(pipeline/sewer) section

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).
Peer comment(s):
neutral Andrew Bramhall : Except that 'pipelines' always refer to the supplying or approvisioning of fuels of one sort or another, and not to water;

No, not at all. See usage at https://www.murphygroup.com/projects/harrowside-storm-water-... and https://fpmccann.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Drainage_W... (pp. 10, 12, 13 ...) (and many other native English examples).

Pipes

On behalf of the Water Protection Association of XXX, YYY is developing a drainage concept as part of the overall general drainage plan. The GEP data collected from the 14 association municipalities include over 42,000 sub-catchment areas, 170 special structure components and 26,000 pipes."
Peer comment(s):
neutral philgoddard : You haven't given any references, so I assume this is a guess.

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").

Yes, thanks Stefan; pipes, pipework, piping, pipe sections, something on those lines.

pipe connections / culverts / manhole

The connecting section between two openings, whether the openings be manholes, sewer openings, etc.

Peer comment(s):
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

Thank you for the feedback! Greatly appreciated...
neutral Andrew Bramhall : Don't see how culverts or manholes would fit here;
