Pipe and Culvert Installation

A properly installed pipe should remain in service for 50 to 100 years with little or no repair. The instructor has documented installation practices for both flexible and rigid pipe at the local and state level. The focus of this class remains on promoting a solid understanding of installation, specifications, design requirements and material differences for pipe systems. Empower your staff with the ability to properly inspect, design, install and accept both flexible and rigid pipe systems. You will learn more about trench safety, pipe fundamentals, soil gradation and compaction, excavation, bedding, joining pipe, backfilling and testing of storm drainage pipe. You will learn common crew tasks implemented during the installation and inspection of a properly installed storm drainage pipe. The training will help you identify the risks associated with pipe installation and ways to mitigate those risks.
