Rigofill inspect System Infiltration
Product Information
This installation manual provides instructions for the
installation of infiltration systems and watertight storage
systems. The manual is applicable to Rigofill inspect modules,
which are used above the maximum groundwater level in temperate
climate zones.
The manual also emphasizes the importance of following safety
provisions in the building industry.
Product Usage Instructions
2.1 Transport and Storage
Rigofill inspect modules are delivered packed in units of four
(half blocks in units of eight) each. It is recommended to unload
the packages using forklifts, cranes, or other lifting tools that
have the necessary technical equipment for lifting gear
operation.
When handling the modules, it is important to avoid dropping,
dumping, or hitting them against each other to prevent damage.
For temporary storage, ensure that the ground is level, solid,
and clean. Do not stack packages more than two high, with a maximum
of four modules per stack, to prevent accidents. In case of a storm
risk, secure the packages and avoid stacking them if possible.
Rigofill inspect modules can be stored outside, but the storage
period should not exceed one year. To protect the material from
direct sunlight, store it in the shade or cover it with
bright-colored, light-tight foil. When transporting the modules at
the construction site, use appropriate equipment or carry them by
hand.
Before installation, carefully check the components for any
defects. It is important to note that the impact strength of the
material decreases in sub-zero temperatures. Damaged modules must
not be installed.

Rigofill inspect Installation Manual
2 Rigofill® inspect storage/infiltration module
2.1 Transport and storage
Rigofill inspect modules are delivered packed in units of four (half blocks in
units of eight) each. Preferably unload the packages using forklifts, cranes
or other lifting tools. The excavators must have the technical equipment
required for lifting gear operation. For load handling activities, use the
tunnels of the lower modules either by inserting the fork, slinging with
belts, or using other suitable load handling equipment.
CAUTION Avoid dropping, dumping and hitting Rigofill inspect modules against
each other!
Level, solid and clean ground is particularly important for temporary storage.
ATTENTION Do not stack packages more than two high, four modules each, height
2.7 m, to prevent accidents. In case of storm risk, the packages should be
secured and preferably not stacked!
Rigofill inspect can be stored outside. The storage period outside should,
however, not exceed one year. Protect the material from direct sunlight. Store
in the shade or cover with bright-coloured, light-tight foil. Transport the
modules by hand or using appropriate equipment at the construction site.
Check the components for defects before installation. The impact strength of
the material decreases in sub-zero temperatures. Damaged modules must NOT be
installed!
Weight: full block 20 kg; half block 12 kg.

2.2 Excavating pit and creating bearing
Excavate the pit according to design specifications. During excavation work,
the walls of the pit must be sloped or constructed such that they pose no
danger to the workers due to downsliding masses. Additionally, national
regulations must be observed. Measures must be taken to ensure that the
excavation pit is free from water during the entire execution time.
In order to install Rigofill inspect modules, a horizontal, level and stable
bearing is essential. To this end, create a levelling layer of approx. 10 cm,
preferably made of crushed stones or gravel (without fine fractions), on the
bottom of the excavation pit. The layer must be compacted carefully and
smoothed to achieve a level surface. The compression level Dpr should be
larger than or equal to 97 % (EV2 45 MN/m² or CBR 12 % top edge of the
bearing). If the soil has been included in the infiltration calculation, the
permeability of the compacted layer must at least correspond to the
permeability (kf value) of the backfill soil (soil groups GE, GW, SE, SW, SI).
ATTENTION The quality of the bedding is decisive for further installation and
strongly affects both bearing and setting properties of the
storage/infiltration systems, particularly in case of multiple-layer designs
and higher loads (soil and traffic loads).

2.3 Laying geotextile
Wrap the entire storage/infiltration system in RigoFlor geotextile. Before
starting to lay the modules, spread out the geotextile on the planum. The
geotextile must have sufficient lateral excess length in order to eventually
wrap up the entire system.
Important characteristics of geotextile (e.g. RigoFlor) Thickness 2 mm
Puncture resistance: 2.0 kN Geotextile class 3 Characteristic opening width
0.08 mm kf value (at 20 kPa): 6 x 10-² m/s Water permeability acc. to EN ISO
11058: 80 l/sm² Mass per unit area 200 g/m² Resistance: Anticipated resistance
of up to 50 years
in all natural soil types with 4 pH 9 and soil temperature of 25 °C (B.4.2.2,
EN ISO 13438)
ATTENTION Ensure that the geotextile surface is completely closed leaving no
gaps even during backfilling. Edges should overlap at least 50 cm.
2.4 Installing Rigofill® inspect
Rigofill inspect modules must be arranged on the planum according to design
specifications. They must be placed in a row to form swale tunnels as
intended. Installation at sub-zero temperatures requires greater care (impact
stability, please refer to the section on transport and storage).
CAUTION
Modules are slippery when wet or frosty!
ATTENTION
Half blocks must be installed with the “FRÄNKISCHE” inscription in the lower
part of the tunnel.

3.3 Rigo®Control shafts
RigoControl
RigoControl shafts are placed outside the Rigofill layout. A separate bearing
must be created in the hand pit for the shafts. In doing so, a 25 cm deep
sedimentation chamber must be taken into account. Compact the bearing and
level it to reach the required height.
The connection to the Rigofill inspect modules is established using short
connecting pipes, adapters and adapter end plates (included in the scope of
delivery). Adapter end plates (and end plates, if applicable) must be
installed in the block first. Prior to installing the connecting pipes, create
the geotextile wrapping. Cut a cross-sectional opening into the geotextile in
the area of the pipe connection. Secure the resulting geotextile triangles
with an adapter.
ATTENTION
Ensure that the geotextile surface is completely closed leaving no gaps even
during backfilling!

3.3.1 Installing extension pipes
After wrapping in geotextile and lateral backfilling have been completed (see
following sections), extension pipes must be installed. Install the coupling
onto the RigoControl shaft. Afterwards, insert the extension pipe into the
coupling. Make sure that the shafts and extension pipes are installed upright
and do not shift during compaction.
The extension pipe bodies are delivered ex works with temporary construction
site covers. Make sure that no dirt, e.g. backfill material, enters the shafts
during the construction period. Do NOT remove the respective temporary
construction site covers before installing shaft covers. Additionally protect

Do not remove the trough from the frame before later installing the cover,
since this might lead to subsequent problems with opening and closing. Make
sure that there are no foreign objects (dirt, etc.) between trough and frame
during installation. The seal glued into the frame limits the space between
frame and trough. Protect the screw heads and edges of the trough and frame
from concrete splashes if the trough shall be filled with concrete. An
installation manual is included with the product.

4 Final installation steps
4.1 Creating geotextile wrapping
Rigofill inspect systems must completely be wrapped in geotextile (e.g.
RigoFlor). QuadroControl shafts are part of the cubage of the storage/
infiltration system and must be wrapped as well. At the edges, sufficient
overlapping shall be provided (at least 50 cm) to make sure no backfill
material enters the system. Produce sand-tight pipe inlets by crossshaped
cutting of the geotextile.
ATTENTION Ensure that the geotextile surface is completely closed leaving no
gaps even during backfilling!
4.2 Lateral backfilling
Connectors secure the individual Rigofill inspect modules and prevent the
storage/infiltration module from shifting during backfilling.
Use non-cohesive, non-frozen earthwork material with a maximum grain size of
32 mm for backfilling.
Distribute the backfill material evenly and compact it in layers of max. 30 cm
using a light or medium compacting machine (area vibrator or vibratory
rammer). In doing so, a compaction level Dpr of larger than or equal to 97 %
should be achieved. The modules must NOT be damaged. National guidelines for
earthworks (such as ZTV E-StB) must be adhered to.
Make sure that the overlapping geotextile is not pulled apart during
backfilling and compacting, and that the Rigofill inspect modules are not
damaged!
The permeability of the backfill must at least correspond to the permeability
of the backfill soil.
Rigofill inspect Installation Manual 17
4 Final installation steps
4.3 Creating the cover
SLW 60 / HGV 60
The storage/infiltration system must be covered according to design
specifications. Non-cohesive, compactable graded earthwork material with a
maximum grain size of 32 mm should be used for the cover, which is a mandatory
requirement under traffic areas! Frozen soil is not permissible! Additionally,
national guidelines for earthworks (such as ZTV E-StB) apply here as well.
Stability analysis
Storage/infiltration systems are subsoil structures and must have sufficient
loadcarrying capacity against impacting soil and traffic loads. The stability
must be proven according to Eurocode, taking into account partial safety
factors and/or limiting factors. With conventional installation parameters,
depths of cover of DC max. 4 m and soil depths of DS max. 6 m are possible for
infiltration systems. A project-specific stability analysis can be prepared by
FRÄNKISCHE. Under traffic areas, a minimum cover DC of 80 cm must be observed.
HGV 60; specific weight of soil 18 kN/m³; friction angle 28°; = 0.3; mean soil temperature 23 °C
ATTENTION
Note for HGW over structure soil: Rigofill inspect systems, which are used as
watertight storage systems with impermeable membranes, have been designed for
application above the highest groundwater level (HGW). Use in groundwater is
possible under corresponding technical conditions after consultation with
FRÄNKISCHE. Please contact us!

a cover must be provided, preferably a gravel sub-base with a thickness of at
least 35 cm. Other construction materials normally lead to greater depths of
cover.
Generally, at the surface of the cover (= planum), a uniform modulus of
deformation EV2 larger than or equal to 45 MN/m² or CBR larger than or equal
to 12 % must be achieved.
Soil layers must always be provided and compacted in layers of no more that 30
cm. The compaction level Dpr should be larger than or equal to 97 %.
Compacting must be carried out by means of light or medium area vibrators
only!

4.4 Use of construction vehicles during installation
Use of vehicles when applying the first cover layer The first cover layer can
be applied, for example, using a wheel loader or a front-type mobile
excavator. For a wheel loader or mobile excavator with a maximum total weight
of 15 tons (chain, 4 wheels, twin-tyres), a compacted cover of at least 30 cm
must be placed over the storage/infiltration system. Possible formation of
ruts must be taken into account! Avoid steering manoeuvres at this
construction stage.
Use of construction vehicles Driving over the cover with heavy construction
vehicles with a wheel load of up to 50 kN (e.g. HGV 30) is possible if the
thickness of the compacted cover is no less than 60 cm. Possible formation of
ruts must be taken into account! When dumping the earthwork material, the
wheel load of 50 kN must not be exceeded; if necessary, load distribution
plates must be used.
CAUTION It is not allowed to use construction vehicles directly on the
modules!
5 Note for waterproof systems
When using Rigofill inspect for stormwater storage, the system can be wrapped
in impermeable plastic foil (KDB). Besides this installation manual, also
observe the manufacturer’s specifications when installing the impermeable
plastic foil (KDB). In addition to the static verification, uplift
verification is required in case of groundwater. Dewatering measures are to be
checked and, if necessary, provided during construction in order to prevent
upwards floating of watertight systems if these are not yet sufficiently
covered. Follow the steps described in this manual to install the modules.
Install and weld the impermeable membrane and execute the impermeability test
of individual weld seams according to the instructions of the
manufacturer/installer.
