Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schacht aus Stahl zur Aufnahme von Tankausrüstung.The invention relates to a shaft made of steel for receiving tank equipment.

Bei einem derartigen Schacht kann es sich um einen Domschacht oder um einen Zapfsäulenschacht handeln. Ein Domschacht ist für einen unterirdischen Lagerbehälter bestimmt und dient zur Aufnahme der erforderlichen Leitungen und Kabel der Tankausrüstung. Der Domschacht soll eine möglichst ungehinderte Überwachung des Lagerbehälters und seiner Sicherheitseinrichtungen ermöglichen. Ein Zapfsäulenschacht befindet sich unterhalb einer Zapfsäule und enthält deren Anschlüsse sowie Kabel für Sicherheitseinrichtungen und dergleichen.Such a shaft can be a dome shaft or a fuel dispenser shaft. A cathedral shaft is intended for an underground storage container and is used to hold the necessary lines and cables for the tank equipment. The dome shaft should enable the storage container and its safety devices to be monitored as freely as possible. A fuel dispenser shaft is located below a fuel dispenser and contains its connections and cables for safety devices and the like.

Bisher übliche Domschächte und Zapfsäulenschächte bestehen aus Ziegelsteinen, die auf ein Betonfundament aufgemauert sind. Es läßt sich nicht vermeiden, daß kleinere Tropfmengen oder auch größere "Unfall"-Mengen flüssiger Mineralölprodukte unbeabsichtigt aus Rohrleitungen und Fördereinrichtungen oder aus deren Anschlüssen austreten. Auch wenn ein derartiger Domschacht konstruktiv richtig ausgebildet ist, treten Undichtigkeiten im Mauerwerk auf, die auch zu einer Beschädigung der Isolierschicht führen. Dies hat zur Folge, daß im Domschacht aus den Rohrleitungen ausgetretene Mineralölprodukte in das den Domschacht umgebende Erdreich gelangen und das Grundwasser verunreinigen können.Dome shafts and petrol pump shafts that have been common up to now consist of bricks that are built on a concrete foundation. It cannot be avoided that smaller amounts of droplets or even larger "accident" quantities of liquid mineral oil products unintentionally escape from pipelines and conveying devices or from their connections. Even if such a dome shaft is constructed correctly, leaks occur in the masonry, which also lead to damage to the insulating layer. As a result, mineral oil products escaping from the pipes in the dome shaft into the Soil surrounding the cathedral shaft and contaminate the groundwater.

Aus diesem Grunde ist bereits vorgeschlagen worden, in den gemauerten Domschacht einen Domschachtkragen aus Stahl einzusetzen, der im unteren Bereich des Domschachtes eine Auffangwanne bildet. Dieser Domschachtkragen ist mit einem dauerelastischen Mörtel gegenüber der Domschachtwand abgedichtet. Diese Ausbildung hat zwar den Vorteil, daß verhältnismäßig geringe Mengen ausgetretener Mineralölprodukte aufgefangen werden können. Wenn die Mineralölprodukte jedoch das obere Ende des Domschachtkragens übersteigen, besteht die Gefahr, daß sie durch den dauerelastischen Mörtel hindurchtreten, da hierzu bereits kleinste Poren ausreichen. Außerdem können im oberen, durch den Domschachtkragen ungeschützten Mauerwandbereich des Schachtes Undichtigkeiten auftreten, durch die die Mineralölprodukte aus dem Domschacht austreten können.For this reason, it has already been proposed to insert a steel shaft collar into the brick dome shaft, which collar forms a collecting trough in the lower area of the shaft. This cathedral shaft collar is sealed with a permanently elastic mortar against the cathedral shaft wall. This training has the advantage that relatively small amounts of leaked mineral oil products can be collected. However, if the mineral oil products exceed the upper end of the dome shaft collar, there is a risk that they will pass through the permanently elastic mortar, since even the smallest pores are sufficient. In addition, leaks can occur in the upper wall wall area of the shaft, which is unprotected by the dome shaft collar, through which the mineral oil products can escape from the dome shaft.

Dieselben Probleme bestehen bei den bisher üblichen Zapfsäulenschächten, die ebenfalls aus Ziegelsteinen aufgemauert sind.The same problems exist with the previously usual fuel pump manholes, which are also made of bricks.

Aus der AT-B-252818 ist ein Domschacht bekannt, dessen Wandung aus mindestens zwei vorgefertigten Teilstücken gebildet ist. Dabei ist das untere Teilstück mit der Behälteroberseite eines unterirdischen Lagerbehälters fest verbunden, während das obere Teilstück lösbar mit dem unteren Teilstück verbunden ist. Das obere Teilstück der Schachtwandung weist an seinem oberen Ende einen nach außen abgewinkelten, umlaufenden Flansch auf, auf dem ein Schachtdeckel aufliegt. Der in der AT-B-252818 beschriebene Domschacht ist nicht flüssigkeitsdicht, da an der Verbindungsstelle zwischen dem unteren und oberen Teilstück der Schachtwandung Flüssigkeit aus dem Schacht heraustreten kann.A dome shaft is known from AT-B-252818, the wall of which is formed from at least two prefabricated sections. The lower section is firmly connected to the top of a subterranean storage container, while the upper section is detachably connected to the lower section. The upper section of the shaft wall has at its upper end an outwardly angled, circumferential flange on which a manhole cover rests. The dome shaft described in AT-B-252818 is not liquid-tight, since liquid can emerge from the shaft at the connection point between the lower and upper part of the shaft wall.

Aus dem DE-GM 71 47 998 sind Domschächte aus Kunststoff bekannt. Gemäß dem DE-GM 71 47 998 ist eine Ringscheibe vorgesehen, die eine relativ große Auflagefläche aufweist. Die Auflagefläche soll dort so groß gestaltet werden, daß sie den Flächendruck aufnimmt und weder dem Domschacht noch dem Lagertank schädlich werden kann. Die große Auflagefläche der Ringscheibe nimmt also die Belastungen auf und überträgt sie nicht auf den Domschacht.Dome shafts made of plastic are known from DE-GM 71 47 998. According to DE-GM 71 47 998, an annular disc is provided which has a relatively large contact surface. The support surface should be designed there so large that it absorbs the surface pressure and can neither be harmful to the cathedral shaft nor the storage tank. The large contact surface of the washer absorbs the loads and does not transfer them to the cathedral shaft.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schacht der betrachteten Art so zu verbessern, daß er vollkommen flüssigkeitsdicht ist, so daß zuverlässig ein fehlerhafter Austritt von flüssigen Mineralölprodukten aus dem Schacht vermieden ist. Dabei soll der Schacht so ausgeführt sein, daß er auch von schweren Fahrzeugen befahrbar ist.The present invention has for its object to improve a shaft of the type under consideration so that it is completely liquid-tight, so that a faulty leakage of liquid mineral oil products from the shaft is reliably avoided. The shaft should be designed so that it can be driven even by heavy vehicles.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Schacht der betrachteten Art erfindungsgemäß durch die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.This object is achieved according to the invention in a shaft of the type under consideration by the features specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Gemäß der Erfindung hat der Schacht eine Stahlwand, die mit einem nach außen abgewinkelten, umlaufenden Stahlflansch einstückig verbunden ist, der in einem Betonkranz aufgenommen ist.
Der Betonkranz umgreift den oberen Endabschnitt der Stahlwand und überragt diesen in der Höhe. Bei dieser Ausbildung ist ein unbeabsichtigter Austritt flüssiger Mineralölprodukte aus dem Inneren des Schachtes durch dessen Wandung mit absoluter Sicherheit vermieden, da die Flüssigkeit auch im Anschlußbereich der Stahlwand an den Betonkranz, der gleichzeitig dem Höhenausgleich dient, keinen Weg ins Äußere des Schachtes finden kann. Überraschenderweise ergeben sich bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung auch keine Probleme, wenn der Schacht befahren wird, da die auftretenden Verkehrslasten (SLW 30) über entsprechende Abmessungen des Betonkranzes derart in den Untergrund abgetragen werden, daß die verbleibenden, auf den Lagerbehälter übertragenen Kräfte unbedenklich sind. Ein entsprechender statischer Nachweis ist von der Anmelderin geführt worden.
According to the invention, the shaft has a steel wall which is connected in one piece to an outwardly angled, circumferential steel flange which is received in a concrete ring.
The concrete ring surrounds the upper end section of the steel wall and projects above it in height. With this design, accidental leakage of liquid mineral oil products from the inside of the shaft through the wall of the shaft is avoided with absolute certainty, since the liquid cannot find a way into the outside of the shaft even in the connection area of the steel wall to the concrete rim, which also serves to compensate for the height. Surprisingly, with the design according to the invention, there are also no problems when the shaft is being driven over, since the traffic loads (SLW 30) occurring are transferred into the ground via corresponding dimensions of the concrete ring in such a way that the remaining forces transmitted to the storage container are harmless. The applicant has provided corresponding structural evidence.

Die Stahlwand ist vorzugsweise mit einer Außen- und einer Innenisolierschicht versehen. Wenn die Ausbildung des Betonkranzes so getroffen ist, daß dieser unterhalb des Flansches an der Außenisolierschicht anliegt und oberhalb des Flansches im wesentlichen mit der Innenfläche der Innenisolierschicht fluchtet, kann sich in diesem Bereich keine Flüssigkeit ansammeln, da die Innenwände des Betonkranzes und der Stahlwand glatt ineinander übergehen. Die Innenwand des Betonkranzes kann ebenfalls isoliert sein.The steel wall is preferably provided with an outer and an inner insulating layer. If the formation of the concrete ring is such that it lies below the flange on the outer insulation layer and is essentially flush with the inner surface of the inner insulation layer above the flange, no liquid can accumulate in this area, since the inner walls of the concrete ring and the steel wall smoothly into one another pass over. The inner wall of the concrete ring can also be insulated.

Der Betonkranz wird zweckmäßigerweise an der Einbaustelle gegossen und enthält eine Bewehrung, um die einwirkenden Kräfte sicher aufnehmen zu können.The concrete wreath is expediently poured at the installation site and contains reinforcement in order to be able to safely absorb the acting forces.

Sowohl bei Domschächten als auch bei Zapfsäulenschächten werden üblicherweise die Rohrenden für die Saugleitung und die Belüftungsleitungen als auch zumindest ein Kabelrohrstutzen durch die Schachtwandung hindurchgeführt. Während bei den bisher üblichen Schächten die Wandöffnungen nachträglich mit BetonMörtel abgedichtet werden, und in diesem Bereich wiederum die Gefahr besteht, daß flüssige Mineralölprodukte durch Undichtigkeiten austreten, wird gemäß der Erfindung mit Vorteil vorgeschlagen, die Rohrenden und den oder die Kabelrohrstutzen in die Stahlwand einzuschweißen. Mit dieser Maßnahme ist ein vollkommen dichter Anschluß an die Stahlwand geschaffen. Für Nachrüst- oder Umbaumaßnahmen können auch zusätzliche Rohrenden auf Vorrat eingeschweißt und zunächst dichtgesetzt werden.Both in dome shafts and in fuel dispenser shafts, the pipe ends for the suction line and the ventilation lines, as well as at least one cable pipe socket, are usually passed through the shaft wall. While in the previously usual shafts the wall openings are subsequently sealed with concrete mortar, and in this area there is again the risk that liquid mineral oil products leak through leaks, it is advantageously proposed according to the invention to weld the pipe ends and the cable pipe connection (s) into the steel wall. This measure creates a completely tight connection to the steel wall. For retrofitting or conversion measures, additional pipe ends can be welded in stock and initially sealed.

Der erfindungsgemäße Domschacht weist vorzugsweise über dem Betonkranz eine Schachtabdeckung auf, die großflächig auf dem Betonkranz aufliegt und mit einer Beton-Mörtelschicht von vorzugsweise etwa 2 cm Dicke auf die ganze Fläche des Betonkranzes aufgesetzt ist. Damit werden Verkehrslasten aus dem Befahren des Domschachtes sicher abgetragen. Die Stahlwand des Domschachtes ist flüssigkeitsdicht auf den Lagerbehälter aus Stahl aufgeschweißt.The dome shaft according to the invention preferably has a manhole cover over the concrete ring, which lies over a large area on the concrete ring and is placed on the entire surface of the concrete ring with a layer of concrete mortar, preferably about 2 cm thick. In this way, traffic loads from driving on the cathedral shaft are safely borne. The steel wall of the dome shaft is welded to the steel storage container in a liquid-tight manner.

Der erfindungsgemäße, durch seinen Aufbau flüssigkeitsdicht geschweißte Zapfsäulenschacht ruht auf einem Betonfundament auf, wobei das untere Ende der Stahlwand auf eine Stahlplatte aufgeschweißt ist, deren Rand flanschartig über die Stahlwand hinausragt. Der untere Endabschnitt der Stahlwand ist zusammen mit der Stahlplatte in das Betonfundament aufgenommen.The dispenser shaft according to the invention, which is welded to be liquid-tight due to its construction, rests on a concrete foundation, the lower end of the steel wall being welded onto a steel plate, the edge of which projects like a flange over the steel wall. The lower end portion of the steel wall is included in the concrete foundation along with the steel plate.
