Fusible Polyvinylchloride Pipe: Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Construction and Rehabilitation Redefined
The development of fusible polyvinylchloride pipe with fully restrained, gasketless, thermally butt-fused joints creates a pipe system that has the same strength at the joint as the rest of the pipe. This pipe and joining technology create a fully monolithic system that can be used in conventional direct bury installations as well as cutting edge trenchless applications; including horizontal directional drilling (HDD), sliplining and pipe bursting. This technology offers some unique alternate solutions to the ongoing concerns of aging water and wastewater infrastructure, life cycle costs of new and rehabilitation installations, and installations within constrained project sites. This paper will focus on the specific technology for this type of jointing of PVC pipe and document the benefits and considerations of this technology for use in the water and wastewater industries. A recent project case study that has utilized this technology will also be reviewed.
