I have an 12" DIP waterline covering slopes of 5%-38%. It's normal to provide a concrete anchor for slopes 20% and higer, so I included a detail that shows spacing for a range of slopes.
For slopes greater then 10% it's normal to provide Trench Dams to prevent erosion in the trench. I provided a concrete trench dam detail to be used for slopes 10-20% and showed the exact location of them on our profiles, spaced approx 40' apart.
Question is, even though the trench dam and anchor serve different purposes in the design they are the same exact structure. Seems odd to use 2 different details. Any of you run into this before and ideas on the best way to handle it?
