NEW SEWER CONDITION ASSESSMENT MANUAL LAUNCHED

摘要

Research company WRc has announce the release of the 5th edition of the Manual of Sewer Condition Classification (MSCC). The 1st edition was published in 1980 to provide a national standard defect coding system. The 5th edition has been updated reflecting amendments to BS EN 13508-2 in 2011 and takes into account the move from video tape to computer storage of video data. Some of the codes relating to drains and sewers and manholes and inspection chambers have been modified and new codes specifically relating to lining observations have been introduced, in accordance with European Standard. Furthermore the change facility, which was a feature of the coding system up to the 3rd edition, has been restored as this has now been included in the European Standard.
