Installing a Raw Water Line by Microtunneling
Construction began in 1991 on a new water treatment plan for the Towns of Cary and Apex, with B. Everett Jordan Lake as a water source. Installation of two 1,400 mm raw water lines approximately...
The Ivie Pipeline Delivering Water to West Texas
The Ivie Pipeline is a $76,000,000 - 156-mile long water pipeline being constructed in West Texas. This paper describes highlights of the planning, design, and construction phase....
Evaluation of a Proprietary Tape Coating Alternative for the 157 Mile Ivie Pipeline
A two part evaluation of alternative protective coating systems for the 157 mile Ivie pipeline was made. In Part I, an evaluation was made on the suitability of a proprietary tape coating...
An Evaluation of Fiberglass Pipe Made by Three Different Manufacturing Processes for use in Water Transmission Projects
Fiberglass pipe is made primarily using continuous filament wound process, discontinuous helical filament wound process, and centrifugal cast process. Some 40 countries around the world...
Selection and use of Pipeline Leak Detection Methods for Liability Management into the 21st Century
Pipeline leak detection systems have been in use for many years on all types of pipelines with various products being transported. Pipeline owners and operators are subject to stringent...
Analysis of Pavement-Pipeline Systems After Cut Restoration
The placement of utility pipes normally necessitates many cuts and fills of the existing pavements. Integrity of pipeline and compatible performance of cut restoration and original pavement...
Gas Pipeline Fitness-for-Service Investigation
A delta reclamation district's plan to add significant fill on their levee caused great concern for the integrity of a critical PG&E 22-inch (559 mm) gas transmission line which...
Pipelines Crossing Highways and Railroads by Tunneling
When new pipeline construction requires the crossing of highways and railroads, a pipeline is generally installed in pipe or tunnel linear plate encasement which has been installed by...
Analysis and Design of Direct Burial Sections of San Diego County Water Authority's Pipeline 4 Extension
The pipeline 4 extension is one of the San Diego County Water Authority's Phase I projects that will run for about 13 miles. Majority of this new pipeline will be 96 inch in steel and...
The Load Factor
Spangler's load-factor formula for projecting conduits is generalized to all cases of buried rigid pipe, whether in trenches or under embankments; this is in accordance with the analytical...
Microtunneling of Vitrified Clay Pipe in the United States
Vitrified clay pipe (VCP) has been used for centuries to convey waste water away for cities. In Europe and Japan, VCP has been used in the microtunnelling process for longer than 10 years....
