Introduction
The test described in this document is adjusted from a standardized test method for plastic pipes to the
characteristics of push-in joints for ductile iron pipe systems.
The undesired penetration of tree roots into push-in joints
— causes obstacles to flow with the resulting risks of blockages and backing-up;
— causes leakage in sewage systems with the hazards to the soil and groundwater which this entails;
— leads to high, recurring costs for root removal;
— needs the replacement or renovation of the affected section of sewage or drainage system.
In this case, even after replacement or renovation, the cause often remains in effect – namely the close
proximity of the tree with the route of the drainage and sewage system. Therefore, root-resistant pipe
systems should be used when laying new drainage and sewage systems and replacing existing ones.
1 Scope
