Continuing to address some of the recently asked questions regarding reline, I wanted to respond to a few other questions that may warrant a little more time and attention. I hope these responses prove helpful and aid in your next reline/rehabilitation project opportunity. Should you have any other questions on the reline process, please reach out to us!

A Response to Frequently Asked Reline Grouting Questions

In the smash hit 1987 film, The Princess Bride, Princess Buttercup violently pushes her beloved Westley down an endlessly sloped hillside. We know what you’re thinking: “Could a corrugated metal pipe possibly be placed underneath such a sloped hill? Inconceivable!” This question has plagued men and women alike since the invention of corrugated steel pipe. Thankfully, AASHTO and ASTM have spelled out a solution for us all. And that solution, my friends, is graphically depicted below, which will be elaborated on…

A-2000™ PVC has been on the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Optional Material for 100-year design life since 2003 and has been used for years in Florida and across the country as a direct equivalent to reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) in most storm sewer applications.

Contech Slotted Drain™ is used effectively to intercept storm water runoff from wide, flat areas such as parking lots, municipal streets, highways, and airport runways and taxiways. In these installations, the slotted drain is placed transverse to the direction of storm water flow or snow melt runoff. The open grate intercepts all the flow uniformly along the entire length of the drain.

Projects have many phases to them throughout their lifespan from the time of their initial conception until their completion. They may span months or even years over the course of the design, permitting, procurement, installation, and inspection work that is associated with the project. Great attention is paid to ensure that each facet of the project is carried out in an accurate, timely, and cost-effective manner. Once final approval and payment is made, we often consider it “case closed” and move on to other work.

As engineers in the pipe industry, we see the results of a lot of pipe projects. Fortunately, the vast majority of the installations are successful and result

Over the past 12 months, the entire construction industry has experienced unprecedented raw material increases in both underground piping and vertical building.

Being in the wastewater industry, I felt an unexpected sense of pride when my 5-year-old daughter asked me about “poo” as she sat in her car seat on the way to
