Product Specification
PAM is the recognised leading brand
of municipal castings in the UK, uniquely
positioned to provide access and drainage
solutions to the highway, telecommunication,
utility, commercial and industrial markets. The
PAM range is available through Burdens.

BS EN124 Specification
Access covers and gully grates installed in the UK should meet the
requirements of the European standard BS EN124. This applies to
all situations, road and off-road and all materials. Products designed
to BS EN124 are grouped and classified depending on their place
of installation.
It is the responsibility of the engineer to ensure that the correct product
is specified,
The appropriate class of manhole top or gully top to be used depends
upon the place of installation. The selection of the appropriate class is
the responsibility of the designer. Where there is any doubt the stronger
class should be selected.
Clause 5 BS EN124

BS EN124 Specification cont.

Today, more than ever before, quality is of paramount importance in
the construction of the road network, not just to manufacturers but
to suppliers, installers and road users alike. With ever increasing traffic
volumes, the strain placed on roads and upon the access covers and gully
grates within those roads, is at the highest levels ever.
In this climate, specifiers have become increasingly conscious of their
obligation to ensure road user safety by demanding products which are
manufactured and tested to the highest standards. This re-assurance
is afforded by specifying high quality, third party accredited products.
Customers can be sure that products bearing the BSI Kitemark have
been independently certified as complying with BS EN124.
The Kitemark is recognised around the world as proof
that a product has been made, tested and fully complies
with the technical requirements of the Standard.
Saint-Gobain PAM UK manufactures its highway
products in accordance with the following three
Kitemark licences:
BS EN124 : 1994,
BS 5834 : Part 2 : 1983 and
BS 5834 : Part 3 : 1985.
Saint-Gobain PAM UK manufacture a wide range of access covers and
gully grates each designed for a specific application. When selecting
a product it is important that the specification of each product is
considered in addition to the guidance contained within BS EN124 in
order to best meet the requirements of the application.
In many cases a number of products will be classified to the same
BS EN124 reference and group but may have specific and different
recommended usages.
Factors such as volume, speed and type of traffic plus any special
conditions such as narrow lanes, roundabouts, traffic lights, traffic
calming and bus routes need to be considered for road applications.
In off-road situations consideration should be given to the likelihood of
vehicle loading for parking or to gain emergency access, frequency of any
trafficking and the type of vehicles likely to traffic the product.
Guidance is given throughout this guide on the recommended applications
for each product.

LTS (Load Transfer System)

The LTS feature was designed specifically to reduce the strain the
casting creates in specific areas of the bedding material.
Large Corner Webs
The range has been optimised so that there is an
increased area where the load is concentrated
giving a reduction of measurable strain between
30% to 50% in the bedding.
Bonding Ribs
Rib design significantly improves bonding to the
bedding material creating a greater resistance to
lateral shift. This helps to avoid early separation and
cracking of the bedding material, which can cause
premature failure.
Rib Positioning
Positioning of the ribs plays a critical role in
reducing the risk of cracking the bedding material.
The position opposite the cover seating areas
reduces the risk of frame deflection and insures that
impact to the surrounding materials is limited.
Flange Stiffness
The thickness of the flange at the corners prevents
bending caused by dynamic loading. Prevention
of bending in this area reduces disturbance of the
bedding material.

Pamrex
Designed to withstand the rigours of modern traffic conditions,
Pamrex is capable of withstanding loads in excess of the EN 124 D400
requirement.
This is achieved in silence thanks to its unique elastomer gasket. More
recent enhancements included improved ergonomic and security
features.
Infiltration
To dramatically reduce the amount of surface water entering the
sewer system, engineers at Saint-Gobain Pipelines have developed an
innovative plug for the hinge housing.
The dual wiper plug reduces the amount of water entering the
network while at the same time enabling debris to be easily removed
from the hinge housing and an additional ring completes the no-ingress
performance.
Safety
Protecting field personnel from the risk of injury and the below-ground
networks from catastrophic failure are two of the primary concerns facing
todays engineers and municipal administrators.
Hinge incorporates a 90 blocking feature to prevent accidental
closure.
Self-centering design of the gasket eliminates the need to guide the
cover into position when closing
Lifting loops in the frame assists safe offloading and installation with
appropriate and safe equipment
The cover is designed to open and release the pressure if the sewer
becomes surcharged (provided that no additional lock has been fitted
and that the frame has been securely anchored to the top of the
chamber)
The cover opens to 130 to allow uninterrupted access. It can also be
completely removed if deemed necessary.
Design
Improved ergonomics
Hinges reduce the physical effort by 50%
Hinges allow the operator to move in a straight line thereby avoiding
damaging spinal rotation
Lifting points in the cover are designed for use with standard tools
(pickaxe/hook/bar).

Stability and durability

Gasket rings absorb damaging traffic shock and help to prevent the
breakdown of frame bedding materials. Therefore structural failure that
can lead to more serious problems like frame instability is significantly
reduced. Scientific analysis has clearly shown that new gaskets absorb 64%
of the shock and even after many years of service continue to absorb over
50% of the shock
Gasket rings ensure cover stability regardless of traffic conditions.

Aqua-Max Range
Easier, safer, more secure and highly efficient
Saint-Gobain PAM UK have always been at the forefront of product design and
development, constantly pushing boundaries and with the new Aqua-Max grating,
this theme continues.
Increased security
The Aqua-Max has an automatic passive spring locking system that secures the
grating firmly in place once it has been closed. This spring lock is standard on all
Aqua-Max products and is integrated into the grating itself.
A locking arm engages with a lug on the inside of the frame to prevent
unauthorised or accidental opening. A prising bar is required to lever the grating
open at which point the locking arm elastically deflects past the frame lug, allowing
the grating to be hinged open.
Increased safety
Saint-Gobain PAM UKs engineers have developed the markets first truly captive
hinged grating. Designers have generated a product that does not employ separate
hinge pins.
The Aqua-Max grating is fitted into the frame during manufacture and held securely
in place by a welded rear frame panel. This ensures that once assembled the grating
and frame cannot be separated even under the most arduous conditions.
Improved efficiency
Aqua-Max has been designed with water absorption at the forefront of the engineers
mind. The most efficient part of a grating is the area in immediate proximity to the
kerb, where the vast majority of surface water is located during rainfall.
Designers have ensured that the Aqua-Max has a significant water clearing area
adjacent to the kerb ensuring it is the most effective grating in its class.
Improved durability/lifespan Load Transfer System
In recognition of the importance of whole life costs in todays financially prudent
environment, the Aqua-Max range has been exactingly designed with durability in
mind. The frame incorporates the benefits of the Load Transfer System (LTS) as
with the popular Opt-Emax and Inter-Ax ranges. In addition wedge seatings reduce
and restrict grate movement which would otherwise lead to wear and ultimately
to failure.

Improved opening ergonomics

Compared to traditional lift-out gratings, the hinged Aqua-Max design gives quick
and easy access for drain rodding and cleaning, with minimum required effort.
Aqua-Max D400
USE: Recommended for use in city roads carrying continuous heavy
traffic where drainage efficiency is essential - with the addition of a
captive hinge for ease of maintenance.

Selecta range
The Selecta kerb gully drainage unit in ductile iron with opening top and
grating for optimum access, is the professionals solution to the problem of
draining rainwater.
Available in two sizes and two profiles: Selecta Maxi and Selecta 500,
Selecta units have been designed to ensure drainage performance whilst
maximising safety.
Screening of debris
A raised bar limits access to the sewer system for larger debris and some
objects carried by run-off water.
Anti-Obstruction
The surfaces of the bars are equipped with facets that are oriented to prevent
leaves or litter from blocking the drain.
Drainage
In the lower section of the gutter, the bars
are arranged longitudinally in order to
maximise water drainage.
Operation
Full opening with two flaps provides
a wide unobstructed clear opening area to
the sewer system, well suited to the insertion of
cleaning or inspection equipment.

Selecta Maxi
Urban T profile

Opening
Both Selecta Maxi and 500 feature vandal resistant ductile iron spring bars
to prevent unauthorised entry.
Grating and covers can be opened separately or together using a crow bar or
pick axe to obtain full access.
Closing
Applying a little pressure to the top of the cover or grating will ensure
that the spring bar activates and again provides an effective barrier against
unauthorised access.
Safety for Cyclists and Pedestrians
On the carriageway, the bars are perpendicular to the direction of the traffic
in order to ensure safety for cyclists.
On the pavement side, the elimination of clearance on the hinge system and
of any roughness on the surface of the cover ensures safety for pedestrians.

SHIMPAC Planks & Collars

Designed for carriageway and footpath ironwork support.
SHIMPAC Planks & Collars are the best alternative to cut bricks and
tiles when re-bedding manhole/gully frames and covers. Made from
compressed cement and wood fibre, they are non-combustible and
will not rot, making them ideal for permanent shuttering. They are
quick and easy to install using traditional, fast setting, polyester based
and epoxy based mortars.
