Trenchless Installation of Restrained-Joint PVC Wastewater Pipe in Broomfield Colorado County Park
The benefits of trenchless technology are well understood by all in our industry — more cost-effective, and less disruptive to streets, driveways, and landscaping. However, what's often less clear to many engineers and city officials faced with a wide selection of materials and processes is just what type of pipe is best suited for a particular trenchless application. This paper will present the engineering considerations involved in selecting thermoplastic pipe for water/sewer directional drilling projects, focusing on assembly considerations, structural and flow performance, pressure-handling capacity, joint integrity, and compatibility with existing systems. These concepts are illustrated by the experiences of Broomfield, Colorado, where trenchless technology was successfully utilized on a modern water reuse distribution system in an area where conventional pipe installation techniques were determined to be unsatisfactory.
