Pipes and Chambers
Culvert pipes
A reliable solution for ditching, underpassing
and rainwater drainage
Culvert pipes are used to convey drain pipe water or
rainwater under the ground. The smallest (110 mm) culvert
pipes are used to convey rainwater falling on buildings
from the rainwater chamber to the water chamber and for
technical drain pipe systems around buildings. A wide range
of different couplings and chambers is available for the 110
mm system, enabling the use of the product in a variety
of environments. Larger culvert pipes are used as joint
culverts or extensions of ditches. Culvert pipes can also be
applied for other purposes, such as drain pipe inspection
chambers or column moulds.
The pipes are made of durable polyethylene, and their ring
stiffness class is SN4 or SN8, depending on the application.
The culvert pipes are twin-wall pipes with a corrugated
outer surface and smooth inner surface. The twin-wall
structure enables higher ring stiffness and a good flow
rate without compromising the low weight that makes the
culverts easy to handle.
Technical data
Pipes in the SN4 strength class are suitable for applications Material polyethylene (HDPE)
with lighter loads, such as fields, private road junctions and
yards and green areas. Ring stiffness SN4 or SN8
Pipes in the SN8 strength class are used in traffic areas, Outer surface colour black
road construction and other applications with heavier loads. Inner surface colour SN8 culvert pipe – blue
The selection of the strength class depends on the load, SN8 drain pipe – white

Pressure and sewer pipes
Pressure pipes are used as water pipes in conveying cold water, as pressure and
gradient drains and in the tight-in-pipe renovation of old pipe systems.

Water chambers
Water chambers are used as branch chambers for drain pipe water and
rainwater, in both areas covered by municipal infrastructure and at
properties not covered by it.
When rainwater and drain pipe water are conveyed into one
discharge pipe, it must be ensured that rainwater cannot
enter the drain pipe in the event of problems, causing
the ground by the foundations to become wet instead of
draining it. Water chambers are equipped with a ball float
valve for this purpose. If the water level in the chamber
rises due to a blockage or unusually heavy rainfall, the ball
float valve blocks the inlet connection of the drain pipe and
ensures that the drain pipe system works even in extreme
conditions.
The dimensioning of a water chamber is influenced by the
size and roof area of the building. The roof area of a large
building, such as a terraced house or an industrial building,
collects a lot of rainwater, and a large amount of drain pipe
water is collected around the foundations of the building.
Due to this, the amount of water flowing through the water
chamber is larger than for detached houses or holiday
homes.

plastic cover.
Sewer inspection
chamber package
The sewer inspection chamber package can be used to
combine intersecting sewer lines, with the chamber working
as an inspection, service and branch chamber.
The sewer inspection chamber packages have an
intersecting PRO bottom element in which the bottoms
of the inlet connections are at slightly different heights,
enabling the inspection of the sewer line flow rates. The
inspection chamber packages feature a telescopic pipe and
cast-iron cover, so the chamber can also be installed on a
vehicle route.

Rainwater chambers
Rainwater chambers are used to collect rainwater, storm
water and melt water from the surface of the ground.
The chambers are equipped with a cast-iron grating cover
and a large sediment chamber, which prevents sand and
other fine materials that pass through the grating from
getting into the pipe system. The rainwater chambers have
one discharge connection. In addition, the required number
of inlet connections can be added to the chamber on the
site using lead-through seals.

Sewer inspection
pipe package
The sewer inspection pipe package is used as an inspection
and service pipe for a single sewer line. A straight sewer line
must be equipped with inspection pipes at certain distances,
so any clogging or breakage of the sewer line can be located
and serviced.
