Product catalog summary
Specifications:
Althon Sewers for Adoption precast headwalls are designed for use when a concrete headwall is part of a Section 104 Agreement. They are compliant with 'Sewers for Adoption' guidelines and offer a cost-effective alternative to in-situ structures. The headwalls cater to pipe sizes up to 1500mm and come in five sizes with various back wall heights and toe depths.
Features:
Optional features include pre-fitted penstocks, flap valves, gratings, and Kee Klamp handrails. The headwalls can be customized with fixings for gratings, trash screens, ladders, and monitoring equipment.
Installation Guidelines:
Installation involves preparing the site, positioning the headwall, and securing it with threaded rods and grout. The pipe should be aligned correctly, and any optional features like flap valves should be installed with care to avoid distortion.
Safety and Handling:
Safety measures include wearing protective gear such as toe cap safety footwear, eye protection, dust masks, and gloves. Mechanical systems are recommended for handling larger accessories.
Maintenance:
Routine cleaning of concrete surfaces with a power washer and mild detergent is recommended. Damaged components should be replaced rather than repaired. Galvanized grates and handrails require regular visual inspections and debris clearing to ensure proper function.
Disposal:
Pre-cast concrete components should ideally be recycled by crushing and grading. If not feasible, disposal in conventional landfill is acceptable as the components are environmentally inert.
