Pipe sleeves in concrete
(OP)
Hi everyone, I have a GRP pipe passing through a concrete chamber, the chamber contains an ultrasonic flow meter. for the interface between the pipe and the concrete wall of the chamber I am proposing that a pipe sleeve is cast in the chamber wall and the pipe is then passed through it. the EPC contractor wants to wrap the GRP pipe with Flexible material and concrete over it, he is saying that this is a standard method of doing things, does any one know of standard details for this type of thing?

Typically, sealing of annular space around piping is based on requirements for preventing water penetration or fire resistance. For centering/support of pipe and filling the gap a link-seal is commonly inserted then caulked with a sealant. This type may also be fire rated. Fire resistant ratings are based (in the U.S.) on tested "assemblies" as qualified by various manufacturers of fire barrier systems such as 3M.
