We'll i'm going to be doing work on both sides of the road as previously mentioned. it's going to be a jack and bore scenario. We will be passing a 12" DIP under the highway. I will be connecting to an existing water line on the opposite side of the road, so unfortunately...
VA does as well, however I wasn't able to find one that matched my situation. I am talking with VDOT today though, so i'm sure they will shed some more light on the situation.
thanks.
Maury,
Thanks, that was the direction I was heading in, but I was hoping to be able to reference a detail prior to discussing with them. I'll just see what they have to say though.
thanks for the quick response.
I need to design a traffic control pattern for work on two sides of a main highway. The actually work is going to be off of the shoulder but close enough to the road that a plan will be required. I do not usually do this type of design work, but since its a small project, I wanted to try it out...
This is a pretty loaded and yet vague question...
I have been trying to research how to determine and control potential leaks in LCS (Liquid Containing Structures). I have found many good websites, and articles about the design of LCS using ACI 350, instead of ACI 318. I believe that following...
Yes, the test was successful. I ended up testing to 1375 psi, we deemed that good enough. Everything was approved, and the lines are in place and operational.
I didn't even have to duck for cover while it was testing either.
Alright,
Found a bull cap i'm going to use today.
Going to put a weldlet on the cap. then weld the cap to a pipe extention. double groove the other side of the extension pipe, then attach it all to the vic fitting with the test line.
So i'll be able to hydrotest the pipe today after all...
Well the cake pump which will be supplying the pressure, was tested up to 950psi.
According to the owner the original lines were tested at 1700psi... which I do not believe at all.
so we got them down to accepting a test at 1500psi.
I am working on getting a cap though, so there is a...
Well in reference to the cap idea. The major problem is the lead time. Apparently my rep needs to get it out of Texas, and it will be 12 weeks. Insane. keep in mind the pressure we are testing to is 1500psi.
However, I have a lead on one from Tenn. So maybe i'll get that. If not I think the...
I've talked with my distributors, and they have really long lead times on the caps I would need. They also are $$$$$$$.
So for time, and cost, I think i'm going to have to go with the plate steel.
I'm trying to design a plate connection for a hydrotest of an 8" schedule 80 carbon steel pipe. This pipe will see flows with a pressure up to 900psi coming from a hydraulic cake pump. I do not ever expect the pipe to see pressures higher than 300psi though. However, for some reason, the owner...
