A safety grating has an arch shape cross section and is useful within a riser having a frusto-conical shape wall which riser is attached to a septic tank or another structure. The grating comprises a hub and radially extending arms, one or more of which is rotatable relative to the hub length at a hinge joint, to decrease the size of the grating and enable installation of the grating by passing the grating a smaller end opening of a riser.

An apparatus and an associated method of installing a manhole assembly upon a pipe is disclosed herein. One example of the method comprises the steps of: exposing a joining section of the pipe; cutting a pipe access hole in the joining section. One prepared, a saddle may be positioned adjacent the perimeter surface of the hole such that the seal is positioned between the saddle and the joining section. The saddle in one example having a surface defining a saddle access hole there through, the saddle access hole substantially aligned with the pipe access hole during installation. The method may include the step of encapsulating these structures with a grouting material such as concrete or an equivalent. The method may include the step of providing a riser having a bottom surface resting upon the support surface of the spigot and a radially inward surface engaging the alignment surface.

An adapter frame for use when installing or renovating a basin in relation to a surface, the basin including a basin body with basin top, basin frame and basin cover. The adapter frame includes a skirt with an inward facing flange attached to an upper part of the skirt, an inner dimension of the flange being larger than a corresponding outer dimension of the basin frame and an inner dimension of at least a lower part of the skirt being larger than a corresponding outer dimension of the basin top. The adapter frame further includes a broad outward facing flange foot attached to a lower part of the skirt.

The present invention is a method for rehabilitating, repairing, and replacing manholes and connected sewer lines. In some embodiments, a compressed liner is inserted through the manhole access hole or the connected sewer lines. Prior to insertion, the liner may be cut and/or folded to be compressed to a size that can fit through the manhole opening or the sewer lines. Once inserted in the manhole or sewer lines, the liner should be expanded, and if necessary, bonded together with a resin along the separation line. Next, a bonding material may be injected between the liner and a surface of the manhole or sewer line to seal any cracks or fissures in the brick or concrete wall and to seal the liner against the existing manhole or sewer line to improve structural integrity and longevity. A new corbel may then be installed and bonded to the liner.

A pit defining an opening and having a footing. Cutouts are located in the footing and are created in mold to avoid secondary cutting operations. The wall of the pit above the footing is narrower than the footing and includes ribs extending from the wall for added compressive resistance. The ribs may vary in size both in length and extension into the center of the pit.

Disclosed herein is a free-standing cesspool and a cesspool liner that may be used to retrofit existing cesspools in order to provide additional storage and/or processing for raw sewage before the sewage leaches out of the cesspool.

A support tool for leakage repair of an inspection well includes: a curved loading plate having multiple grouting holes thereon, a telescopic adjustment device, and a base; wherein: one end of the telescopic adjustment device is connected to an inner side face of the curved loading plate, and the other end of the telescopic adjustment device is connected to the base; the telescopic adjustment device adjusts a distance between the curved loading plate and the base. The support tool is firstly hoisted at a leakage position of the inspection well; then a telescopic length of the telescopic adjustment device is adjusted, so that the curved loading plate and the base are in a close contact with opposite sides of the inspection well wall; and a grouting system is used to inject a double-slurry quick-setting repair material into a grouting pipe on the curved loading plate for plugging leakage.

It is disclosed an adapter frame (11) for use when installing or renovating a basin in relation to a surface, the basin including a basin body (11) with basin top (2), basin frame (7) and basin cover (9). The adapter frame (11) includes a skirt (111) with an inward facing flange (112) attached to an upper part of the skirt, an inner dimension of the flange (112) being larger than a corresponding outer dimension of the basin frame (7) and an inner dimension of at least a lower part of the skirt (111) being larger than a corresponding outer dimension of the basin top (2). The adapter frame further includes a broad outward facing flange foot (114) attached to a lower part of the skirt (111).

A manhole (100) for subterranean installation is described. The manhole (100) comprises a first chamber (110) arranged to receive storm water and a second chamber (120) arranged to receive sewage water. The first chamber (110) comprises a first inlet (111) and a first outlet (112). The second chamber (120) comprises a second inlet (121) and a second outlet (122). The first chamber (110) comprises a first access port (113) opposed to a first base (114) and a first wall (115) arranged therebetween. The second chamber (120) comprises a second access port (123) opposed to a second base (124) and a second wall (125) arranged therebetween. A first normal N1 to the first base (114) extends through the first base (114) and the second base (124). A sewer network 1000 and a method of installing the sewer network are also described.
