Introduction
The self-anchoring or locking of socket joints

is an alternative technique to using concrete
anchor blocks to absorb hydraulic thrust forces.
These forces are generated by changes in
direction, cross section or branch off-takes on
water supply and distribution pipes.
Self-anchoring is an especially attractive option
when there are restrictions on the size of
fittings, notably in urban areas, and in unstable
ground or when it is difficult to obtain sufficient
quantities of concrete.This technology does
away with heavy, space-consuming concrete
anchor blocks. Self-anchoring also has the
advantage of being time-saving when
assembling pipe components and allows
pipelines to be tested immediately after being
laid as there is no need to wait for concrete to
set.
has developed a complete range of selfanchoring solutions suitable for all operating
conditions and installation configurations
.
The wide
range includes the following
self-anchoring techniques:
Standard Vi
in the range from DN 60 to 300
Express Vi
in the range from de DN 60 to 300
Standard Ve
Pamlock
The range has now been further enhanced with
many new technological innovations recently
implemented by
:
Standard Vi
Universal Vi and Ve
in the Natural range from DN 80 to 600
Universal Ve
in the classic range from DN 700 to 1200
Using self-anchoring systems is the modern
way of installing ductile iron pipelines
while making the most of their outstanding
mechanical properties.
's goal is to make its self-anchoring

solutions easier to understand, specify and
install.

Self-anchoring water pipes Why?

Hydraulic thrust forces occur at the location of
changes in direction, reductions in diameter (bends,
tees, tapered sections) and at the end of pipelines
carrying pressurized fluid. These forces may lead
to joint separation on the pipeline unless they are
counteracted by using concrete anchor blocks or
self-anchoring devices.
Hydraulic thrust
forces occurring
in a pipeline
Three reference pressures

Standards EN 805 and EN 545 define three pressures to
specify the characteristics of water pipeline.
PFA Allowable working pressure
Maximum hydrostatic pressure that a component is
capable of withstanding continuously in service.
PMA Maximum allowable working pressure

Maximum pressure occurring from time to time,
including surge, that a component is capable of
withstanding in service.
PEA Allowable test pressure
Maximum hydrostatic pressure that a newly installed

component is capable of withstanding for a relatively
short duration, in order to ensure the integrity and
tightness of the pipeline.

Hydraulic thrust forces can be very severe and

must be counteracted by suitable self-anchoring
devices or concrete anchor blocks.
Hydraulic thrust forces can be calculated using the
following general formula:
F = K.P.S
F : thrust force (in N)

Greater freedom
in designing networks
Phasing out concrete anchor blocks
Self-anchoring: A modern approach

to water supply networks
Self-anchoring technologies are increasingly taking

the place of concrete anchor blocks which have
many drawbacks including their weight and size.
The utilization of self-anchoring solutions is

growing fast in most countries all over world.
These solutions offer significant advantages:
Space on work sites

The larger the diameter of the pipeline, the bigger
the anchor blocks required. This can lead to real
problems as the limited space available under
ground has to be shared by a great many networks
(such as gas, sewage, telecommunications and
cable networks).
Limiting space requirement underground

Pipelines fitted with self-anchoring systems take
up no more space than pipelines without selfanchoring. This leaves space for other networks
and, what is more, helps reduce the volumes of
material to be excavated.
Trench opening time

Good concreting practices require a maturing
time of 28 days before applying a load. Even if
this time can be shortened, it constitutes a major
constraint that is no longer acceptable in urban
areas.
Long-term risks of destabilization
These risks may be due to natural causes, such
as non-homogeneous soils or irregular ground,
nearby digging for work on other networks,
especially in urban areas. These factors affect the
stability and, therefore, the durability of concrete
structures and raise the fear of possible junction
separations.
A heritage that is hard to manage
Major dismantling works have to be carried out
when modifications or servicing are required
on a pipeline or, later on, when a pipe has to be
removed at the end of its life.
Reducing logistic constraints

For reasons such as accessibility and cost, it is not
always easy to bring in several cubic metres of
concrete to make anchor blocks. Pipeline laying rates
are often limited by the rotation of trucks delivering
concrete. Self-anchoring devices are light and easy
to transport to the installation site, whether it be in
the city, in the country, or in remote mountainous or
desert regions.
Quick installation and setting into service
Self-anchoring systems are extremely quick to
install, especially the STANDARD Vi and EXPRESS
Vi systems. What is more, they can be submitted
to hydraulic tests immediately after being
installed.
Proven stability and durability
The operation of self-anchoring systems relies on
a combination of their intrinsic resistance to joint
's
separation and friction with the soil.
recommendations on self-anchoring lengths take
into account the type of soil and the risks of
works conducted in the vicinity of the pipes. The
self-anchoring systems receive the same level of
corrosion protection as the pipes and fittings.
Possibility of dismantling
Pipelines can always be dismantled with tools
supplied by
, without entailing long and
extensive civil engineering work.

Greater flexibility
for network acceptance procedures
Self-anchoring solutions to meet

increasingly strict pipe-laying
requirements
Pipe laying and site acceptance procedures

have been speeded up and have reached an
unprecedented level of reliability thanks to selfanchoring devices.
The various self-anchoring solutions can be

adapted to respond to even the most difficult
pipe-laying situations:
No longer any need to wait for concrete to set

Pipes are ready for pressure testing as soon as
the anchoring devices have been fitted.
Casing pipe-laying, road crossing, tunnels,

bridges,
Doing away with test anchor blocks

There is no longer any need to make test anchor
blocks for the individual testing of pipeline
segments thanks to the use of EXPRESS Vi flanged
socket fittings.
Directional drilling or pipe bursting replacement

(UNIVERSAL Ve, see directional drilling brochure),
Laying in mountainous areas, notably using
UNIVERSAL self-anchoring solutions adopted in
the ALPINAL range (see the ALPINAL brochure), and
also for micro hydroelectric power plants, etc.
Shorter segments can be tested

It is now possible to test shorter lengths of
pipeline so it is easier to locate and solve any
problems that may arise and trenches can be
refilled more quickly.
Pipe-laying in poor soil or submerged ground,

etc.
Saint-Gobain
self-anchoring devices can
be tested up to their allowable test pressure (PEA)
during acceptance tests. (See pages 21, 23, 24, 28).
Self-anchoring and sustainable development

- Save on materials: joints weighing just a few
kilos can replace several tons of concrete.
- Save space: thanks to the compactness of these
systems.
- Save on transport (for earth fills and concrete).
- Save time.
- Save wood, as formwork for concrete anchor
blocks is no longer needed.

A variety of self-anchoring
techniques
The self-anchoring of ductile iron
pipelines can be achieved using two
technical solutions
Insert type self-anchoring techniques
With insert type self-anchoring systems, joint
separation is prevented by means of hard
stainless steel inserts which fit into sockets in the
pipes or fittings. These inserts have teeth which
grip the spigot end of the pipe or fitting and
lock it against axial displacement. These insert
systems rely on the ductile nature of the cast iron
which allows the penetration of inserts without
any risk of failure.
Detail of a STANDARD Vi locking ring
Main advantages of the two

self-anchoring techniques
The main advantage of these systems is that

they can be implemented on site without any
special preparation.
The inserts can be fitted in the sealing chamber,
as in the case of self-anchoring devices of the
STANDARD Vi type, or in a specially designed
self-anchoring chamber, as in the case of the
UNIVERSAL Vi self-anchoring system.
Bead type self-anchoring techniques
With bead type self-anchoring systems, joint
separation is prevented by pressing a metal
locking ring, which fits into socket in the pipe
or into the mating flange installed before the
socket, onto a metal bead on the spigot end.
This bead is made by welding (in the case of
pipes) or by casting during manufacture (which
is generally the case for fittings).
The main advantage of these self-anchoring
systems is their ability to withstand very high
pressure.

mechanism is always located in a specially
dedicated chamber.

Self-anchoring solutions
that are fully tried and tested
self-anchoring systems are designed
and tested in strict compliance with the quality
assurance procedures specified by standard ISO
9001-2000 and in keeping with the standards
applicable to ductile iron pipelines including, in
particular, standards EN 545 and ISO 10804-1, as
well as
's specific internal specifications.
Thanks to this strict approach,

is able to
provide its customers with self-anchoring solutions
of outstanding reliability.
The self-anchoring devices are submitted,
specifically, to four essential tests prescribed by
European standard EN 545.

conditions are applied in order to reproduce all the
installation conditions (not only average conditions).
For the design of new products, PAM goes further

than the requirements specified in applicable
standards:
Each diameter (DN) is individually tested
(rather than just one diameter for each
product range).
Test methods for resistance to positive,

negative and cyclic internal pressure
Test methods for resistance to external pressure
The durability of joints is assessed by internal

pressure testing at 80C for six monthss.

Our self-anchoring solutions:

a complete range to meet your needs
's self-anchoring solutions are designed according of two different levels of performance,
plus a supplementary range to cater for some specific situations
Solutions for most common situations
Supplementary solutions
Our solutions are based on the following selfanchoring techniques:

STANDARD Vi for pipes, DN 60 to 600 and
fittings 350 to 600.
EXPRESS Vi for fittings, DN 60 to 300.
Our supplementary solutions are based on the

following self-anchoring techniques:
STANDARD Ve for pipes and fittings,
DN 80 to 1200.
STANDARD V+i for fittings,
DN 350 to 600.
The performance of these self-anchoring systems

is suitable for the usual water distribution and
supply requirements.
With the STANDARD Ve self-anchoring system,

which provides performance close to those of
the UNIVERSAL Ve range, the decision to anchor
high-pressure pipelines can be taken on site. Pipes
or fittings with STANDARD single-chamber joints
can be installed by means of counter flanges or by
adding a weld bead.
Solutions for high pressures

and high hydraulic thrusts
Our solutions are based on the following selfanchoring techniques :
UNIVERSAL Vi for pipes and fittings,
DN 80 to 600 .
UNIVERSAL Ve for pipes and fittings,
DN 100 to 1200 .
PAMLOCK for pipes and fittings,
DN 1400 to 1800.
The STANDARD Ve and STANDARD V+i self-anchoring

devices can also be used with UNIVERSAL Ve and
Vi pipes, particularly at diameters of DN 350 and
450, for which no UNIVERSAL fittings are currently
available..
UNIVERSAL Vi offers the same simple fitting as

the STANDARD Vi range but uses special doublechamber fittings and pipes. This very practical
solution caters for pressures higher than those
withstood by STANDARD Vi.
UNIVERSAL Ve is designed for use at very high
pressures or large diameters from DN 700 to 1200
where massive hydraulic thrusts occur.

What length
of pipeline should be anchored?
Self-anchoring
of pipes as
appropriate
The technique is based on the principle of anchoring

joints over a sufficient length on both sides of a
region of hydraulic thrust, such as a bend, in order
to harness soil/pipe friction forces to counteract the
thrust force.
The calculation of the length to be anchored does
not depend on the self-anchoring system used. It
depends on the test pressure, the pipe diameter and
the parameters shown in the two figures, C & D.
The following formula is used to calculate the selfanchoring length L:
- L : self-anchoring length (in m)
- P : on-site test pressure (in Pa)

- S : cross section (in m2)
- n : bend angle (in radians)
- c : safety coefficient (generally 1,2)
- Fn : frictional force per metre of pipe (in N/m)
Parameters
required
to calculate
self-anchoring
length
Fn = K.(2.We + Wp + Ww)
- Wp : weight per metre of empty pipe (in N/m)
- Ww : weight per metre of water (in N/m)
- K : coefficient of earth fill pressure distribution

around pipes (depending on compacting, K = 1,1 to 1,5)
- : coefficient of soil/pipe friction
- We : weight per metre of earth fill (in N/m)
We = .HD1
- 1 = 1, for test with joints with earth fill
- 1 = 2/3, for test with uncovered joints

- D : pipe outside diameter (in m)
16
- H : covering height (in m)
= 2 .tg (o,8.)x
- 2 = 1 ; pipe with zinc or zinc-aluminium coating

+ bituminous or epoxy paint
- 2 = 2/3 ; TT pipe, with polyethylene

or polyurethane coating
- 2 = 2/3 ; pipe with polyethylene sleeve where

Kf = min (K.2/3.tg (o,8); 0,3)
- : angle of internal friction for earth fill

A safety coefficient may be applied to the length to

be anchored, depending on:
- the laying conditions,
- the quality and compaction of the earth fill,
- uncertainty regarding the physical characteristics
of the earth fill.
Where applicable, allowance should be made for

any partial presence of groundwater by correcting
the weight of the full pipe by applying the
corresponding buoyancy value.

In case of ground with an average mechanical

resistance, consisting of gravel or silty sand, with
an internal friction angle of 30, for a zinc or zincaluminium coated pipe with sealer and a safety

To encourage development of the use of selfanchoring techniques,

set out to make them
easier to install by cutting down on tedious, timeconsuming operations. This approach is illustrated
by its insert type self-anchoring devices (STANDARD
Vi, EXPRESS Vi and UNIVERSAL Vi) and doublechamber self-anchoring devices.
Customer training school

organizes training sessions on the
implementation of self-anchoring systems
through its customer training school.

Devices of this type are obtained by fitting
insert rings in specially designed sockets.
There is no need to make new weld beads if
pipes are cut.
Thanks to the performance of Vi self-anchoring
devices, there is no need to use Ve weld bead
type self-anchoring systems in the NATURAL
range DN 60 to 600, other than in exceptional
cases.
Understanding the different service

conditions
For buried water distribution and supply networks,
the choice of self-anchoring system to be used
depends on the network's working pressure and on
the test pressure applied during the site acceptance
procedure.
UNIVERSAL self-anchoring
There is no need to fit mating flanges or to
tighten bolts.
UNIVERSAL pipes and fittings are compatible
with versions Vi and Ve (provided there is a
weld bead on spigot ends).
For other cases, the mechanical operating principles

at junctions should be taken into account as well as
pressure levels. The following guidelines must be
complied with:
Insert type self-anchoring devices are not
suitable for installation by pulling. If pipe
lengths are to be pulled, bead type selfanchoring should be used.
A specific study of the support of pipelines
must be conducted, notably allowing for
network operating conditions (pressure,
hydraulic service conditions, etc.), support
techniques, support bearing points, axial load
pickup points and any other relevant data.
In the specific case of bridges, the pipeline
must be uncoupled from the structure when
it has been self-anchored. (The bridge and
the pipeline must be free to expand and
contract independently to avoid generating
supplementary stresses).
See the table on the next page for further
details
Operations performed by professionals

Owing to the extreme hydraulic thrusts they have
to withstand, self-anchored junctions are vital for
network safety. Special care must be taken when
installing self-anchoring devices and this operation
must therefore be carried out by properly trained

Some basic professional rules must be complied

with when installing self-anchoring systems:
Work in a professional manner
Before fitting self-anchoring devices, you should
make sure that all gaskets, locking ring, locking
clips, sockets and spigot ends on all components
are clean and free of foreign bodies.
Chamfers on spigot ends must comply with
the applicable general specifications to ensure
optimal fitting.
Weld beads must be visually checked for
any damage sustained during handling and
transport.
Lock the UNIVERSAL Ve and STANDARD Ve

self-anchoring devices
After fitting the self-anchored UNIVERSAL Ve
and STANDARD Ve joints, they should be locked
by the appropriate means.
Assemble in aligned position,

then apply any deflection
Friction surfaces (especially spigot end and
inside face of joint) must be lubricated with
lubricant paste. Gaskets are to be fitted
aligned with the socket centreline. Deflections
are applied afterwards. Whatever deflection is
required, avoid fitting the spigot end fully home
in the socket and comply with the fitting depth
markings painted on the spigot end.
Use
Comply with bolt tightening instructions

For systems with counter flanges and bolts,
the bolt tightening instructions specified in
installation advice sheets and leaflets must be
complied with.

Directional drilling, an innovative technique

to reduce disturbances
Buried networks have greatly increased in number
and their characteristics have progressed along
with economic development, technological
progress and demographic growth.
Pipes equipped with UNIVERSAL Ve joints and

special external coatings of the STANDARD TT (PE
and PUX) type are ideally suited to directional
drilling and in-line replacement.
Trenchless pipe-laying techniques, especially

directional drilling and in-line pipe replacement
provide an effective, targeted response when the
impacts of pipe-laying works have to be limited
The outstanding mechanical strength of

UNIVERSAL Ve joints and their great ability to
withstand angular deflection allow the pulling of
pipe lengths of several hundred metres without
any risk of joint separation. (See the table below).

ISOPAM
NATURAL PUR range

PUR range
ISOPAM pre-insulated pipelines are designed to

provide heat insulation for networks that are
especially exposed to risks of freezing. They consist
of ductile iron pipes with heat insulation fitted in
the factory. Their mechanical and leak-tightness
properties are identical to those of standard
ductile iron pipes.
NATURAL PUR ductile iron pipes with polyurethane

internal coating, as per standard EN 15655, and
corresponding fittings are to be used for the
transportation of water of the following types
only:
Pipelines can sometimes be subjected to the risks

of freezing. When required by current conditions
(low flow rate, unfavourable weather conditions,
installation above ground), pipelines have to be
insulated to minimize heat exchanges with the
offers a factory
outside environment.
pre-insulated pipe system to cater for that need.
Angular deflection
Very soft water (hardness less that 5f), combined

with long dwell times (more than 3 days) when
a standard cement mortar coating is unsuitable
(risk of increasing the water's alkalinity).
Mineral water, i.e. water whose chemical
specifications must remain unchanged between
the pipeline inlet and outlet.
The utilization of insert type self-anchoring systems
such as STANDARD Vi, EXPRESS Vi or UNIVERSAL Vi
is not recommended for the transport of water with
these characteristics. Please consult us.

Axial clearance
EN 545
For DN 100 to 600, a NATURAL PUR offering is

available for K9 class pipes with bead type selfanchoring. The performance is the same as that
for STANDARD Ve self-anchoring on pipes with
internal coatings of blast furnace cement mortar
(see page 24).
The angular deflections of ISOPAM pipelines are

different from those of non-insulated pipelines
owing to the geometric constraints imposed by
insulating their joints.
