Sewer Bedding and Infiltration, Gulf Coast Area
Ground water infiltration studies were performed on several sewer systems in 1962-63 and again in 1970 and the results were compared. Infiltration measurements in the systems ranged from zero to 111,560 gallons per inch of diameter per mile per day. The infiltration was slightly increased in some lines and was greatly decreased in others. The decrease is attributed to soil and grease clogging the breaks, as was observed in subsequent television inspection. Infiltration has been found to vary with time. The high infiltration rates were attributed to poor construction methods used by contractors on the main sewer system and by plumbers on house connections. Bedding and backfill material should provide even distribution of load and support for the pipe. The use of these materials and other construction techniques are described.
