Repair or Replacement - Band-Aids vs. Surgery "Using RCP for the Replacement of Failed or Undersized Culverts" Our Nation’s infrastructure owners are facing challenging times. DOT and municipal owners find themselves in an environment where money is in short supply and traditional longterm funding resources are wavering and uncommitted.This document provides information to infrastructure owners about the options they have to best utilize Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) and Pre-Cast Boxes to address current and pending failures, or undersized storm drains in their existing systems.

Least Cost Analysis Pipelines, culverts, and related drainage facilities are vital components of our infrastructure. Durability and economics should be given proper consideration for transportation or drainage projects, since lower initial costs do not always result in the most economic product. This brochure will guide the decision maker in using least cost analysis to identify the product with the lowest total cost, based on the present value of all initial and future costs.

Underground Storm Water Storage Systems - The Cost Effective, Efficient Way Keep mainline pipe sizes smaller and/or utilize existing drainage when developing new areas by installing an Underground Storm Water Storage System. In areas prone to heavy rain or flash flooding, this system allows for the collection and storage of the water which can later be discharged into the system at a controlled rate. In dry areas, water can be stored for use during droughts or other times of need. Member price: $25.00 / package of 25 |

The Infrastructure is Collapsing Our infrastructure is deteriorating at an alarming rate. The recent rash of drainage system failures is cause for concern for many reasons, the least of which is major interruption to our public and private thoroughfares. Failure also raises issues of public safety and liability. The public is being hit with costs to repair these deteriorating infrastructures in the manner of taxes and fees. This brochure identifies some recent failures and the known costs of some. Member price: $45.00 / package of 25 |

Hydraulic Efficiency The hydraulic design of a drainage system involves an economic evaluation. Design engineers and owners can select the proper size drainage pipe for a specific culvert or sewer application by applying Manning's n values as design values and not laboratory values.

Standard Installations The four zones (middle bedding, outer bedding, haunch, and lower side) are shown along with installation types based on soil characteristics and levels of compaction and the material used in construction of these zones. Member price: $37.50 / package of 25 |

Flotation (Buoyancy) Comparison Buoyancy forces that affect a buried pipeline should always be a design consideration, especially in site conditions with a high probability of flotation. This brochure explains the average density of concrete pipe as compared to corrugated PE pipe. The proof is in the pictures of this brochure that show jetting or collapse of high density polyethylene culverts and the roadways because of flotation. Member price: $25.00 / package of 25 |
