Public Works Standards
Public Works Standards
(OP)
We have a waste water treatment plan in the design phase with yard piping consisting of sanitary and stormwater. In these types of sitauations where you are building a public facility I would assume that the presiding jurisdiction would want you to follow their public works standards for piping construction instead of the building code. Anyone have any insight into this?





RE: Public Works Standards
Assuming from your vernacular that you are in the US, most municipalities are not into re-inventing the wheel. They will typically ascribe to some standards whether building code or some nationally recognized group such as the American Public Works Association (APWA) or American Water Works Association (AWWA). The building code is generally silent on horizontal construction; though the Plumbing Code might have some requirements that apply.
