The concrete swamped socket is assembled while works connected to pouring concrete on floors, posts etc. are performed. The socket shall be positioned vertically (46 cm depth) and the total height of the socket is 50 cm. After finishing that operation, the socket shall be capped with the cap provided. The cap protects the inside of the socket and secures it from mortar getting in (as well as other pollutants) that could prevent workers from using the socket.

Ø10 and ~16 cm deep holes shall be drilled in the surface. The surface where the drilling is performed shall provide minimum strength of Q=10 kN and the minimum depth shall be 10 cm. Assembly the socket to the surface with screws using a screwdriver. The number of screws in the bottom part of the side socket is optional, the required number of screws is 2. Additional holes are optional in case of problems with the assembly in the neighbouring hole (e.g. reinforcement bar).

4. HOME P a g e | 4 1.2 LIFELINE POLE THE LIFELINE POLE is used to attach a lifeline (anchoring line) at the height from 159 to 210 cm. THE LIFELINE POLE was designed in accordance with the EN-795_2012E standard which requires the system elements to be not heavier than 25 kg. The modular construction of the system consists of separate parts and provides mobility and operating comfort while changing the place of performing constructional works. THE LIFELINE POLE is a universal element which may be used in connection with other elements of the system, i.e. SIDE SOCKET, ANCHORED SOCKET, CONCRETE SWAMPED SOCKET.

The C ONCRETE SWAMPED SOCKET during the concrete pouring process o n a building’s elements, i.e. floors, columns etc. The distribution of sockets can be planned at the investment stage what makes it easier to take advantage of the system capabilities, i.e. the ease of transporting the FALL ARREST DEVICE . The concrete swamped socket can be used in columns, walls and floors containing reinforcement (bars etc.) In order to provide sufficient strength for the socket , the concrete strength shall be assessed on the basis of the number of days since it was poured, the temperature and humidity. It is the site manager or another competent person’s responsibility to determine the required strength. Material:........................ Crude steel Weight ........................... 1,5 kg Height: ........................... 0.5 m Diameter ....................... 89 mm Works with: Lifeline pole, Sockets plumbing device. 1.3 B STRENGTH PARAMETERS OF THE POLES TO THE CONCRETE SWAMPED SOCKETS T HE CONCRETE SWAMPED SOCKET is assembled in concrete and has to be able to bear loads resulting from the requirements of the EN-795:2012 standard which describe the method of assessing the static and dynamic loads of the gallows. Those loads are 6 kN – axial thrust on the central pole of the gallows, and 12 kN – bending moment of the central pole. Checking the load capacity of the anchoring point of the gallows or the lifeline pole is the sole responsibility of the site manager or the object constructor. Strumin defines only the parameters of the forces At the anchoring point that appear during the operation of the gallows/lifeline pole and in case of an event which led to saving a worker from fall. The technical parameters, i.e. the type and class of the reinforcement used in a given case and the type and class of the concrete used are unknown to the system's manufacturer and thus the possibility to use the system shall be verified by the site manager or the object constructor. F = 6 kN M = 12 kN
