I. Materials Science and Manufacturing Process
1. High-Performance Composite Material System:
Matrix Resin: Uses high-quality unsaturated polyester resin or vinyl ester resin, giving the chamber body excellent chemical corrosion resistance. It can long-term withstand erosion from complex media such as domestic sewage, industrial wastewater, acid rain, and salt spray. Its acid and alkali resistance pH range is wide, far exceeding the tolerance of ordinary concrete.
Reinforcement Fiber: Uses alkali-free glass fiber as the main reinforcement material. Through oriented ply design, the material's tensile, compressive, and impact strength are greatly enhanced. Its specific strength (strength-to-density ratio) is much higher than that of steel, achieving a unification of lightweight and high strength for the chamber body.
2. Advanced Manufacturing Process:
High-Temperature, High-Pressure Compression Molding: This process ensures the product has extremely high dimensional accuracy, a dense structure, and consistent mechanical properties. The inner and outer walls of the chamber are smooth and seamless, fundamentally eliminating the risk of leakage, effectively reducing fluid resistance, and preventing debris buildup.
II. Core Structure and Performance Parameters
1. Structural Mechanics Design:
Ring Stiffness (SN): Through the 50mm balanced wall thickness and scientific rib design, this product can easily achieve a high ring stiffness of SN12.5 and above, ensuring structural stability of the chamber body under deep backfilling and dynamic vehicle loads, without buckling deformation.
Load-Bearing Grade: When matched with a corresponding grade of cover and frame, it can meet the D400 (heavy load) or even E600 (extra-heavy load) urban road requirements stipulated in the "GB/T 23858-2009 Manhole Covers and Gully Covers" standard, with excellent compressive strength.
2. Key Performance Indicators:
Weight: The unit weight is approximately 60-80 kilograms, only 1/10 to 1/8 of that of a concrete chamber of the same specification, greatly reducing transportation, hoisting costs, and manual labor intensity.
Service Life: Based on the material's aging resistance and excellent durability, the design service life is not less than 50 years, achieving near maintenance-free operation throughout its entire life cycle.
Sealing Performance: The modular interface design uses high-performance elastic sealing rings, providing excellent sealing to prevent groundwater infiltration and sewage leakage, complying with environmental protection requirements.
III. Engineering Application and Economic Analysis
1. Revolution in Construction Efficiency:
The product adopts a modular design with standardized on-site assembly procedures, eliminating the need for traditional masonry or concrete curing time. The construction period can be shortened by over 80%, significantly reducing the impact of road excavation on traffic and communities, aligning with the modern engineering philosophy of "rapid construction."
2. Whole-Life-Cycle Cost Advantage:
Although the initial procurement cost may be similar to or slightly higher than traditional high-end concrete chambers, its cost advantages in transportation, installation, and maintenance are extremely significant. The very low maintenance requirements (almost maintenance-free) and ultra-long service life reduce its comprehensive whole-life-cycle cost by 30%-50% compared to traditional solutions, demonstrating significant economy.
3. Comprehensive Engineering Benefits:
Anti-Settlement Performance: Its lightweight and high-strength characteristics make it easier to coordinate with the deformation modulus of backfill materials. Through standardized installation and backfilling procedures, it can effectively avoid uneven settlement at the interface with the road surface, completely solving the common road quality problem of "settlement around the chamber."
Safety and Environmental Protection: It is insulating, anti-slip, and theft-resistant. The materials are recyclable, and the carbon emissions throughout its entire life cycle are far lower than those of concrete products, making it a preferred choice for green construction.
