18、cables inside sewer ducts 1 Introduction The installation of optical cables inside sewer ducts is basically a trenchless technique. Optical cable installation in sewer ducts presents many advantages compared with traditional trench installation techniques, such as: less time for cable laying, not li

19、mited by weather conditions, increased protection of cable against damage, no traffic disruption, no noise pollution, no excavation, no damage to road surfaces and underground installations, no heavy equipment, no inconvenience to businesses or to citizens. In general, there are two categories of se

20、wers: man-accessible and non-man-accessible sewers. The definition of whether a sewer is man-accessible or not depends not only on national regulations, but also on the individual regulations of different sewer network operators. Usually, non-man-accessible sewers have diameters between 200 mm and 7

21、00 mm. Installation in non-man-accessible sewers is carried out with the help of robots. In man-accessible sewers, both robot-assisted and manual installation of cables is feasible. Basically, there are three different methods to install optical cables into sewer ducts: a) Special armoured optical c

22、ables, designed to be directly installed at the bottom of the sewers; b) Self-supporting optical cables, designed to be directly suspended at the top part of sewers; c) Traditional optical cables or micro-cables, designed to be installed in protective ducts which have to be installed before the cabl

23、e installation. NOTE 1 The most important optical cable structures and related performances suitable for these kinds of installation techniques are described in ITU-T L.78. NOTE 2 The sewer optical cables and/or related infrastructure should be designed and manufactured for an expected operating lif

24、etime of at least 15 years. It should be possible to install or remove the cable to/from the sewer throughout the operation lifetime. The materials in the sewer optical cable and/or the related infrastructure shall not present a health hazard within its intended use. 2 References The following ITU-T

29、 of infrastructure and/or optical fibre cables inside sewer ducts 3.1 Sewer assessment Exact information about the structural condition of the sewer networks in which cable systems are to be installed is to be considered as a prerequisite. It must be clarified whether the pipes are suitable with res

30、pect to their structural/operating condition, capable of being used for the installation of an optical cable. Furthermore, in the case of non-man-accessible sections, it must be determined whether these are suitable for installation by a robot. Thus, for example, significant structural changes in th

31、e sewers (collapse) or promontory pipe junctions can hinder the use of robots or even make their use impossible if other remedial measures are unable to solve the problem. The static bearing capacity of the sewers and their suitability for rehabilitation measures must be estimated using the results

32、of the assessment. Equally important to the assessment of the static bearing capacity, the hydraulics must be checked with respect to the reduction of the section caused by installation of the cable. This will determine whether one or, if necessary, even several cables can be installed in a pipe or

33、sewer. In planning the cable routes, the experience of the sewer network operator with respect to loading and strategic planning for the future, additional discharges into the sewer must be taken into account. The operation of the sewer networks must not be affected by the installation of cables. Th

34、e cables must adhere as much as possible to the pipe ceiling. The technology used must also ensure that the sewer ducts are not damaged during the installation or the operation of the cable network. In the area of the manholes, the cables must be laid so that solids cannot be caught on them and in s

35、uch a way as to ensure safe accessibility to the manhole. A suitable grounding system is documented to avoid the formation of high induced voltage and sparking, which is absolutely not acceptable in locations with explosion hazards, such as the sewer systems. At the entry and exit of sewer pipes, a

36、connecting point for equipotential bonding between all the metallic parts of the infrastructure and the cables must be provided, measured and documented. 3.2 Installation in non-man-accessible sewers Installation in non-man-accessible sewers is made by robots and shall be damage-free when using all

37、types of pipe material (vitrified clay, plastics, concrete, etc.). Anchoring installation methods in non-man-accessible sewers are not recommended as the sewer pipe wall thickness is weakened by drilled holes and might break due to the heavy load or pipe sagging. Later alterations and extensions of

38、manhole installations and/or of the telecommunications network shall be possible. The optical cable infrastructure consists of protective conduits fixed, by using a robot, to the sewer duct by special clamps equipped with clips. All the materials used for the infrastructure in the sewer pipes must b

39、e of stainless steel type (V4A, CrNiMo-steel) to ensure the mechanical protection in the sewer environment and the protection against rodents for the optical cable. The clamps are adjustable 360 ring straps. Depending on the requirements of the communication network, clamps for sewer pipes with a no

40、minal diameter of 300 mm and above can be equipped with up to nine clips, so that up to nine protective conduits can be mounted. Sewer pipes with a nominal diameter of 200 mm or 250 mm can be equipped with a maximum of three clips. Protective conduits shall be corrugated tubes. The corrugated steel

41、tubes are available with an outer diameter of 11.5 mm or 15.5 mm in order to cause only a negligible reduction of cross section. Sewer rehabilitation work can still be carried out after the installation. ITU-T Rec. L.77 (05/2008) 3 Flexible cable trays can be used to guide and protect the optical ca

42、bles in sewer manholes if the protective conduits cannot pass the manhole or if an over-length storage box or a cable closure has to be installed in the manhole. All the parts shall be designed to guarantee the minimum allowed cable bending radius on the entire network installed into the sewers. For

43、 the application in sewer systems, the optical cables should have modified polyethylene sheaths. 3.2.1 Visual inspection Visual inspection of the sewer by the installation robot is mandatory in order to exactly evaluate the status and geometry of sewer sections, and to confirm next-step installation

44、 possibility. When passing through the sewer, the exact location of pipe joints and laterals are recorded, allowing the determination and documentation of the optimum position of the clamps in the sewer pipe. 3.2.2 Installation of the clamps First of all, the robot installs the clamps, which are mou

45、nted at a typical distance of 1.5-1.8 m inside the sewer ducts. In order to install a clamp, the spring box on the clamp is unlocked, so that the clip ring is expanded against the duct wall and tightly fixed to the inside sewer wall without drilling, cutting or screwing. 3.2.3 Laying and fixation of

46、 the protective conduits In order to install the conduits, they are pulled into the sewer pipes, and then the robot presses them into the clips of the already installed clamps. They are laid straight like a bar directly onto the inside sewer duct wall. 3.2.4 Mounting of the manhole parts The mountin

47、g of the manhole parts is done manually. 3.2.5 Installation of the optical cable The optical cables are blown into the conduits. The necessary equipment and procedures are similar to the standard installation of optical cables into micro ducts. It is recommended that the maximum diameter of the cabl

48、e be 70-80% of the corrugated steel tube diameter. For example, for the installation in a 11.5-mm corrugated steel tube, the maximum diameter of the cable is 9.2 mm; for a 15.5-mm tube, the maximum cable diameter is 11.5 mm. 3.3 Installation in man-accessible sewers The optical cable infrastructure

49、consists of protective conduits fixed to the sewer wall by special clip holders equipped with clips, in which protective conduits can be fitted. All the materials used for the infrastructure in the sewer pipes must be of stainless steel type (V4A, CrNiMo-steel) to ensure mechanical protection in the sewer environment and protection against rodents for the optical cable. The clip holders are straps fixed by the operators with expansion bolts. The wall thickness in sewers with a nominal diameter of 800 mm and above allows for the holes drilled to accommodate expansion bo
