EN 16228-5:2014/FprA1

Drilling and foundation equipment - Safety - Part 5: Diaphragm walling equipment

This European Standard, together with part 1, deals with all significant hazards for diaphragm walling equipment when they are used as intended and under the conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer associated with the whole life time of the machine (see Clause 4).
The requirements of this part are complementary to the common requirements formulated in EN 16228-1:2014.
This document does not repeat the requirements from EN 16228-1, but adds or replaces the requirements for application for diaphragm walling equipment.

Overview

EN 16228-5:2014/FprA1 is a European standard developed by CEN focusing on the safety of diaphragm walling equipment used in drilling and foundation work. This standard is a supplement to EN 16228-1:2014 and addresses the specific hazards and safety requirements associated with diaphragm walling machines throughout their entire lifecycle, including reasonable misuse scenarios anticipated by manufacturers. It ensures that the equipment meets rigorous safety criteria to protect operators and site personnel during use.

The document applies to equipment used in the construction and foundation sector, particularly machinery for creating diaphragm walls-critical structural elements in underground construction and excavation.

Key Topics

• Hazard Identification and Risk Management: The standard expands on mechanical hazards typical for diaphragm walling rigs, including mechanical strength inadequacies, the risk of overturning or roll-over, failures in pulley and drum design, rope selection issues, and the ejection of cutter teeth.
• Mechanical Safety Requirements: It outlines controls to prevent hazards such as crushing, shearing, drawing-in, and entanglement while handling grabs or milling cutters.
• Control Systems for Safety: Specific provisions address safe operation of winches, including lockable mode selectors and hold-to-run control types that limit rotation speed during rope changing, preventing accidental operation of multiple winches simultaneously.
• Free Fall Function Controls: Safety measures mandate that free fall modes on winches must include either automatic or manual deactivation, with activation requiring simultaneous actuation of two independent controls to avoid accidental releases.
• Operating and Travel Positions: Guidelines ensure machines are configured to prevent tipping or roll-over during tramming and operation. Compliance options include adherence to referenced standards such as EN 16228-1, EN 16228-4, and other related machine safety standards.
• Verification of Safety Requirements: The standard details requirements for testing and verifying compliance with protective measures, including newly added clauses around operating positions and slewing brakes.

Applications

• Construction and Civil Engineering: Ensuring safe operation of diaphragm walling rigs in large-scale underground construction projects such as tunnels, deep basements, and retaining walls.
• Foundation Engineering: Use by contractors and manufacturers involved in foundation equipment design, manufacturing, and site deployment to meet European safety regulations.
• Equipment Manufacturers: Provides design specifications and testing protocols to meet regulatory compliance for safety features on diaphragm walling machines.
• Site Safety Managers and Engineers: Helps in hazard identification, risk mitigation, and operator training focused on diaphragm walling equipment safety.
• Regulatory Compliance: Supports conformity assessment for EU machinery directives by defining essential safety requirements.

Practical Value

By implementing EN 16228-5:2014/FprA1, manufacturers and users can minimize equipment-related accidents, improve operator safety, and ensure compliance with European health and safety directives. This standard enhances operational safety by addressing unique mechanical risks and operational conditions specific to diaphragm walling machinery, contributing to safer foundation construction environments.
