This interim report provides tentative selection, design, installation, and maintenance guidelines for the use of three material types of plastic pipe components in airport drainage systems. The three types chosen for recommended use are: polyethylene (PE); polyvinyl chloride (PVC); and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS). The specific plastic pipe products of these three materials that are dealt with in detail in this report are perforated corrugated PE tubing and perforated smooth-wall PVC pipe for underdrains; and unperforated smooth-wall PVC and ABS composite pipe for storm drains, collector drains, and small culverts. Available plastic pipe products were evaluated for their potential performance in airport drainage applications. The evaluation considered such factors as pipe strength, soil-structure interaction, chemical and ultraviolet radiation resistance, abrasion resistance, and resistance to biological attack. Known advantages, limitations, and risks are presented for each of the systems chosen for detailed consideration. The recommended guidelines contained herein result from an extensive literature survey, several on-site inspections, and personal contacts with researchers, owner/user/operators, designers, consultants and constructors. All are tentative in nature; validation/verification testing will be conducted during the continuation of this project.
