German term or phrase: Haltung
" Im Auftrag des Gewässerschutzverbands der XXX erarbeitet YYY das Entwässerungskonzept für den generellen Entwässerungsplan. Die von den 14 Verbandsgemeinden erhobenen GEP-Daten umfassen über 42 000 Teileinzugsgebiete, 170 Sonderbauwerkskomponenten und 26 000 ***Haltungen***."

(pipeline/sewer) section
Explanation:
See the definitions at https://www.uhrig-bau.eu/lexikon/haltung and https://www.uhrig-bau.eu/lexikon/sonderbauwerke

Rather than to individual pipes, "Haltungen" thus refers to the pipeline/sewer sections/stretches connecting the individual manholes and/or other civil structures (the "Sonderbauwerke" including, for instance, stormwater retention basins/reservoirs, overflow chambers, and pumping stations).

neutral  philgoddard: You haven't given any references, so I assume this is a guess.
2 hrs
  -> An educated guess based purely on the context;
neutral  Steffen Walter: Question is if this refers to individual pipes or to pipeline/sewer sections/stretches between the individual manholes or other structures. I'd assume the latter - see https://www.uhrig-bau.eu/lexikon/haltung ("Haltung" is short for "Kanalhaltung").
5 hrs
  -> Yes, thanks Stefan; pipes, pipework, piping, pipe sections, something on those lines.

disagree  Steffen Walter: Not manholes or culverts because the former would be "Schächte" (not "Haltungen"), whereas the latter would be "Sonderbauwerke". See the definitions at https://www.uhrig-bau.eu/lexikon/haltung and https://www.uhrig-bau.eu/lexikon/sonderbauwerke
