This is the shortened, English-language version of the German volume published in 1989 and omits those contributions and passages that refer only to German laws, or which have little relevance outside Germany. It includes additional texts, especially on the relevant European norms and the canon of the Abwassertechnische Vereinigung [German Waste Water Technology Association] as well as the latest research and development reports.The result is a comprehensive overview of the technology currently available for wastewater management and systems plus the relevant norms, with special emphasis on maintenance, cleaning, inspection and reconstruction.A number of European systems are used to describe in detail pipe materials and connections, pipework-specific framework conditions and their changes since the development of modern drains and sewers in the 19th century. The book also lists causes and effects of various types of damage, and their assessment in terms of hydraulics, environmental relevance and construction, since this is a basic prerequisite for the choice of suitable rehabilitation measures and their implementation.Readers are thus not only provided with a comprehensive presentation of all internationally practised rehabilitation processes and their fields of application, but are also given advice on their selection, on the formulation of tenders, cost and cost efficiency.

Designed as a fundamental source of information on the installation and renewal of non-man-size supply and sewage lines by the trenchless construction method, this book describes non-steerable and steerable microtunnelling systems, their ranges of application and relevant operational experience. The text is supplemented by numerous photographs, outline drawings, tables and charts. In-depth knowledge is given on the subjects of design and operation of different types of soil removal systems, measuring and steering techniques, construction of starting and target pits, as well as obstruction removal.Moreover, the presentations cover the special jacking pipes required for microtunnelling, and provide detailed information regarding the relevant stress and strain analyses. It is shown how the trenchless construction method can be used for marking service house connections, and that there are new ways to link up house service lines with shafts or sewers.A comprehensive bibliography rounds off the text
Das vorliegende Buch gibt erstmalig einen umfassenden Überblick über den Stand auf diesem Gebiet und insbesondere über die Verfahren der Schadensbehebung und Wiederherstellung der vollen Gebaruchsfähigkeit überalterter, schadhafter oder teilweise zerstörter unterirdischer Rohrleitungen. Darüber hinaus geben die Autoren eine ausführliche Darstellung der Rohrwerkstoffe und Rohrverbindungen sowie weiterer leitungsspezifischer Randbedingungen und deren Veränderungen seit Beginn der modernen Kanalisationstechnik in Deutschland im 19. Jahrhundert sowie die Schadensarten, -ursachen und -folgen als wesentliche Grundlagen für die Auswahl geeigneter Instandhaltungsmaßnahmen und deren Durchführung. Zusätzlich werden in gesonderten Abschnitten die speziellen Probleme und Anforderungen bezüglich Verlagerung und Instandhaltung von Kanälen in Wasserschutzgebieten unter Berücksichtigung des entsprechenden Regelwerkes sowie dem bisher in der Literatur kaum berücksichtigten Problembereich der Boden- und Grundwasserkontamination infolge undichter Kanäle einschließlich Lösungsansätzen zur Dekontamination behandelt.
