Structural Calculations

 

Finite-element model of the sewer and surrounding soil with calculated displacements

Discretised finite-element model of the sewer (orange) in the surrounding soil (yellow), with loading applied by the MAC device (arrows; left), and the resulting qualitative displacements in the sewer wall and soil transverse to the sewer axis (right).

Independent structural calculations

  • All geometries and materials
  • Finite-element calculations for non-standard profiles
  • Materials testing
  • Independent third-party inspection on site
  • Assessment of delivered liner and pipe quality, with recommendations for clients

Structural calculations for pipe and manhole liners

  • CIPP liners for sewers: circular and non-circular profiles
  • CIPP liners for manholes
  • Calculations in accordance with DWA-A 143-2 or using the finite-element method

Assessing structural stability with the MAC system

  • Non-destructive
  • Suitable for man-entry sewers
  • Analysis of the pipe-soil system
