m of soil.

Despite project-related interruptions, the construction activities

were completed in March 2014.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE PARSDORF INDUSTRIAL ESTATE

BLANKET COVERAGE 2,000 METERS OF VITRIFIED CLAY PIPES

In May last year the deal was sealed: the last plot of land in the new

industrial estate in Parsdorf, a part of the township of Vaterstetten,

just five minutes by car east of the Neue Messe Mnchen (New Mu-

nich Trade Fair Centre) and with direct access to the A 94 autobahn.

The Parsdorf industrial estate had officially taken off just one month

earlier with the ground-breaking ceremony for a DIY superstore. By

the end of the year, the once green meadows had been turned into a

busy construction site. In facilities with a total floor space of 210,000

m, enterprises, retailers, specialist stores, gastronomy, traders, and

service providers one by one moved in to take up business; the de-

velopment zones and green spaces extend over a further 90,000 m.

More than 250 million euros were invested in buildings and infrastruc-

ture, and about 1,000 jobs have been created.

First underground, then on topThe phase between the first cut of the greenfield location and the

start of overground construction activities, however, was taken up

with the measures necessary to develop the site, for example the

installation of the supply and disposal infrastructure. These meas-

ures naturally also include a safe and reliably functioning wastewater

drainage system; in Parsdorf, these activities are the responsibility of

the gKu VE | Mnchen-Ost Ver- und Entsorgung company, based

in the nearby town of Poing. This company put out the sewage sys-

tem project for public tender in 2013; the planning was taken care


MICROTUNNELLING IN PEAT

LBECK USES AN ASSESSMENT MATRIX


Jrgen Schneider, Steinzeug-Keramo GmbH

Client and planning: Entsorgungsbetriebe Lbeck, Lbeck | Construction: ARGE Geniner Ufer: Baugesellschaft Bergemann-Grper mbH & Co. KG, Lbeck; Bauunternehmen Echterhoff GmbH & Co KG, Hamburg; interra Microtunnelbau GmbH, Crimmitschau

Entsorgungsbetriebe Lbeck, the waste-management company

publicly owned by the Hanseatic city of Lbeck, operates a waste-

water network with a total length of about 1,000 km, mainly as a

separate system comprising 391 km of pipes for foul wastewater

and 382 km of pipes for rain and surface water. The wastewater is

led via a combined wastewater system over a distance of 135 km,

and by a pressurized system for a further 78 km. A 630-meter-long

section of damaged wastewater pipes beneath the Geniner Ufer,

a stretch of the bank of the Trave Canal, has now recently been

regenerated using the microtunnelling method.

A challenging combinationThe geological constraints and the subsoil conditions in the Lbeck

region pose a number of problems: man-made banks of soil, dense

inhomogenous layers of peat, fine sand, silt, and clay piled on top

of each other, meaning that the groundwater horizons can shift

repeatedly. The choice of the appropriate construction method thus

depends on an exact knowledge of the subsoil on the site together

with an accurate assessment of the various methods available and

of the prevailing traffic conditions.

Careful reviewDrillings made along the Geniner Ufer yielded the following picture:

Beneath a three-meter-thick layer of man-made river bank bearing

one aquifer, a seven-meter-thick inhomogenous stratum of peat

(slightly too strongly decomposed forest-swamp peat) with depos-

its of fine sand. Under this layer, sands containing a second dynam-

ic aquifer, so-called Artesian water.

After thorough and highly specific planning, careful appraisal of the

geological constraints, and assessing the various construction and

jacking techniques available, Entsorgungsbetriebe Lbeck decided

to construct the 630-meter-long wastewater pipeline with vitrified

clay pipes by the microtunnelling method.

A clean installationAfter being awarded the contract for the project, in November 2013

the ARGE Geniner Ufer consortium, comprising the construction

companies Bergemann-Grper mbH & Co. KG in Lbeck, Ech-

terhoff GmbH & Co KG in Hamburg, and interra Microtunnelbau

GmbH in Crimmitschau started the preliminary excavation work.

A starting shaft 3,200 mm in diameter was excavated to a depth

of approximately 6.50 m i.e. bang in the centre of the peat layer.

From the bottom of this shaft, DN 400 vitrified clay jacking pipes

were then jacked through the subsoil using an AVM 400 jacking

device made by Herrenknecht AG. Before this work could be start-

ed, first a deep well had to be dug directly next to the starting shaft

to relieve the pressure of the second aquifer, the Artesian water

directly beneath the peat stratum.

The pipeline distances that were achieved in this way were between

50 m and 85 m in length. Both the DN 3,200 starting shaft and the

DN 2,600 target shaft were converted into inspection manholes

after the jacking operations had been completed.

A normal way of financingEven if theyre embedded in a highly aggressive peat milieu, the

vitrified clay pipes will do their job: reliably, safely, sustainably. Ent-

sorgungsbetriebe Lbeck have set a depreciation period of 70

years and can comfortably finance the costs for the regeneration

of the sewage system from their completely normal wastewater

levies.

REHABILITATION BY REGENERATION

WRMTAL TOWNSHIPS MAKE A WISE DECISION



Ever since 1960, the townships of Gauting, Krailling, Planegg, and

Grfelfing that make up the Wrmtal community, located just south-

west of the Munich city limits, have had a central wastewater drain-

age system. Originally constructed by the Wrmtal Water Board, it

has made a major contribution to stopping the ever deteriorating

quality of the waters of the Wrm river. Today the water board feeds

off the separated wastewater via a sewage system with a total length

of about 200 km, with a spread of around 10,000 house connec-

tions with an average connection length of approx. 5 m; almost 185

km of the sewage system is accounted for by vitrified clay pipes.

Planegg renews 370 m of sewage pipes and 28 connec-tions In the Planegg township with its some 11,000 inhabitants, the next

stage of the project was to regenerate the wastewater pipes and

the house connections in the Bahnhofstrasse. Rehabilitation by

regeneration was the approach chosen by the Wrmtal Water

Board as the client and operator, not least for reasons of econo-

my: regeneration guarantees a substantially longer service life than

simply rehabilitation, and the excavation of the pipeline system also

enabled other technical installations to be done at the same time.

The planning took four years, and the final planning of the installa-

tions started in the autumn of 2013.

Over a period of 5 months, the Wadle Bauunternehmung GmbH

company installed about 370 m of vitrified clay pipes in the DN

250 and DN 300 diameters in the Bahnhofstrasse construction site.

To keep the construction time as short as possible, at the same

time the house connections were renewed, in most cases using the

bursting method. The construction activities were designed not to

interfere with the local traffic, since the Bahnhofstrasse is the main

shopping street in Planegg.

Grfelfing follows Planeggs leadThe situation in the neighbouring township of Grfelfing with its

13,000 inhabitants is similar to the one in Planegg: Grfelfing is also

part of the Wrmtal community whose sewage disposal is taken care

of by the Wrmtal Water Board; here too, the wastewater system

was in need of renewal, and in three streets all at once. Rehabili-

tation by regeneration was the call of the day here, too, also taking

advantage of the new construction approach to improve the hydrau-

lic efficiency by enlarging the cross-section of the pipe system. Al-

though the project was planned in 2011/2012, due to overlaps with

other construction measures and the re-routing of the road traffic

that these measures involved, the start had to be delayed until 2014.

Over a period of 3 months, the Richard Schulz Tiefbau GmbH

& Co. KG company installed about 370 m of vitrified clay pipes

in diameters of DN 200 to DN 400 in the Pasinger Strasse, the

Immelmannstrasse, and the Drosselgasse. Here, too, the work

was carried out without interfering with the road traffic a specially

challenging situation, since as a feeder road for the highway and a

designated diversion route for highway traffic the Pasinger Strasse

has a very high traffic volume. The passage of the pipeline beneath

the nearby Wrm river made it necessary to install the pipes at a

depth of as much as 5 meters.

Conserving the value for both townshipsThe rehabilitation by regeneration approach is a wise decision in

both cases: on the one hand it is a farsighted option with a long-

term impact, and on the other hand, it goes a long way to pre-

serving the assets of the water board: unlike a typical rehabilitation

project, regeneration is not just for an indefinite period of time, but

instead an approach that benefits this and many other generations

to come after all, everything is new!

Mit der Cradle to Cradle-Zertifizierung setzen unsere Produkte einen weiteren Mastab im Verantwortungsbewusstsein fr Mensch und Umwelt. Steinzeug-Keramo. Inspired by Nature.

Das gemeinsame Bewusstsein strkenZusammengefasst gilt: Steinzeugrohre erfllen die anspruchsvollen kologischen Anforderun-gen. Ihre herausragenden technischen, chemischen und physikalischen Eigenschaften, wie hohe Festigkeit, Dichtigkeit und Hrte sowie hohe Verschlei- und Korrosionsfestigkeit, vereinen einzigartige Vorteile. Steinzeug ist zu 100 % wiederverwertbar. Steinzeugrohre sind darber hinaus wirtschaftlich sie verkrpern eine lange Nutzungsdauer bei geringem Wartungs- und Instandhaltungsaufwand. Unter Bercksichtigung dieser Nutzungsdauer stehen sie fr die kostengnstige Sicherung des Anlagevermgens. Und Steinzeugrohre sind generationengerecht: Ihre Lebensdauer von mehr als 100 Jahren schont die Ressourcen und minimiert die finanzielle Belastung durch Sanierung und Reparatur.

DAS ZERTIFIKAT: BEKENNTNIS UND VERPFLICHTUNG.

Das Zertifikat unterstreicht unsere herausragen-den Produkteigenschaften. Cradle to Cradle ist aber kein abgeschlossener Vorgang, sondern ein stetiger Prozess. Im Gegensatz zu bekannten Zertifizierungen wird das Cradle to Cradle-Zertifikat nur auf Zeit vergeben. Um es fr unsere Produkte dauerhaft zu sichern, mssen wir Inhaltsstoffe und Produktionsprozesse immer weiter optimieren und an neue, zunehmend lassen anspruchsvollere Kriterien anpassen.
