rotating (drainage) shaft Explanation: This piece of equipment has a variety of valuable functions and are usually divided into three types: the rotating shaft (RS), the intake shaft (IS) and the absorption shaft (AS). The rotating shaft has the ability to allow construction workers to inspect the equipment to ensure working efficiently. The intake and absorption shafts allow filtering and absorption to allow the system to work even if conditions are not ideal. Most systems include the RS in their project as standard, whereas the IS and AS are only installed depending on specific conditions. The RS allows workers to perform regular observations and maintenance on the drains, this means the lifespan of the equipment increases, therefore, a replacement is less likely. Maintenance also allows the risk of something breaking to decrease, allowing constant optimum working. However, it is down to the maintenance team to decide which method they use, reactive maintenance or preventative maintenance, to how effective the system remains. They are named rotating shafts because they are installed on every second rotation of the drainage pipes, allowing easy access. They usually have 315, 425, 600 or 1,000 mm diameter, but some large-scale systems have 2m diameter shafts being used. http://gfl.uk.com/what-is-a-drainage-shaft-everything-you-ne... |
