Introduction
Drain and sewer systems are part of the overall wastewater system that provides a service to the
community. This can be briefly described as:
— removal of wastewater from premises for public health and hygienic reasons;
— prevention of flooding in urbanized areas;
— protection of the environment.
The overall wastewater system has four successive functions:
— collection;
— transport;
— treatment;
— discharge.
Wastewater can, if necessary after treatment, be discharged to the environment or reused.
Collection and transport of wastewater is provided by drain and sewer systems.
Drain and sewer systems were installed because there was a need to remove the polluted water to
prevent diseases.
Traditionally, drain and sewer systems were constructed to collect and transport all types of
wastewater together irrespective of the initial source. This led to difficulties in handling the peak flows
in times of heavy rainfall and to the introduction of combined sewer overflows, which discharged
polluted water to surface receiving water bodies.
It was later recognized that separate systems, where foul wastewater was kept separate from runoff
derived from surface water, would be an improvement over such combined systems.
Although many drain and sewer systems started out as combined systems there are strong arguments
for considering the separation of foul wastewater and surface water. The pollutant effects are not the
same and the separation of effluents allows for the different treatment for each element of wastewater,
providing more environmentally friendly solutions.
This concept is included in the approach of integrated sewer management.
This document provides a framework for the design, construction, maintenance, operation and
rehabilitation of drain and sewer systems outside buildings. This is illustrated in the upper part of the
diagram in Figure 1. This document is supported by more detailed standards for the investigation,
design, construction, organization and control of drain and sewer systems.
Investigation and assessment standards include:
— EN 13508 (all parts), Investigation and assessment of drain and sewer systems outside buildings.
Design and construction standards include:
— EN 16932 (all parts), Drain and sewer systems outside buildings — Pumping systems;
— EN 16933-2, Drain and sewer systems outside buildings — Design — Part 2: Hydraulic design;
— EN 1295 (all parts), Structural design of buried pipelines under various conditions of loading;

4 General
EN 752:2017, Clause 6, outlines the process for preparation and implementation of an integrated drain
and sewer system management plan which includes, at a strategic level, a plan for new developments,
the operation and maintenance, and rehabilitation of the drain and sewer system and for contingency
and emergency planning.
This document sets out a process for implementing the proposals in the integrated drain and sewer
system management plan. The process is based on a staged application of the process outlined in
Figure 2.
Figure 2 —The integrated sewer system management process (based on EN 752:2017, Figure 5)
The integrated sewer system management process is applied successively to develop programmes
based on the integrated sewer system management plan. The programme outlines a series of projects to
implement the plan. Following this, the integrated sewer system management process is then used to
produce a detailed specification for each of these projects in the programme. Finally, following the
implementation of each project, the programme and the integrated sewer system management plan are
reviewed and updated where necessary. The performance requirements for the rehabilitated systems
should be in accordance with EN 752:2017, 5.2. At each stage further investigation and assessment is
carried out in accordance with EN 13508-1.
NOTE In this document “project” refers both to discrete projects and continuous activities.

5 Integrated Sewer System Management Planning
Prior to implementation of any activities or design of any works EN 752:2017 recommends that an
Integrated Sewer System Management Plan is prepared in accordance with EN 752:2017, Clause 6, for
the drain and sewer system to achieve the performance requirements in accordance with EN 752:2017,
Clause 5. However, this is not always possible if activities are required urgently (e.g. in response to a
drain or sewer failure).
The detailed plan does not include detailed descriptions of the solutions. It includes only general
descriptions of the approaches to be taken.
The aims of the programmes of activities should be based on the relevant detailed plans in the
integrated sewer system management plan.
6 Preparation of programme
6.1 Introduction
The plan does not generally contain the necessary detail to proceed directly to the production of the
project specification. The programme defines a series of projects, in line with the plan, to ensure that
the drain and sewer system meets the performance requirements. The programme should define the
objectives for each project in sufficient detail so that a project specification can then be produced in
accordance with Clause 7.
The preparation of the programme involves:
a) review of the plan (see 6.2) to ensure it is still current and to establish what further investigation is
required to develop the programme;
b) further investigation (see 6.3) to provide the information necessary for the more detailed
assessment;
c) more detailed assessment (see 6.4) to identify further detail of the performance deficiencies that
the programme aims to address;
d) preparation of the programme (see 6.5) setting the scope and objectives for each of the projects.
All stages of the preparation of the programme shall take account of the health and safety principles set
out in EN 752:2017, Clause 7.
6.2 Review of the plan
A review should be undertaken of the relevant aspects of the integrated sewer system management
plan.

4 General
EN 752:2017, Clause 6, outlines the process for preparation and implementation of an integrated drain
and sewer system management plan which includes, at a strategic level, a plan for new developments,
the operation and maintenance, and rehabilitation of the drain and sewer system and for contingency
and emergency planning.
This document sets out a process for implementing the proposals in the integrated drain and sewer
system management plan. The process is based on a staged application of the process outlined in
Figure 2.

Figure 2 —The integrated sewer system management process (based on EN 752:2017, Figure 5)
The integrated sewer system management process is applied successively to develop programmes
based on the integrated sewer system management plan. The programme outlines a series of projects,
to implement the plan. Following this, the integrated sewer system management process is then used to
produce a detailed specification for each of these projects in the programme. Finally, following the
implementation of each project, the programme and the integrated sewer system management plan are
reviewed and updated where necessary. The performance requirements for the rehabilitated systems
should be in accordance with EN 752:2017, 5.2. At each stage further investigation and assessment is
carried out in accordance with EN 13508-1.
NOTE In this document “project” refers both to discrete projects and continuous activities.

5 Integrated Sewer System Management Planning
Prior to implementation of any activities or design of any works EN 752:2017 recommends that an
Integrated Sewer System Management Plan is prepared in accordance with EN 752:2017, Clause 6, for
the drain and sewer system to achieve the performance requirements in accordance with EN 752:2017,
Clause 5. However, this is not always possible if activities are required urgently (e.g. in response to a
drain or sewer failure).
The detailed plan does not include detailed descriptions of the solutions. It includes only general
descriptions of the approaches to be taken.
The aims of the programmes of activities should be based on the relevant detailed plans in the
integrated sewer system management plan.
6 Preparation of programme
6.1 Introduction
The plan does not generally contain the necessary detail to proceed directly to the production of the
project specification. The programme defines a series of projects, in line with the plan, to ensure that
the drain and sewer system meets the performance requirements. The programme should define the
objectives for each project in sufficient detail so that a project specification can then be produced in
accordance with Clause 7.
The preparation of the programme involves:
a) review of the plan (see 6.2) to ensure it is still current and to establish what further investigation is
required to develop the programme;
b) further investigation (see 6.3) to provide the information necessary for the more detailed
assessment;
c) more detailed assessment (see 6.4) to identify further detail of the performance deficiencies that
the programme aims to address;
d) preparation of the programme (see 6.5) setting the scope and objectives for each of the projects.
All stages of the preparation of the programme shall take account of the health and safety principles set
out in EN 752:2017, Clause 7.
6.2 Review of the plan
A review should be undertaken of the relevant aspects of the integrated sewer system management
plan.
This should include:
a) ensuring the performance requirements used in the preparation of the integrated sewer system
management plan are still current;
b) checking that any assumptions regarding projected timescales included in the plan for new
developments or other changes to the sewer system are still valid;
c) identifying where further investigation and assessment is required in order to develop the
programme of works.
If there have been any changes then the plan should be updated.

6.3 Investigation
The investigation of the drain and sewer system shall be carried out in accordance with EN 752:2017,
Clause 6, and EN 13508-1:2012, Clause 5. Details of investigation techniques for existing drains and
sewers are described in EN 13508-1:2012.
The scope of the investigations necessary to produce the programme will depend on the extent of the
investigations carried out during the preparation of the integrated sewer system management plan.
Investigations shall be carried out where further information is required in order to produce the
programme.
The types of investigations relevant to each type of activity are listed in the various later parts of this
series of standards.
6.4 Assessment
The performance of the drain or sewer systems shall be assessed in accordance with EN 13508-1:2012,
Clause 6, using the results of the investigation (see 6.3). The assessments carried out during the
preparation of the plan should be reviewed and updated in the light of any new information identified
during the investigations. The performance at each planning horizon shall be compared to the
performance requirements to identify the needs for work.
The assessment should identify the location of those components of the drains and sewer system where
activities are to be proposed. The individual pipeline sections and other components shall be described
with the existing information, in order to optimize the programme.
This analysis is carried out using available information including the results of the specific
investigations carried out to develop the programme (see 6.3).
The results of the assessment should be checked with the assessment made during the production of
the integrated sewer system management plan and if there are significant differences the plan should
be reviewed to ensure that it is still valid.
The types of assessment relevant to each type of activity are listed in the various later parts of this
series of standards.
6.5 Develop the programme
6.5.1 Introduction
The programme comprises a number of projects which together shall meet the objectives. The
programme shall define the scope and objectives of each project in the programme. The programme
should include the phasing of the projects including the relationship to any external constraints such as
budgets, new developments, and interactions with other utility or development programmes (e.g.
highway works). The programme shall take account of the safety principles in EN 752:2017, Clause 7.
The programme should specify the classes of solutions to be adopted.
The process of developing the programme is summarized in Figure 4 below.

Figure 4 — The solution development process
6.5.2 Specification of objectives
Specific objectives should be established for each project in the programme in accordance with the aims
(see Clause 5). These should be expressed as a performance requirement.
Guidance on establishing objectives for each specific type of activity can be found in later parts of this
series of standards.
6.5.3 Developing options
To meet the objectives, detailed solutions should be developed in accordance with any current plan for
the catchment area. Within this framework a number of feasible options should be developed.
The options can include:
a) Pro-active approaches to reduce the likelihood of performance failures occurring; or
b) Reactive approaches responding to performance failures when they occur. These can include
follow-up activities to prevent further occurrence of the same failure in that location.
Where appropriate the options should include solutions that address a number of problems.
Guidance on developing options for each specific types of activity can be found in later parts of this
series of standards.
6.5.4 Assess feasibility of solutions
The options developed in 6.5.3 should first be assessed to establish the extent to which they will meet
the objectives and minimum performance requirements, and whether it would be feasible to implement
them.
All options that meet the minimum performance requirements and that are technically feasible to
implement should be taken forward to the next stage.
6.5.5 Select optimum solution
The selection of the most appropriate option shall then take account of a wide range of costs and
benefits of each of the options. These should take account of the extent (if any) to which any option
12

oSIST prEN 14654-1:2019
prEN 14654-1:2019 (E)
would result in the drain or sewer system achieving more than the minimum performance
requirements or providing additional capacity beyond that currently anticipated.
Criteria for assessing the costs and benefits of different options in order to select the optimum solution
are given in EN 752:2017, 6.4.3.
6.5.6 Producing the programme
The programme should contain the description of a number of defined projects that are within the
framework of the integrated sewer system management plan.
The programme should contain the following information for each project:
a) the objectives including the relevant performance requirements or performance criteria that are to
be achieved on successful completion of the project (see 6.5.2);
b) the activities to be carried out and the approach to be adopted;
c) the estimated costs of carrying out the activities;
d) the phasing of the activities;
e) the priorities of the activities;
f) the relationships to other activities;
g) any legal requirements or permits required to implement the project, including any timescales
specified;
h) the social impact of works on people living in proximity.
Specific guidance on producing programmes for each specific types of activity can be found in later
parts of this series of standards.
