No blockages - easy rodding/cleaning Using BLÜCHER® drains with removable water traps enables the use of each drain as a rodding point, thus avoiding unhygienic cleaning wells with access covers in hygienic areas inside the building. If the piping layout is made with soft bends and 45° branches, the pipework system can be cleaned either by jet cleaning or mechanical cleaning by just removing the built-in water trap. Due to the hard stainless steel pipework material without coatings the piping offers the best resistance against mechanical cleaning. Piping layout with soft bends to allow easy...

INSTALLATION Filling around the pipe Filling around the pipe can only start when the position of the pipe has been checked and approved. Compression Avoid tipping the filling directly onto the pipe. If a machine is used for compression, the equipment’s own weight and impact force must be adapted to conditions. The filling should be compressed to at least 93%. Filling the excavation Soil from the excavation can be used for filling, but larger stones and blocks are not to be used. Compression of the filling material outside reinforced areas is not necessary if the settling will not cause problems...
