Robins Air Force Base covers 6,935 acres and is Georgia’s
largest single-site industrial complex with a huge airfield. It's also home to one of Georgia’s
longest runways which is 12,000 lineal feet (LF) in length and 300 feet wide. Base improvements required a new storm sewer system was required. This system
was included in a larger design-build project.
The chosen contractor, W.L. Hailey, worked with Earth Tech
to develop the site plans and included Smooth Cor™ double wall corrugated steel
pipe (CSP) into the design of the storm sewer system. Smooth Cor™, manufactured
by Contech Engineered Solutions, is a steel-lined, polymer coated pipe which is
ideal for an air force base that required a solution which would provide the
necessary hydraulics, environmental and structural strength.
The contractor installed the Smooth Cor storm sewer system
which included 8,330 LF of 126-inch diameter, 12 GA. Smooth Cor, and an
additional 2,000 LF of 96-inch diameter Smooth Cor with numerous inline
fittings. These inline fittings saved the contractor a significant amount of
money vs. an alternative concrete option. The system included plain ended pipe
with custom foam gaskets and 2’ wide flats bands. All components of this storm drain system, including the rubber gaskets, had to be able to withstand periodic jet fuel spillages.
The system was installed successfully and provided
significant savings and time.
