BS 5911-3:2010 Concrete pipes and ancillary concrete products - Specification for unreinforced and reinforced concrete manholes and soakaways (complementary to BS EN 1917:2002)
BS EN 1917 specifies requirements and describes test methods for
precast concrete manholes of circular, rectangular (with or without
chamfered or rounded corners) or elliptical cross?section, unreinforced,
steel fibre and reinforced, with nominal sizes or nominal lengths
not exceeding DN 1250 or LN 1250, respectively. The intended use of
BS EN 1917 is to permit access to, and to allow aeration of, drain or
sewer systems for the conveyance of sewage, rainwater and surface
water under gravity or occasionally at low head of pressure, mainly
installed in areas subjected to vehicular and/or pedestrian traffic.
This part of BS 5911 specifies complementary requirements to those
in BS EN 1917 for unreinforced and reinforced concrete manholes
of circular and rectangular cross?section (with or without chamfered
or rounded corners), as provided for in BS EN 1917, i.e. units with
nominal sizes or nominal lengths not exceeding DN 1250 or LN 1250,
respectively. Full requirements for unreinforced and reinforced concrete
manholes with nominal sizes greater than DN 1250, but not exceeding
DN 3000, are also specified. The manholes are intended to be installed
in carriageways of roads (including pedestrian streets), hard shoulders
and parking areas for all types of road vehicles, though provision is
also made for units subject to lighter traffic loading. Requirements for
soakaways, landing slabs and corbel slabs are also specified.
BS EN 752, BS EN 1295?1 and BS EN 1610 deal with the planning,
design, installation and testing of drains and sewers.
