Guide to the structural design of buried pipelines

BS 9295:2010 Guide to the structural design of buried pipelines

BS 9295 gives information and guidance on how to use:

• BS EN 1295-1:1997 Structural design of buried pipelines under various conditions of loading. General requirements

• PD CEN/TR 1295-2:2005 Structural design of buried pipelines under various conditions of loading. Summary of nationally established methods of design.

BS EN 1295-1 specifies the requirements for the structural design of:

• Water supply pipelines

• Drains

• Sewers

• Other water industry pipelines

BS EN 1295-1 covers pipes and systems whether operating at atmospheric, greater or lesser pressure.

PD CEN/TR 1295-2:2005 gives additional guidance to BS EN 1295-1 on the application of the methods of design declared by and used in CEN member countries.

BS 9295 gives further information on the structural design of buried pipelines under various conditions of loading using the established United Kingdom (UK) method. BS 9295 consolidates and updates the various documents that together describe the UK method.

BS 9295 is a key standard for anyone in the construction industry that designs or builds water supply systems, drains, sewage systems and underground pipes.
