4.8 Backfilling excavation pit
4.9 Installing the shaft cover
4.7 Tests before backfilling and impermeability test
Shaft covers and concrete support rings
are not included in the scope of delivery
of FRÄNKISCHE Rohrwerke and must
be supplied on site.
Cover and cone are generally load sepa-
rated, i.e., cone and extension pipe are
not subject to vertical forces from the free
cover bearing. The free bearing transfers
loads from the surface to the cover directly
to the load-bearing underground.
Install shaft covers according to DIN EN
124, CW 610, with ventilation openings,
installation according to design specifi-
cations. You may put support rings
according to DIN 4034 on a respective
bearing under the shaft cover. We
recommend using the BARD ring from
FRÄNKISCHE's range of accessories as
bearing.
The shaft cover can be placed on a
10-mm-thick mortar joint to avoid sta-
tionary loads between equalisation ring
and shaft cover. Create the bearing from
compacted bearing layer material (EV2
module ≥ 100MN/m²) or in-situ concrete
of at least C 16/20. Avoid connections of
the bearing with the cone of the exten-
sion pipe by any means (use casing
aid!). Vertical loads may only be trans-
ferred to the load-bearing underground.
The cone can be cut to length as
specified in Section 4.4.
Before backfilling the excavation pit,
check the system for proper installation
and leak-tightness.
The following tests must be performed
in particular:
Backfill the excavation pit according to
design specifications. Compact material
layer by layer. Comply with DIN EN 1610
and/or country-specific regulations.
Make sure to compact the area around
the extension pipe evenly and do not
shift the pipe while doing so.

FRÄNKISCHE | IM MM SediPoint14
4. Installation
4.9.2 Optional: connection set
Use appropriate and approved lifting
equipment, operating wrenches and
means of transport for transporting
and opening / closing the cover only.
Observe the maximum load of the shaft
cover also during the construction period.
Cover and extension pipe are generally
load separated, i.e., the extension pipe
is not subject to vertical forces from the
free cover bearing. The free bearing
transfers loads from the surface to the
cover directly to the load-bearing under-
ground.
The cast iron cover can be integrated in
the road surface without any problems.
As soon as the road superstructure is
being prepared, the bearing for the shaft
covers must be created.
Prepare a lean concrete bearing of min.
10cm for a safe and free load transfer
from the cover to the building ground.
Include an expansion joint between the
bearing and extension pipe.
The bearing surface for the frame must
be even. The frame of the shaft cover
must rest on the bearing with its entire
contact area.
If the cover is outside the road, the
bearing for the cover must be prepared
separately at least from non-cohesive,
compactable material. The professional
compaction with appropriate equipment
is essential (compaction 98% DPR
according to ZTV StB). If required, a
bearing made of lean concrete makes
sense in this case, too.
Using plate compactors or vibrating rollers
on the shaft covers is not permitted.
Clean the covers, in particular the contact
surfaces, after the work has been com-
pleted and/or after every opening.
Use common hexagonal wrenches M10
to screw connect the cover with the frame.
The optional connection set includes a class D shaft cover.
4.10 Filling the system
After the work has been completed, the
system must be refilled with water up to
the outlet. This is required to ensure the
retention of floatables and light liquids
through the immersion wall.

5. Cleaning
In order to ensure long-term smooth
operation of the system, it is necessary to
carry out cleaning at reasonable intervals.
The recommended cleaning interval is
2 years.
The cleaning intervals are generally
determined depending on local condi-
tions and/or the degree of pollution.
The cleaning interval mentioned applies
to average to increased degrees of
pollution of the areas. 500kg/(ha x a)
of dry matter have been considered.
In the case of a new system, we recom-
mend checking the degree of pollution
and, if necessary, cleaning the system
on a monthly basis. A suitable cleaning
interval can be deduced from these
experiences, if applicable. To ensure
reliable operation, cleaning activities
should be carried out at least every two
years, preferably in autumn after the
leaves fall.
All cleaning activities can be carried
out by a sewer cleaning specialist.
Alternatively, cleaning can be performed
using a high-pressure cleaner and a
wastewater pump. The maximum out-
side diameter of the pump must not
exceed 170mm. For disposal of
a) Remove the shaft cover and the dirt
trap. Empty the dirt trap. Observe the
relevant accident prevention regulations,
in particular those with regard to securing
the working area for the entire traffic.
The shafts are not accessible.
b) Remove the operating pipe.
To do so, open the bayonet nut connector
by turning it counter-clockwise.
Leave the sediment collector in the
shaft. Snap the tip of the bail of the
sediment collector in the shaft wall to
avoid uplift of the collector in the shaft.
sediment and/or flushing water,
relevant legal provisions must be
observed, if applicable.
Irrespective of the cleaning interval,
we recommend inspecting the system
visually through the open cover at least
every 3 months.

5. Cleaning
Empty the cleaning shaft by removing
water and sediment.
To do so, direct the wastewater pump or
suction hose through the maintenance
channel of the sediment collector all the
way down to the bottom of the mud
chamber below the sediment collector.
See page 15 Flush the sediment collector using a
high-pressure cleaner and at the same
time drain the flushing water.
To do so, clean the depots and flow
separators through the cleaning shaft
of the sediment collector.

Please note
When re-inserting the sediment collector,
the lock pins of the shaft bottom must snap
into the recesses of the collector base.
5.3 Special case – removing the sediment collector
5.4 Optional connection set
5.5 Special case – light liquid spills
It is normally not necessary to remove
the sediment collector when cleaning
SediPoint. If, in exceptional cases, above
ground inspection or cleaning is
required, the sediment collector can be
removed using a winch or tripod.
When using the optional connection set,
you can determine the degree of pollution
of the inlet through the open cover. The
drop structure empties when the flushing
water is drained from the shaft, which
allows for pollution to be removed by
high-pressure cleaning and simultaneous
removal.
After light liquid spills, have the system
and, if required, the connection set
emptied and cleaned by a professional
provider. Washed matter must be
disposed of appropriately.
Make sure that the bail snaps into the
shaft wall before the system is re-filled
to avoid uplift.
