Construction plans

PRIOR TO PROJECT START DATE

Proper planning prior to the construction phase of a project ensures high-quality results. During the planning phase, we:

Establish detailed construction schedule highlighting all activities including purchasing, fabrication, shop drawing production and construction work in place.
Order and expedite the delivery of all material.

Prepare and implement subcontract agreements and purchase orders.

PIPES - 101
Pipe Alternatives - What's right For Your Project?

To assure success on your next project, visit with Your Underground Partner for pipe alternatives. Recommendations on construction and pipe alternatives can be provided to engineers, architects, consultants, developers, general contractors and subcontractors. Here are a few of the many products available to consider on your next project.

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) A common choice of pipe for developments and municipalities. Most often used for water and sewer. Certa-Lok, a restrained joint pipe is commonly used on boring projects. Fusible PVC is a fairly recent addition to the market as an alternative for boring projects.
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) A heat-fused pipe often used on horizontal directional drilling projects and in industrial applications. HDPE has a high level of resistance to chemicals and abrasion as compared to other pipe products.
Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) Ductile iron pipe has been around since 1955. Commonly used on water and sewer projects for utility companies such as MUD.
Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) Most often used on storm sewer projects for public and private projects. Diameters can range from 12" to 144".
Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe (PCCP) A pipe often used on treatment and power plant projects. Also used for water lines.
CCFRPM Pipe These large diameter pipes are centrifugally cast, glass-fiber-reinforced, polymer mortar pipes. CCFRPM pipe can be used for a variety of applications including sewer interceptors, force mains, industrial effluents, and water supply.
Vitrified Clay Pipe (VCP) In use since the late 1800's, vitrified clay pipe can be used for domestic and commercial sewers.

ATONOMY OF TRENCHING

1: OSHA requires a competent person on the job site to monitor and classify soil types and determine the appropriate form of protection.

2: Three 8-foot shoring boxes pinned and stacked are required in this trench with depths reaching 24-feet.

3: The trench is dug and graded by an excavator followed by placing a layer of granular bedding. Pipe must follow the grade specified. Additional granular bedding is placed on the sides and top of the pipe before being backfilled and compacted.

4: Excavations over 4-foot in depth require protection such as benching, sloping, or shoring.

5: Access and egress is provided by a ladder and is required on all excavations over 4-foot.

6: The shoring box protects workers from cave-ins as they install water, storm, or sanitary sewer pipe. Personal protective equipment includes hard hats and boots. 1: OSHA requires a competent person on the job site to monitor and classify soil types and determine the appropriate form of protection.
