    Pipe seepage?

    beej67, They are supposed to be fixing this soon, along with the erosion control issues. Not sure why it is taking so long, but they are planning to fix it...

    Pipe seepage?

    All, here a couple of pictures I took today. I should have gone yesterday right after it rained. There isn't enough water to determine anything. Photo looking into the curb inlet. 24" pipe inlet on left, 6" curb underdrain near step. Photo at same location, lower. Notice grouting around...

    Pipe seepage?

    Spartan5, There are about 10 acres that drain to this pipe. There are about 25 lots and one main road (about 1000'). There are several curb inlets along the road and a few yard drains. Homes are in the process of being constructed, so a lot of the runoff doesn't make it to the piping yet...

    Pipe seepage?

    Twinkie, The home builders (there are 2 for this subdivision) didn't rip out and move the road. The developer did. (There are a lot of problems from this developer). cvg, Thank you for this information. I think if there is a leak anywhere it will be at the curb inlet connection. I will look...

    Pipe seepage?

    I just received this email from the county engineer: "I’m not sure who you spoke with from the development team, but when they say that the pipe isn’t “sealed”, that isn’t completely accurate. ADS N-12 pipe contains a factory installed gasket within the spigot end of the pipe to meet the...

    Pipe seepage?

    gbam, For what was specified (Reinforced concrete pipe), the seal can be: bituminous pipe joint filler preformed flexible joint sealant or resilient and flexible gaskets I think these are all water tight. If the pipe were for sanitary, it would need to be tested to...

    Pipe seepage?

    TerryScan, My house will be 25' from the side property line. The pipe is in a 10' easement running parallel along the side property line. The centerline of the pipe should be about 5' from the property line. So my house will be about 20' from the centerline of the pipe.

    Pipe seepage?

    psmart, Thanks for the feedback. CarlB, There is another outlet pipe that drains another phase of the subdivision into the basin. This is the only one for this phase. There is a nice amount of water flowing from under the endwall. The lots are not graded yet to drain a lot of water to the...

    Pipe seepage?

    I just read the specs for the construction drawings. This pipe was supposed to be reinforced concrete(ODOT 706.02) and sealed(ODOT 603.06 {now 611.08}). Maybe that has something to do with the problem, since the HDPE pipe isn't sealed to the curb inlet structure.

    Pipe seepage?

    It doesn't look to be perforated inside. (see photo) Also, don't let the water lines let you think there has been water flowing through this pipe. This pipe was reused. The developer had to tear up the new road and all underground utilities and shift the road 50' west because they didn't...

    Pipe seepage?

    I am a civil engineer (sitting for PE in October) and I am building a new house. There is a 24" HDPE stormwater pipe that runs across my lot from upstream curb inlets in the road and outlets to a detention basin behind my lot. Besides the erosion control issues, lack of outlet rock protection...
