Technical characteristics and application of reinforced concrete trays for heating mains or drainage

Currently, trays made of reinforced concrete for heating mains have replaced the previously used brickwork. Trays are cheaper than bricks and the time required to build a channel for a heating main is several times less than to lay a brick box.

Reinforced concrete trays perform certain functions:

  • channel for laying various pipelines;
  • protection of pipes from rodents and any other types of damage;
  • heat saving and no interaction of pipes with air;
  • protection from ground and flood waters (it is possible to use trays even in seismically unstable areas);
  • protection from harmful chemicals in places where they are present and accumulated.

As a rule, they are covered with lids. This gives advantages to track owners in case of unforeseen situations. The simplicity of the design allows you to quickly open exactly the area where the rupture occurred.

There are several types of channels based on the installation method:

  • channels with floors resting on them (CL);
  • channels formed from covers with trays resting on them (CLp);
  • channels from trays that rest on each other and connected using channels (CLs). Such channels are made with the condition that a person whose height is no more than 180 cm can move calmly inside. Only a few companies are engaged in the production of trays for such structures in the Russian Federation.

Before laying in the ditch, a sand cushion is made, which is necessary for direct and strong contact of the tray with the surface of the earth.

The seams between the trays and lids, as well as the holes intended for transporting and laying the product, are protected with rubber seals and filled with concrete. This is necessary to create a monolithic system.

Dimensions according to GOST and prices of slabs for covering trays ↑

Like any other box, the design of the trays necessarily requires laying on top of the floor gutter. This must be done so that when filling with earth, it does not fall directly on the pipes.

Otherwise, the whole point of placing the pipeline system in trays is lost. Floors for trays are rectangular slabs of concrete or reinforced concrete, which must correspond to the dimensions of the concrete trays themselves.

Important! In addition to the overall dimensions, floor slabs must be made of concrete of the same grade as the trays.

This will preserve the integrity of the material structure of the entire box, consisting of a tray and a ceiling, which will be able to last for decades.

The building materials market offers the following slab sizes:

  • slab length – found 740-2990 mm or more;
  • slab width – found 400-2460 mm;
  • height (or thickness) – found 50-160 mm;
  • the weight of one unit of the slab is 100-2940 kg.

However, before any design of construction work, preliminary calculations must be made. But such calculations always require information about the sizes of slabs for trays and their prices.

To understand approximately what prices exist for certain slabs for tray floors, you can familiarize yourself with selective information about their parameters and costs:

Thus, the larger the size and thicker the slab, the more expensive it will be. After all, much more raw materials are spent on its production, which means that the price, accordingly, will be higher than for a plate that is thinner and smaller in size.

Thanks to preliminary information about the cost of floor slabs, it will be much easier to plan construction and make calculations for laying heating mains in trays.

All possible characteristics of reinforced concrete trays, as well as the overall dimensions of the products, comply with various GOSTs. Let us consider the most necessary conditions for the production of reinforced concrete products.

GOST 13015.0-83 regulates the following conditions:

  • frost resistance of products;
  • waterproof trays;
  • possible shapes and designs of trays;
  • increased strength of the concrete used;
  • quality of materials for the production of concrete itself;
  • enhanced strength of the material in the presence of groundwater;
  • dimensions and shape of the reinforcement embeds used;
  • materials (steel grades) for the production of reinforcement products;
  • possible deviations of the concrete layer protecting the reinforcement;
  • protection of trays from corrosion.

The following requirements are defined for concrete used for the production of trays:

  • all types of trays must be made of concrete no worse than M300;
  • when compressed, concrete must have a strength of at least 70%;
  • for the production of concrete, fillers with a particle size of no more than 15 mm can be used;
  • the use of cement is possible at least 400;
  • The addition of active additives is not acceptable.

Reinforcing products used in the production of reinforced concrete trays are strictly regulated by GOST 10922-90. The document indicates the type of steel from which they can be made (A-1, A-3) and the diameter of the wire (6 mm for longitudinal reinforcement and 5 mm for transverse reinforcement).

The concrete surface of the trays should be fairly smooth, without large depressions. In some places, pits and cracks with a depth and width of no more than 3 mm are acceptable.

And in places where structures are fastened, damage to the surface layer is not allowed to exceed 1 mm. These aspects, as well as others, are regulated by regulatory documents.

If you comply with all the requirements necessary for the production of reinforced concrete trays, the products will be of the highest quality with a long service life.

Replacement of reinforced concrete channels is provided for by the operating rules and can be done no more than once every hundred years.

After this time, reinforced concrete structures begin to collapse, their tightness deteriorates and, as a result, pipelines and other systems installed in the channels are damaged.

Installation

Based on SNiP 3.05.03.85, installation of non-passable channels occurs in accordance with SNiP 3-16-80, SNiP 3-15-76. The outer surfaces of channel elements supplied to the route must be covered with waterproofing in accordance with the working drawings. The installation of channel elements in the design position should be carried out in the technological sequence specified in the relevant regulatory documentation. During installation, constant geodetic support must be provided. The results of geodetic control after the final fastening of the structures of individual sections and tiers must be documented in an as-built diagram. When lifting and slinging, the following rules must be observed:

  • when slinging with steel ropes, inventory pads should be installed under them to avoid damage to the concrete and rope;
  • When lifting, lifting devices should be used to ensure uniform transfer of loads to the structures being lifted and slings;
  • slinging should be done using inventory slings or special gripping devices with semi-automatic devices for remote slinging.

Lifting of structures should be done smoothly, without jerking, swinging or rotating the elements being lifted, usually using guy ropes. For guy ropes, hemp (according to GOST 483-75) or nylon (according to GOST 10293-77) ropes with a diameter of 19-24 mm should be used. Moving structures by pulling is prohibited. Installation of structures in the design position must be carried out according to accepted guidelines (marks, pins, stops, edges, etc.). Structures that have special mortgages or other fixing devices are installed using these devices. Unslinging of structures installed in place is permitted only after they are securely secured with permanent or temporary connections. Temporary fastening of installed structures should ensure their stability and unchangeable position until permanent fastening is performed. Before permanent fastening is carried out, structures must be checked for compliance with their design location and the readiness of mounting connections. An entry is made about the results of the check in the installation log. Before installing the upper trays (plates), the channels must be cleared of soil, debris and snow. Deviation of the slopes of the bottom of the heating network channel and drainage pipelines from the design value is allowed by  0.0005, while the actual slope must be no less than the minimum allowable according to SNiP II-G.10-73* (II-36-73).
