5 Safety requirements and/or protective measures
5.1 General
Diaphragm walling equipment shall comply with the requirements of !EN 16228-
1:2014+A1:2021" except as modified or replaced by the requirements of this part of the standard.
!For the compatibility between the diaphragm walling equipment and the carrier machine, see
5.9."
5.2 Requirements for strength and stability
5.2.1 General
Subclause 5.2 of !EN 16228-1:2014+A1:2021" applies with the following additions:
5.2.2 Loads from diaphragm wall cutting tools
When calculating stability in accordance with !EN 16228-1:2014+A1:2021" the following shall be
taken into account:
— weight of the diaphragm wall cutting tools (including any hose and cable handling system and their
mounts);
— weight of the excavated material, slurry or suspension materials and any material adhering to the
tool;
— loads applied to the tools during tool extraction;
— all loads induced by rope suspended components are acting at the point where the rope is leaving
the upper pulley.
5.2.3 Stability of diaphragm walling rig
5.2.3.1 General
Diaphragm walling equipment can have diaphragm wall cutting tools either rope suspended or guided
by frames or kelly bars rigidly connected to the carrier machine.
In both cases a general method for calculating stability shall be used, see 5.2.3.2 below.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST EN 16228-5:2014+A1:2022
EN 16228-5:2014+A1:2021 (E)
For rope suspended cutting tools, a simplified method for calculating stability may be used, see 5.2.3.3
below which differs from subclause 5.2.3 of !EN 16228-1:2014+A1:2021".
The simplified method ensures the equipment is stable only when the working platform is horizontal.
Therefore it cannot be used when working on slopes and travelling.
5.2.3.2 General method for calculating stability
The required stability angle as mentioned in 5.2.3.5 of !EN 16228-1:2014+A1:2021" shall be as
stated in Table 2 below:
Table 2 — Required stability angle, dynamic influences included
 Stability class NC Stability class SC
(normal conditions) (special conditions)
Travelling 8 degrees 5 degrees + β (see c) below)
Operating and tramming 5 degrees a
2,5 degrees + β (see c) below)
Recovery 3,5 degrees 1 degree + β (see c) below)
a
A static stability angle of 5 degrees + β (see c) below) calculated without dynamic accelerations and
wind loads is also required.
NC and SC are the stability classes (see explanations below).
Use of stability class NC is recommended.
The manufacturer may use stability class SC provided that all of the following conditions are fulfilled:
a) The ground shall support the machine and can reliably withstand the supporting forces, without
significant unintended displacements or taking into account their affect on stability (support by, e.g.
timber plates, steel plates and/or improved ground surface may be required). This shall also be
shown in the case, if supports (those not causing rigid body movement) become unloaded and thus
cause maximum forces at other supports.
b) Masses of relevant parts of the machine shall be evaluated by weighing with an accuracy of ± 2,5 %.
c) When using tipping line 1 as defined in Figure 1 of !EN 16228-1:2014+A1:2021" the required
tipping angle shall be increased by β.
d) Hoist speed is not greater than 10 m/min.
e) No free fall winch mode is used.
f) Freely suspended loads are secured when travelling and tramming, in order to avoid swinging.
5.2.3.3 Simplified method for calculating stability
The calculation of stability shall be done in the most unfavourable position of track orientation and at
the maximum operating radius on the horizontal platform.
The sum of all overturning moments shall not exceed 75 % of the sum of all stabilizing moments, where
the stabilizing and tipping moments include:
— the base machine alone, its tipping moment is given by the load chart for the actual boom
configuration. The safety percentage given by the manufacturer has to be converted to 100 % in
order to get of limit tipping moment;
10

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
SIST EN 16228-5:2014+A1:2022
EN 16228-5:2014+A1:2021 (E)
— additional equipment permanently mounted to the carrier machine, e.g. power pack, guiding
system, hose reels, special boom head, walkways, etc. Moments are calculated with the load at the
distance of the tipping line.
When using a rope suspended grab:
— the moment induced by the weight of the rope suspended part multiplied by 1,25 (excavating tool,
3
with clamshells full of soil of specific weight = 20 kN/m ).
When using a rope suspended cutter:
— moment induced by the weight of the cutter with full hydraulic hoses;
— moment induced by the weight of mud hose. Depending on the configuration of mud circuit
(suspended on the boom or hose reel at the back of the machine) the mud weight can create tipping
or stabilizing moments. So the stability has to be calculated with full and/or empty mud hose;
3
— minimum specific weight of mud = 12,5 kN/m .
5.3 Winches and pulleys
Subclauses 5.8.2 and 5.8.3 of !EN 16228-1:2014+A1:2021" apply with following additions and/or
modifications:
For working ropes used to lift cutting tools only, the minimum factor of safety (minimum breaking load,
guaranteed by the manufacturer, in relation to the maximum static load on the rope caused by the
winch line pull in the first layer) shall be 2,5.
Diameters of sheaves and drums used to lift the excavation tools only shall meet the following minimum
requirements:
winch drum pitch: 16,0 d
sheave pitch: 16,0 d
compensation pulley: 14,0 d
where d is the diameter of the rope.
!deleted text"
5.4 Control devices
5.4.1 General
Subclause 5.16 of !EN 16228-1:2014+A1:2021" applies with the additions of 5.4.2 and 5.4.3:
5.4.2 Control of the diaphragm walling rig equipped with cutter
During operation, the diaphragm wall cutter shall be controlled from the diaphragm walling rig
operator’s position.
Diaphragm walling rigs shall be designed and equipped with a remote control for providing slow
rotation speed and to give the operator/maintenance staff clear view of a cutter during maintenance
tasks and assembly/dismantling.
!Freefall mode shall be prevented on the winches of the diaphragm walling rigs fitted with
diaphragm wall cutter as defined in 3.6 (e.g. by a key-operated control)."

5.4.3 Control of winches for suspending grabs or cutters when changing ropes
!There shall be a control station adjacent or close to each winch with a full view to the winch (e.g.
remote control).
The mode for changing ropes shall be activated by a lockable mode selector.
In this mode, the maximum rotation speed shall be limited to 2 rpm.
It shall not be possible to operate more than one winch at the same time. This control shall be of hold-
to-run type.
From the control station for this mode, it shall be possible to have a view to the winch and the person
guiding the rope for handling and communication.
Controls (for use in this mode) shall either be located close to the winches involved and allow full
visibility of the winches or on a remote device that will allow only operation of the winches. Enabling of
a remote control shall be done at the operator station and can be combined with the mode selector
function.
It shall not be possible for the normal winch controls at the operator station to operate the winches
whilst the mode for changing ropes is activated."
5.4.4 !Free fall operation
5.4.4.1 General
Diaphragm walling equipment designed for free fall operation shall comply with 5.4.4.2 to 5.4.4.5.
5.4.4.2 Common requirements for free fall operation
The free-fall system shall be designed that an uncontrolled run-up or run-off of the rope is avoided, e.g.
by a rope guide.
There shall be a specific lockable selector (e.g. could be integrated in the mode selector) to
enable/disable the free-fall operation.
There may be one selector for all winches or one selector per winch.
The design of the free-fall system may provide different types of operation (automatic/manual) as well
as different types of deactivation (automatic/manual) and triggering (automatic/manual) as described
in 5.4.4.3 to 5.4.4.5.
These different types shall be selected either by a separate control or by the lockable free-fall operation
selector.
The selected type shall be indicated at the operator´s station.
5.4.4.3 Free fall brake
The winch shall be fitted with a free fall brake.
The use of the main winch disconnecting system shall only be possible when the free-fall function is
activated.
The free fall brake shall be designed that the deceleration of a dynamic load shall be possible.
A proportional actuation of the free-fall brake shall be possible.
5.4.4.4 Manual free-fall operation
5.4.4.4.1 General
Manual free-fall operation shall only be possible for following conditions:
