Having been in business for 86 years, Interflow has proven it knows a thing or two about longevity. Right now, that requires an all-encompassing sustainability strategy, as Richard McCarthy, Interflow’s executive general manager southern region, explained.

The number and arrangement of the injection nozzles per lubrication station are usually constant. In addition to the control of all existing valves, it is possible to change the positions of the injection nozzles in the cross-section at successive lubrication stations in order to realize an almost uniformly distributed lubricant injection at the pipe circumference [Schoesser2013].

The special loads during lifting and transport of the pipes must be taken into account. In particular, transport via a centric stop (cast-in anchor or centrally positioned pipe gripper) activates bending loads for which the pipes must be dimensioned. For pipes with smaller pipe diameters, it is advisable, if possible, to support the pipe via the outer pipe wall or from the inner pipe wall.

To facilitate the jointing of the pipes, the socket area should be greased in advance. The lubricant used must be free of plasticizers or other ingredients that could damage the compression seal.

Important:

Attention: Only the lubricant permitted by the manufacturer may be used.

Compliance with the gradient is particularly important in the case of gravity pipelines and sewers. The pipes must therefore be installed precisely according to direction and elevation within the limits specified by the planning. To ensure this, a pipe laser with target plate is used.

Pipe laser functions are:

  • Determination, transmission and control of horizontal or inclined pipelines
  • Determining, transferring and checking horizontal and inclined …

Shoring may only be removed if it has become dispensable due to backfilling of the trench or other construction measures.

Horizontal timber shoring:

1 to 2 planks are to be removed depending on the soil; the filling material / soil is to be brought in and compacted against the native soil.

Trench shoring equipment:

The respective manufacturer's instructions for use are to be observed for the removal. The following steps, for example, are to be carried …

The water replacement test method is used in coarse-grained sands, gravelly sands, in mixed soils (slope debris) in which stable pits can be excavated. Water replacement with the help of a plastic film or soft rubber skin allows to measure the volume in very permeable coarse-grained soils.

The volume of the test pit (Vg) is determined from the mass of water required (difference weighing of the bucket before and after) and from the density of the liquid …
