Restraining SWPE Pipe On A 40 degree Slope

Restraining SWPE Pipe On A 40 degree Slope

Restraining SWPE Pipe On A 40 degree Slope

(OP)
I need to anchor smooth wall HDPE pipe on the surface of a 40 degree slope for about on eyear.  Then the slide will be rebuilt and the pipe covered.  I also want to restrain the pipe in a 48" Diameter MH about 20 feet from the top of the slope.  Any recommendations or sources?

What's the diameter and length of the pipe on the slope.

Get a couple of these bolt-on-things, shown here,

Just bolt them on so the hole for the tee exits horizontally and, without penetrating your pipe, screw in an 18" length of pipe into the location where the tee pipe connection should normally go.  Don't penetrate enough to harm your pipe inside.

Slide on a cement block or two onto the 18" pipe length and fill the block and the hole around it with concrete.

I'd locate another one as close as possible, but with the tee going in the opposite direction from the first.

RE: Restraining SWPE Pipe On A 40 degree Slope

It is interesting that sometimes rather simple-sounding applications may not in the end be so simple (I noticed in the report at http://www.ferc.gov/industries/hydropower/safety/projects/taum-sauk/ipoc-rpt/full-rpt.pdf that reportedly unexpected? movement of some hdpe piping somehow initially positioned on the wall of a reservoir and used as a conduit for some sort of level sensing mechanism apparently preceded the highly publicized disaster involving the Taum Sauk reservoir.)
