Saint-Gobain Pipelines offers the UK market the opportunity to access a wide portfolio of products, particularly within the water, drainage and telecommunication market sectors. Saint-Gobain Pipelines plc is part of the Saint-Gobain Group, one of the worlds largest industrial groups, and is able to draw upon global expertise in research, development and production ensuring that world best practice is adopted at all times.
Range of products
The growth in traffic density is placing greater strain on the road network emphasising the importance of high quality, problem-free products. The PAM range of products has been developed to meet the requirements of both the road maintenance and new build sectors, focusing on the long-term durability of products. Key products meeting these requirements such as the Inter-Ax range, utilise the knowledge and experience gained through academic research, for example the Nottingham University Road Ironwork Installation project, which led to the development of the Load Transfer System (LTS), as well as a history of success within the UK market. The wide range of products allows the specifier complete choice in both access covers and gully grates and provides confidence to both the specifier, installer and end-user. The maintenance and building of new road networks requires services and products to match specific requirements which are available from Saint-Gobain Pipelines. The flexible range of Saint-Gobain Pipelines PAM products is combined with a commitment to service, technical performance, innovation as well as quality and durability. The PAM range of products all benefit from the mechanical properties of ductile iron and the design and manufacturing knowledge of the UK market leader in access covers and gratings. The rapid development of the telecommunication infrastructure, linked to the growth in new technology, has required a significant investment in the infrastructure required to support these new and emerging technologies, and the growing demand of the new services. The PAM range of products has been developed to meet the requirements of the telecommunications sector and focuses on the need to provide safe access, security and road performance.
Quality assurance
A sign of quality
The manufacturer and certifier Saint-Gobain Pipelines consistently manufacture products of the highest quality in adherence with the BS EN 1SO 9000 series of quality systems, approved by the BSI, under the registered firm approval scheme. This involves periodically subjecting the company, its processes, and its suppliers to the most rigorous and objective assessments, providing reassurance that the consistently high standards of quality are maintained. Further assurance of product quality is gained from the fact that the majority of the PAM product range is also certified with the prestigious British Standard Kitemark.* This internationally respected symbol of product quality accredits the following standards relevant to access covers and gratings manufactured in the UK: BS EN 124 (1994) European standard for gully tops and access tops for vehicular and pedestrian users. At the time of going to press BS EN 124 was in the process of being revised. BS 5834: Part 2 (1983) Specification for small surface boxes. BS 5834: Part 3 (1985) Specification for large surface boxes. BS 750 (1984) Specification for underground fire hydrants and surface boxes and covers. CE Mark CE stands for Conformit European and is intended to facilitate the free movement of products within the EU by signifying that essential health and safety requirements have been met. The proposed revision of EN 124 includes a requirement for CE marking of access covers and grates. ISO 14001 ISO 14001 is the internationally recognised standard for Environmental Management Systems (EMS). An EN 14001 EMS provides a framework for Environmental Management responsibilities and achieving continuously improved environmental performance. BSi Kitemark The BSi Kitemark is the worlds best known Product Certification mark and commands respect from consumers and businesses alike. Products bearing the Kitemark have passed a rigorous certification process and as such will not only be safer to use but will also be fit for the purpose for which they were designed. NF Mark The French equivalent of the Kitemark. The NF Mark attests to the compliance of products and services with the relevant standards, and is enhanced with additional specifications, to match the markets expectations as closely as possible. 3rd party approval Registration to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 takes place when an accredited 3rd party such as BSI Management Systems visits an organisation, assesses the management system and issues a certificate to show that the organisation abides by the principles and requirements of the relevant standard. ISO 9001 ISO 9001 is the most commonly used international standard that provides a framework for an effective Quality Management System (QMS). An ISO 9001 QMS ensures consistency and improvement of working practices. This in turn provides customers with assurance that products and services meet their requirements Today, quality is of paramount importance in the construction of the road network, not just to manufacturers, but to suppliers, installers and road users. With the everincreasing traffic volumes on our roads today, the strain placed on access covers and gully gratings is at its highest levels.
*Please note that some products are NF certified (French Standards Authority).
In this climate, specifiers have become increasingly conscious of their obligation to ensure road user safety by demanding products that are manufactured and tested to the highest standards. Customers can be sure that the PAM product range, bearing the BSI Kitemark, is of the highest quality and has been independently certified as complying with BS EN 124. The certifiers accreditor When specifying products that are by their nature, installed in very onerous locations, much care and attention must be placed on selecting a manufacturer that is certified by an institution such as the BSI. A specification can request that products are kitemarked or similar approved. The difficulty for specifiers is defining what is similar. References to EN 45012, EN 45011 and EN 45001 will help ensure that the competence level of the certifying organisation has itself been assessed. In the UK, specifiers can request that the certification organisation has been accredited by UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service). With this in mind we recommend that specifiers request the following: 1) The manufacturers ISO 9001 certificate BS EN 124 certificate and product schedule. 2) The certification bodies EN 45001 certificate This is the schedule for site and laboratory testing, and providing the certifier has BS EN 124 within its scope they should be competent to undertake testing. EN 45011 certificate Certifies the issue of product conformity certificates within the scope of BS EN 124 EN 45012 scope The scope, which demonstrates that they can assess a manufacturer to ISO 9000.
Grey iron
Ductile iron
The difference between ductile and grey iron The addition of magnesium at the molten stage transforms the flakes of graphite, which are common with the grey iron casting process, into spheroidal or nodular form. The spheroidal structure provides a higher tensile strength as well as a higher strength to weight ratio when compared with the properties inherent with grey iron manufacture.
The benefits of ductile iron Ductile irons high strength to weight ratio allows for the production of lightweight castings that offer what can amount to a 50% weight saving over traditional grey iron equivalents. The high strength inherent with ductile iron not only minimises the risk of failure when installed but reduces the likelihood of breakages in transit and while off-loading. In a market place that is increasingly being encouraged to specify products that offer less of a manual handling risk, the dead weight of the castings during both installation and actual operation in service is recognised as a key feature and obvious attribute.

Product legislation
When specifying and installing access covers and gully gratings in the UK, you must be aware of the relevant regulations which are as follows: HAUC Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in Highways Recommends that ironware should be installed on a sound foundation and level with its surrounding surfaces. Sewers for Adoption (SFA) Recommends that access covers and frames shall comply with the provisions of BS EN 124. Also advises on classification for use in both trafficked and nontrafficked areas. Minimum frame depths are recommended for various traffic applications. Highways Works Recommends that materials are manufactured at a factory that has a quality management system in place. Recommends that manhole covers and frames as well as gully grates and frames are manufactured in accordance with BS EN 124 and that they are certified by an approved accreditation body. (Such bodies are listed in the document.) Recommends that contractors have a quality management system in place to which they adhere.

3. Hard shoulders Changes in traffic flow necessary to accommodate maintenance work or emergencies, can result in units being required to accept loadings and conditions for which they may not have been intended. 4. Traffic lights Acceleration, deceleration and turning all increase the stress on road ironwork. 5. Bus routes The pulling into the kerb or lay-by and braking of buses result in gratings being required to accept loadings not experienced through normal traffic. 6. Traffic calming The installation of traffic islands and narrowing of roads to slow traffic will increase the vulnerability of gully grates to clipping. 7. Narrow lanes Width restrictions can lead to road castings being heavily trafficked, particularly on bend clipping points. Gully grates are particularly vulnerable. Note: In each of the circumstances outlined above, a product of a high specification should be considered.

TRADITIONAL DESIGN
10
Ergonomically positive range Historically, traditional access covers were designed and manufactured with just one objective in mind road performance and longevity. This unfortunately has had an adverse effect on the kilogram unit weight and the design methodology facilitating the covers removal from the frame, which ultimately, allows for safe access to the chamber. However, in todays legislative environment, where the employer has to ensure the safety and welfare of the employee at work, PAM has taken access cover safety design to a higher level.
Manual handling More than a quarter of the accidents reported each year to the enforcing authorities, are associated with manual handling. The vast majority of these result from an over three days injury. The most common types of injury are sprains and strains often to the back. Back injury The most common causes of back injury are: 1. The operatives poor posture when lifting
2. The excessive repetition of the lift Many of the manual handling injuries are cumulative rather than being truly attributable to any single handling incident. Access cover removal Effective upkeep of todays sewerage and telecommunications networks demands a regular checking and maintenance programme. This obviously has an effect on the number of access covers the operative has to remove in any working day.
Fig ii)
It is the regularity associated with traditional access cover removal that can expose the operative to the possibility of a repetitive strain injury (RSI), which can result in physical impairment or even permanent disability over a period of time. PAM has taken these factors into account and a lengthy research programme has resulted in the development of an ergonomically positive range of access covers that fits the product to the person.

Opt-Emax range
OPENING
The Opt-Emax range has been specifically developed to offer quicker, easier and safer access to underground services. Opt-Emax hinged covers offer many benefits over traditional lift-out covers, without compromising performance thanks to the LTS feature within the design of the frame. The Opt-Emax range is ergonomically positive and offers all the benefits associated with the E+ feature.
LTS features
I STEP 1 halves of cover lift separately in sequence as marked.
Large corner webs The flange has been optimised so that there is an increased area where the load is concentrated, giving a reduction of measurable strain between 30% to 50% in the bedding. Bonding ribs Rib design significantly improves bonding to the bedding material creating a greater resistance to lateral shift. This helps avoid early separation and cracking of the bedding material which can cause premature failure. Rib positioning Positioning of the ribs plays a critical role in reducing the risk of cracking the bedding material. The position opposite the cover seating areas reduces the risk of frame deflection and ensures that impact to the surrounding materials is limited.
Flange stiffness The thickness of the flange at the corners prevents bending caused by dynamic loading. Prevention of bending in this area reduces disturbance of the bedding material.
I STEP 3 cover is securely held at 90 to prevent accidental closing. Cover cannot be closed unless correct procedure is followed (see page 17).
Each cover unit also cast with finger grips for easy removal.
For products that have the E+ feature, the trademark is detailed in the AT A GLANCE section of the product pages.

It is the regularity associated with traditional access cover removal that can expose the operative to the possibility of a repetitive strain injury (RSI), which can result in physical impairment or even permanent disability over a period of time. Reduced risk of injury The hinged mechanism greatly reduces the risk of back injury thanks to the reduced effort required to open the covers.
I STEP 1 move cover to 90. I STEP 2 tilt cover to side (using hinge under apex of cover as a pivot point.)
Closing To close, simply move the cover to the 90 position, tilt using the hinge under the apex as the pivot point and lower. Simple removal To allow safe access to the chamber, each cover can be easily lifted out when moved to the 90 position. (See column to left: REMOVAL.)

Infiltration
To dramatically reduce the amount of surface water entering the sewer system, engineers at Saint-Gobain Pipelines have developed an innovative plug for the hinge housing. The dual wiper plug reduces the amount of water entering the network while at the same time enabling debris to be easily removed from the hinge housing. I The factory fitted plug is standard on all Pamrex designs and is identified with a red sticker featuring a black umbrella logo I A secondary seal is also available to reduce water infiltration still further.
Safety
Protecting field personnel from the risk of injury and the below-ground networks from catastrophic failure are two of the primary concerns facing todays engineers and municipal administrators. I Hinge incorporates a 90 blocking feature to prevent accidental closure. Personnel must ensure that the hinge housing is kept free of debris and that the 90 blocking has properly activated before entering into the chamber I Self-centering design of the gasket eliminates the need to guide the cover into position when closing I The design of the cover lifting points ensures easy insertion and removal of tools I Lifting loops in the frame assists safe offloading and installation with appropriate and safe equipment I The cover is designed to open and release the pressure if the sewer becomes surcharged (provided that no additional lock has been fitted and that the frame has been securely anchored to the top of the chamber) I The cover opens to 130 to allow uninterrupted access. It can also be completely removed if deemed necessary.
Design
Improved ergonomics I Hinges reduce the physical effort by 50% I Hinges allow the operator to move in a straight line thereby avoiding damaging spinal rotation I Hinges minimise the duration of the lift, the hinge also retains the cover in a safe and controlled way during and after the lift
For products that have the E+ feature, the trademark is detailed in the AT A GLANCE section of the product pages. FEATURE

Ult-Emax features
Reduced risk of injury Weighing only 20 kilograms, the small master cover requires minimum effort to open, allowing for quick and easy inspection of the chamber below. The covers hinging mechanism vastly reduces the risk of operative injury, while maintaining optimum stability and durability. The master cover can be easily removed through a vertical lift once it has been hinged open. At 25 kilograms the larger slave cover also falls within health and safety guidelines for one-man lifting and is easily removable in a standard vertical lift. Increased security On traditional access covers, the keyholes are the obvious way for intruders to gain unauthorised access to the chamber below. The danger of discarded syringes and other hazardous materials dropped into the chamber as a consequence introduces a greater risk to operatives health and safety as well as the likelihood of damage to sensitive equipment. To combat these unwelcome and costly possibilities, our engineers have incorporated an automatic locking system. Drawing on our in-depth knowledge of ductile iron and its unique properties, the Ult-Emax range also has as standard a spring locking system that firmly locks the covers in place once they are closed. This unique technology employs ductile irons elasticity in areas where the components interact and allows for the locking of the cover within the frame without the use of a mechanical locking device. As an added deterrent, designers have hidden the master keyhole in the nose of the cover which only becomes exposed when the automatic spring lock has been released. As a result, any unauthorised intruder will find it impossible to gain entry using just the two keyholes visible in the slave cover as the unit cannot be opened until the locking finger has been disengaged and the master cover removed. Longer lifespan In recognition of the importance of whole life costs in todays financially prudent environment, the Ult-Emax range has been exactingly designed with durability in mind. The frame incorporates the benefits of the Load Transfer System (LTS) as with the popular Opt-Emax and Inter-Ax ranges. Furthermore, the covers and frame are notched to reduce and restrict cover movement which would otherwise lead to wear and ultimately to cover failure.

Objectives
The objectives were to fully understand the mechanism of failure of ironwork installations and to determine what actions could be taken to remedy them. The research consisted of three main elements: I Real life installations I Laboratory trials using a purpose-built test-rig I Finite element analysis.
Conclusions
The research concluded that the road ironwork installations failed prematurely because of the following: I Traditional cementitious bedding mortar being unsuitable for ironwork installations I Movement of access cover frame under dynamic loading I Wrong products being specified and selected.

The Inter-Ax range of traditional lift covers has been developed with the research conclusions in mind and incorporates the new LTS feature. The Inter-Ax range has been specifically engineered to cope with all the varying traffic loadings encountered on todays busy highways.
FEATURE
The D400 products are marked with one of the following traffic intensity markers to simplify specification and selection of the most appropriate casting: H for High traffic intensity locations N for Normal traffic intensity locations L for Low traffic intensity locations All the Inter-Ax range has been developed for use with the LTS bedding mortar. Inter-Ax also features a fibre-optic point of drilling hole in the cover, avoiding the underside cover webs to provide access into the sewer for fibre-optic cameras. The LTS design eliminates the traditional grouting hole which was found to increase the strain in the mortar if positioned incorrectly. Holes are provided in non-critical areas to aid lifting or provide bolt holes to secure the frame to the manhole chamber. Specification and selection of the Inter-Ax range is made simple by using the Traffic Intensity Specification and Selection software.

Improved efficiency Aqua-Max has been designed with water absorption at the forefront of the engineers mind. The most efficient part of a grating is the area in immediate proximity to the kerb, where the vast majority of surface water is located during rainfall. Designers have ensured that the Aqua-Max has a significant water clearing area adjacent to the kerb ensuring it is the most effective grating in its class. Improved durability/lifespan Load Transfer System In recognition of the importance of whole life costs in todays financially prudent environment, the Aqua-Max range has been exactingly designed with durability in mind. The frame incorporates the benefits of the Load Transfer System (LTS) as with the popular Opt-Emax and Inter-Ax ranges. In addition wedge seatings reduce and restrict grate movement which would otherwise lead to wear and ultimately to failure. Research carried out by Nottingham University helped increase our understanding of the transfer of dynamic loads from traffic onto the access covers and gratings and subsequently from the frame to the chamber structure. In conventional designs, the load is concentrated at the corners of the casting creating excess strain on specific areas of the bedding material. The new LTS features were designed specifically to reduce this strain in the mortar and thereby minimise the risk of cracking which can cause premature failure. The system comprises the following four features:
For products that have the E+ feature, the trademark is detailed in the AT A GLANCE section of the product pages.
For products that have the LTS feature, the trademark is detailed in the AT A GLANCE section of the product pages.
FEATURE
I Bonding ribs I Rib positioning I Flange stiffness. Improved opening ergonomics Compared to traditional lift-out gratings, the hinged Aqua-Max design gives quick and easy access for drain rodding and cleaning, with minimum required effort.

Screening of debris The presence of a raised bar prevents access into the gully for debris of too large a size and keeps certain solid objects carried by run-off water out of the sewer system. Anti-obstruction The surfaces of the bars are equipped with facets that are oriented in such a way as to prevent leaves or litter from blocking the drain. Drainage In the lower section of the gutter, the bars are arranged longitudinally in order to maximise water drainage.
I Studding on grating prevents leaves sticking to the grate and maximises flow capacity.
Simulations carried out on a test bench show increases of between 10% and 15% in absorption, in certain circumstances, compared with a traditional design consisting of a rectangular grating and a gully. Safety for cyclists On the carriageway, the bars are perpendicular to the direction of the traffic in order to ensure safety for cyclists. Safety for pedestrians On the pavement side, the elimination of clearance on the hinge system and of any roughness on the surface of the cover ensure safety for pedestrians (high heels, walking sticks, crutches, etc.) Height adjustability Three bolts allow the height adjustment (up to 50mm) of the cover frame with respect to the kerb. Height adjustability is only available on the Maxi. Operation Full opening with two flaps provides a wide unobstructed clear opening area (550 x 450mm) which facilitates access to the sewer system. In particular, the Selecta inlet is well suited to the insertion of cleaning and inspection equipment. Opening Both Selecta Maxi and Selecta 500 kerb gratings and covers features vandal resistant ductile iron spring-bars to prevent unauthorised entry. Grating and covers can be opened separately using a crow bar or pick axe as illustrated or both together to obtain full uninterrupted access.
I In the kerbline.

Closing Following routine maintenance both the cover and grating can be closed. Applying a little pressure to the top of the cover or grating will ensure that the spring-bar activates and again provides an effective barrier against unauthorised access.

b. Clear and repair brickwork Clear brickwork of all debris and old bedding material. Check the access chamber for loose brickwork and crumbling mortar. Replace any loose bricks and repoint as necessary. Check that the access frame will seat evenly. When installing access covers with a 100mm deep frame, rebuild the brickwork chamber to a minimum level of 115mm below the carriageway surface using at least Class B engineering bricks (165mm below surface using 150mm deep frame). Any bricks used should have a compressive strength of not less than 20N/mm2.
Installation stage 4
a. Mix material Material is pre-blended in controlled quantities. Pour the liquid polyester resin into a suitable container followed by the powder hardener component. Using a mechanical mixer ensure that the material is thoroughly mixed (wetted). b. Bedding layer Place layer of bedding mortar on brickwork approximately 25mm to 40mm in depth. Ensure that enough coverage is available to make contact with the entire flange of the casting. c. Seat casting Position casting frame over the access chamber and tamp down to ensure that the mortar keys to the casting. For optimum performance units are designed to be supported under the entire flange area, up to the edge of the clear opening. Failure to provide bedding over this area will detrimentally affect the performance and longevity of the unit. d. Level casting Ensure that the casting is level with the road surface by placing a straight edge across the corners of the casting onto the road. The frame can be made level by tamping the frame into the bedding material. e. Check gaps under flange Ensure that there are no visible gaps under the flange and smooth bedding material with trowel both inside and outside of chamber.
f. Envelope flange Use the remaining mortar to envelope the flange, paying particular attention to the corner areas. Smooth out the mortar with a trowel to ensure good bonding with the casting and to avoid any initial cracks in the bedding material. g. Backfill Check that the bedding material has hardened, then backfill with asphalt. Ensure that the asphalt is properly compacted. Installation in new roads When installing covers in new roads, where the road surface has not yet been applied, embedment is made easier. Simply follow Stage 2: Material selection and Stage 4: Installation.

Important notice In all areas where there is extensive manouvering of HGVs or other heavy vehicles, (for example in docks, loading yards, HGV parking areas), consideration should be given to bolting down every three or four gratings. If other types of T section or angle section frames are used it must be ensured that their dimensions, security and embedment are suitable for the loading and stresses to which they will be subjected.

Strength properties
The Nottingham University research identified and quantified the required strength to withstand the dynamic loading of a vehicle wheel. LTS bedding mortar exceeds this performance level in both compression and tensile load.
Durability
Resistance is excellent to environmental conditions found in the highway. The mortar is resistant to the action of frost. It will not react chemically with de-icing salts. It has a low permeability which prevents damage to ironwork by chloride ingress.

Ductile iron product coating Saint-Gobain Pipelines access covers and gratings are supplied coated with waterbased black bitumen as standard. Castings may be supplied uncoated on request (fine cast). Bitumen acts to protect casting surfaces whilst in transit and on the stockground. In situations where castings are subjected to regular vehicular traffic, the coating on the top surface of the casting will become worn. This has no adverse effect on the castings performance.

Glossary
Loosely coupled The two half covers/gratings of double triangular units are connected together loosely by pins and clips. This helps prevent the covers/gratings being dropped in the shaft during lifting and, being a loose connection, still allows the two half covers/gratings to operate independently and retain their non-rock facility. MSG seal plate (bolt-down) Mild steel galvanised plate for fixing inside manhole frame and capable of withstanding 0.5 bar back-pressure. Non-rock Cover/grating and frame design which gives quiet stable seating by means of threepoint non-rock seating, ie. double triangular. Gasket seatings (Pamrex, Ax-S 400) are further examples of non-rock designs. A requirement of BS EN 124 Class D400. Pressure-tight Cover and frame which can withstand internal pressure as in surcharged drain systems. Obtained by use of bolt-down MSG sealplate as in Inter-Ax, or units with sealing rings and bolt-down cover as with Pamtight. Pressure-tight units cannot be sealed retrospectively. Prising slot Slot in cover edge or occasionally on inside of frame that allows the use of a crow bar to loosen covers before removal. Recessed cover Top of cover recessed to allow infilling with a chosen material, concrete, quarry tiles etc., usually to match the surrounding area. Note most iron covers have a shallow recess and may not be suitable for use with pavior blocks. Right hand opening Hinged grating that opens from the right when viewed from the pavement. In the UK would be used on offside of one-way streets, traffic islands etc. as would be closed by oncoming traffic. Safety grid A fabricated galvanised mild steel grid, which normally drop-fits onto the frame below the cover to prevent covers and other objects being dropped into the shaft. Seal plate (bolt-down) Galvanised mild steel plate, fitted with a gasket, which is bolted to the frame to prevent egress of odours and which may limit the ingress of water. Capable of withstanding a back pressure of 0.5 bar. Cannot be fitted retrospectively. Seal plate (push-fit) Glass reinforced plastic (GRP) plate, fitted with a gasket, which is a push-fit into the frame and prevents egress of odours and which may limit the ingress of water and, especially in countries with high ambient temperature, acts as a barrier against the corrosive properties of the sewer gases. Not capable of sealing under back pressure. May be fitted retrospectively on certain products. Sealed Covers and frames which are sealed in some way to at least prevent the egress of odours from the sewer. There are different methods of sealing and these give varying standards of performance. See DOUBLE SEAL, SINGLE SEAL, SEAL PLATES AND PRESSURE TIGHT. Seating Bearing/contact area between cover and frame. Also type or contact: Three-point seating, Non-rock seating; Machined seating; Gasket (rubber) seating.

Single-piece Cover/grating comprises one piece. Single seal Traditionally single vertical tongue-in-groove relationship between cover, with single rim, and frame with single groove. Allows single grease seal against egress of odour. Limits ingress of rainwater. Also see SEAL PLATE. Slide out Cover removed by lifting one end then sliding out rather than direct vertical lift. Reduces the effort needed for removal. Ventilated cover Openings within cover allow free circulation of air within the shaft and prevent pressure build-up. Minimum vented area is specified in BS EN 124. Waterway area Free area of grating which allows the passage of water (ie. total area of slots).
