In this application, the fillcrete will replace native clay backfill requiring 95% compaction. It is not cast against any structures or a bond breaker would be required.
I think there is a savings in that it will require less manpower and equipment to install the fillcrete as well as a much...
Pumpable fillcrete is a flow-able fill material consisting of a sand and cement mix (typically 1% cement). I have primarily seen it used in trenchs and excavations requiring compaction in difficult/confined areas. It is by no means structural.
I have been searching for information on using fillcrete in an excavated area. The excavated area is a high traffic area on a construction site in northern Alberta. I am looking to make the area trafficable in a short duration.
Does anyone have any insight into placing the fillcrete on frozen...
What kind of alignment tools are typically used. Does this tool provide a method of measuring for alignment?
We have been butt fusing some of the welds outside the trench as well as electrofusing some in the trench.
I have been told there is a limited on how much pipe you can string together...
The pipe is buried at least 5’ where we are open trenching and 20’ plus where we are directional drilling placing it below the frost line. The base is made of gravel and sand layers. We have not discussed the stabilization of the pipe during burying yet. I thought maybe backfilling the pipe...
We are putting in a 30” line. Unfortunately a 36” line which has been installed on the property next to us has been experiencing problems with the Electro fusion couplings failing and this has caused us concern regarding our potential for success. Since it is not our line we have not been able...
Hi all,
I have come to a dilemma. We are trying to find a suitable access to a site in order to lay down and eventually set, building and piperack modules.
The best approach appears to be a road crossing with a large armtec, multi-plate structure used as a pipeline crossing underneath. The...
I have recently been promoted to manage the demolition of an upstream oil and gas facility plant. This being my first full-scale management of such a project I thought I could ask for some pointers from members of this group who may have a background in this type of work.
The scope of work...
