In this discussion we will consider all the various components of a good storm pipe specification. Good specifications and details are good for the owner, engineer, contractor, and even the end users. We will discuss how to minimize risk as well as minimize the lifetime costs during the pipe material selection specification process.

This class discusses the possibility of flotation of buried drainage pipe systems. I will be providing information about why this is a timely subject. Buoyancy will be explained and how it can affect buried pipelines. Two accepted methods of accounting for buoyant forces in pipeline designs including factors of safety will be presented. Finally, I will provide some example situations.

Learn the fundamentals of concrete pipe while gaining a better understand of the manufacturing, installation, and inspection process.
