Abstract

Regarding the average age of sewers in Austria, rehabilitation becomes more and more important. In Austria so far no guideline for sewer maintenance and rehabilitation strategies exists. A Pilot-Study was financed by the ministry of environment and the regional government of Styria to develop in several theoretical workshops and practical implementations a guideline for sewer operation and maintenance. With 4 operators the project has been carried out to test the proposed instructions described in the guideline which will be revised for an Austrian-wide application. The aim of the project was to raise the working quality of several branches involved in sewer maintenance like e. g. high pressure jetting, CCTV-inspection together with the development of standardised tender documents.
