Exploring Use of Large-Diameter HDPE Pipe for Water Main Applications
Three workshops were held as part of a Water Research Foundation (WaterRF) research project to investigate durability and reliability of large diameter HDPE pipe (WaterRF Project #4485). As stated in this paper, the use of large diameter HDPE pipe for water applications is currently very limited, as most water utilities are not fully familiar with characteristics and capabilities of this type of pipe. The objectives of these workshops were to explore issues and concerns about use of HDPE pipe in large diameter transmission mains. The workshop participants were from water utilities, design consultants, project team members, and pipe manufacturers and installers. Through innovative brain storming sessions, the issues and concerns regarding use of large diameter HDPE were identified and subsequently ranked. This paper provides details of these workshops, topics discussed, concerns and issues with use of HDPE pipe, and strategies to resolve these concerns and issues. As results of these workshops, a set of strategies for water utilities, design consultants, and pipe manufacturers were developed and presented in this paper.
