We will cover Direct and Indirect design criteria for reinforced concrete pipe. This will include explanation of the soils, burial depths, trench widths, and how they impact the load applied to the pipe. This will include practical exercises using the Fill Height Tables to complete an indirect design for concrete pipe.
There are a number of similarities and differences in the requirements for proper installation of reinforced concrete pipe and thermoplastic pipe products. This class provides a side by side comparison of ASTM C1479 and ASTM D2321 for installation of these products. This class will provide you with the knowledge to build project specifications, to obtain the installation results your clients need.
What does it mean to your community when you reference installation standard for pipes under your roadways? Join us for review of the best practices of proper pipe installation. During this presentation we will cover bedding and backfill options, use of Fill Height Tables and various site conditions. Empower your inspectors with this knowledge. Empower your culvert installation crews with proper installation practices and decrease your maintenance cost.
It is in the owner’s best interest to know that all pipes in their system have been properly installed and were not damaged in such a way to compromise the pipe system. Post Installation Inspection (PII) provides the owner the information needed to determine whether proper installation occurred prior to project close-out or final acceptance.
Does creativity interest you? A precast box culvert provides the basis for creativity. Join us for fundamental box culvert design and installation practices. Provide your engineer staff with competitive options for design/bidding. We documented the installation process in order to show you the proper techniques for installing precast box culverts. Provide your drainage crews and inspectors with a valuable skill while saving your community money.
A growing segment of pipe installation includes trenchless applications. They are less disruptive to traffic, communities, utilities and businesses. Trenchless installation is environmentally friendly and results in more economical pipe designs. It is important to know this competitive option. As our nation’s infrastructure approaches its service life, trenchless applications will become another option.
Take a walk with us through the precast manhole process from design to installation. Learn how you can reduce project cost through the use of Value Engineering on prefabricated Tee’s, bends, and other precast structures. The better you understand the precast manhole process, the greater the savings you create for your city, county and/or customer.
Join us for a tour of our Bay City, Lansing, Grand Rapids or Clarkston manufacturing plants. These tours will give you a better understanding of the quality standards precast products are manufactured to. You will come away from a tour with a better understanding of our manufacturing capabilities and quality standards.
